New from Alaska
Greetings from Anchorage. I have a 2013 Tri-Glide I traded my 2008 Ultra for (along with many k of course). After 3700 miles, including trips to Fairbanks, Seward, Hope and the closer areas, we are very pleased with the Tri-Glide. Without question, there is a several hundred mile learning curve needed in order to really enjoy riding it. I ride over 12,000 miles a year in Alaska and had 52k on the Ultra when traded. Though I initially missed being able to lean as you do on two wheelers, it passed quickly and you find you get around corners about the same speed ad on the two wheel Ultra and without question the Tri-Glide deals with unexpected dirt, sand, gravel, pot holes etc, better than any two wheeler. I am actually anticipating an additional month or more riding here, as the main roads are soon clear in winter and with three wheels (I will put either Blizzak or Michelin Xice on the rear) should be able to reach the roads from my iced in neighborhood. I am interested in whether I can mount the new 16" rear and 17" front wheels found on the 2014 Tri-Glide on my 2013 model?
A big welcome to you from sunny Southern California. Glad to have you on board.
