Hi; I'm new here and recently new to Harley, and Riding In General , nearly one year ago , while purchasing a gift card at Big Moose Harley for my Daughter , I first saw the new 2013 Tri-Glide , and casually said to my wife that , I could see myself riding " One of Those" , being nearly 50 , and easing up on a mid life crisis, but kind of thinking in the back of my mind , it will never come to be , so we left after purchasing the gift card , but the Idea still burned but only smoldering in the back of both mine and my wife's mind , we started talking about the idea, we went back to the dealership to look again , the trike had been sold , but we had been bitten , and asked the salesmen when they might get another , he told us that that was the last 2013 they had and they were getting no more , until the 2014 come out in august https://www.hdforums.com/forum/image...icon_frown.gif , but we were not deterred we started going in every weekend , hoping , and waiting , then in September we got the call they had two coming in , we cleared our schedules and went in , it was Love , bordering on Lust at first sight, . We now Own A 2014 Rushmore edition Tri-Glide and Have nearly 4500 miles to date , with 100's of 1000's of mile to go https://www.hdforums.com/forum/image...on_captain.gif
