Hi all,
I have a 2015 Road Glide Special I bought new. I had a 2005 Ultra Glide that I bought new but crashed it near Gallup New Mexico in June 2014. My rear tire exploded and came of the rim. Broke some ribs and my left collarbone. Some serious road rash. I started thinking about trikes after that. Harley would not deal on their Tri-Glide and frankly I wanted a new style i.e., frame mounted fairing. So I stayed with two wheels. I'll be 62 soon and my knees have both been scoped'. The weight of the Road Glide is starting to concern me some too. My local indie mechanic is an authorized Champion dealer. He recommends the solid axle. My wife may ride with me more than she does now once I trike it. I have been riding since I was 14 and have owned 8 motorcycles. I am very aware of the difference in steering will go easy at first to get the hang of it. I live in Southern Maryland so our riding season from March to November. Three wheels may extend that some if it is not too cold.
Now all I have to do is pull the trigger.
