Wow more oil usage, that sucks. I haven't had a chance to ride any of the 14's yet, next summer I may rent a bike or a trike for the day so I can really wring it out.
Took a test ride on the 2014 Tri-Glide yesterday. Not used to a stock motor but it did seem to have more torque and get up and go than stock 2011 had. The first thing I noticed was the smell of anti-freeze. I'd hate to smell that all day.It did ride smoother than my 2011, but I had gel install front and back on my stock seat along with Gator and Ostirich skin which made harder ride. The radio sounds awesome. I wonder how many accidents there will be playing with the big screen. . All in all I was impressed with the short ride. Having issues with oil consumption again so called the guy that fixed my bike this last time and he quoted me $900-1100 to either do new take off jugs or bore mine 5 over and get new pistons. He said the new jugs from Harley aren't true anyway. That's the only reason I was looking at new bikes. I have too much money in mine. The new brakes really work great, wish mine had them. Jim

Red Ultra Powered By Head-Quarters 120, Easy Clutch Pull By ClutchWIZ. 2012 GL1800 Hannigan. I've yet to ride a stock Harley which wasn't in need of a mechanical intervention.
Yeh Mike, it was nice. I really don't need another 6yrs of payments. I still owe too much on mine. They are going to give me $27,000 trade in which is pretty good. Another dealer wouldn't even trade because they already have a used trike on the floor. I guess they don't want my money. I was really impressed with the brakes. Hope everybody's doing good there. Say hi too pops for me. Jim
