Love my 2013 try glide best bike iv ever owned and ridden

Every bike I've ever owned was the best bike I'd ever owned - - - up until I bought the next one.

I had more fun on my 2012 TG then I had on all my previous bikes put together. Hope fully I can say the same thing on my 2014TG - if I ever get to ride it. Temps are going to be in the 40's next week - WOOHOO! finally. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to program the GPS for the way I want it. But reading all the posts here it's not looking very good.

I can remember my dad and I stopping at a dealer when he 1st got his Triglide and the dealer being surprised he was traveling on it. Dealer said all the people who they had sold them to had only just been riding them around town.

That is really sad if true.......and expensive. I think I'd give up riding if all I did was ride around town.



I'd get a Vespa to do that.

Don't know about CR Ratings, But the worst bike/trike i ever had the displeasure of owning over the last 45 years was the CanAm spyder. Just thinking about BRP Makes me want to...

Just thought I would mention the term "Jap" is a insult . The people of Japan view it about the same way as being called sub human. I know this based on my son being married to a japanese national. The term was a term used in WW2 and was a intended insult.

I though Jap meant Jewish American Princes. I use to work with one. She was a very intelligent and a beautiful lady that liked it when I called her "My Jap". Of course she new it was meant as a compliment and that I had a great deal of respect for her.

I understand how you feel though. Some people are sensitive and sometimes for very good reasons. Fortunately I am not one of the sensitive types.

I got that knocked out of me many years ago. My folks subscribed to the Bill Cosby philosophy. As one of ten rug rats I knew they could make another one just like me.

As far as C R goes I canceled my subscription years ago. I have no respect for a group that list the 2014 Jeep Wrangler as a piece of junk because it does not ride as good as they would like on the highway. Or a F250 as a bad choice since it does not get 30mpg.

I own a Goldwing because my wife's back injury is sensitive to the vibration of the Tri-Glides V Twin.

As for Harley: They must be doing something right. I have never seen Yamaha tattooed on anyone's chest.

Its true, all a person has to do is start checking odometers on used bikes and trikes at the dealer and you'd be surprised at how low the mileage really is. A couple years a go I looked at an 03 V-Rod which at the time was 9 years old, it had a crowd pleasing 5,000 miles on it. When I had a good relationship with the dealer I bought all my Harley's from I borrowed a used 04 Ultra Classic which at the time was 4 years old, it had 11,000 miles on it.

A good may of the people on forums are enthusiast who get out and ride, hang around on a Goldwing forum for awhile and you'll find people who have 200,000+ on their bikes and folks who put 100k on in as few as 3 years.

It is not the miles you put on them, it is the miles you ENJOY on them! Harleys have ALWAYS done that for me.
