    Trikes are much nicer than bikes,when you get caught in stop-n-go traffic.

    Prior to me buying a Tri-Glide I had very little experience with motorcycles, and what little experience I had was over 30 years ago on 400cc or under Jap bikes.

    I wanted the stability of a Trike because I have two newly implanted Ti hips, and did not like the thought of me trying to back a nearly 1000 pound 2-wheel motor cycle out of the garage and down the driveway on my 65 year old legs.

    At first I wanted a Can-Am RT, because I thought that the HD Tri-Glide looked like a giant Hoverround....one of those little electric 3 or 4 wheeled mobility assist devices that old farts poke around on. Then they came out with the Freewheeler, my dream come true. Stability of three wheels and a Hot Rod look.

    But the more that I compared the Tri-Glide to the Freewheeler, the more I started leaning toward the TG.

    It has a fairing and windshield for long ride comfort and protection.

    It has over 3 times the storage capacity, and the Infotainment center and touch screen is a big bonus.

    Before I bought the Trike I had thought about removing the Tour-Pak because to me that was what screamed 'old mans bike' the most. But now after just 4 months the Tour-Pak is the most beloved feature. It is like a comfortable pair of old slippers, and I use it every time that I ride whether it is just around the corner to the hardware store or on a multi state long distance ride. And that back seat 'could' be a real CHICK magnet A fella can dream.

    To me, the Tri-Glide is like the Cadillac Escalade of motorcycles.

    one of the biggest advantages of riding a trike is mamma can move around all she wants to take photos and never bother me. I really love that. On 2 wheels we look like drunks sometimes as she is reluctant to tell me she is going to move around for what ever reason.
    Safer, you bet ya.

    Rode 2 wheels for 60+ years but developed Parkinson's a couple years ago. With Parkinson's you loose your balance easily and get fatigued very fast. Totally unable to ride on 2 wheels. I reverted to 3 to continue riding. The three wheelers are a God sent for person like me.

    LOL ... my first CMA ride, the road captan did that ... I had to pull over and stop ... laughed so hard I almost wet myself ... it was real funny till I realized he put a dent in his CVO Ultra .. then not so funny.

    Who am I kidding ... it was still funny ... just expensive.

    Many are more worried about the image when riding on 3 vs 2. Most have never even been on 3. My comment "DON"T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT" Been on a Harley 3 wheeler since 2009 and over 130k miles. I can still ride 2 but I would rather be on 3.

    #1.....One word: Stability, especially riding two up.

    #2.....No more stomping the blacktop every time you come to a stop.

    #3.....You got a 85% chance of staying up-right in a minor crash.

    #4.....Passengers feel secure, (see #1).

    #5.....No need for side and center stands.

    #6....."Laying it down" at critical times is not a option.

    #7.....You have a better recovery chance if you blow a tire at highway speeds.

    #8....
    Re: #6....."Laying it down" ….. I rode MCs starting in early '70s, never did I view intentionally crashing as a viable option to avoid a crash. In fact, I never considered "Laying it down" even before then when on my bicycles.

    As to additions to the list, I'll add "easier to just pull over almost anywhere out of traffic way for thoe photos along the way".

    Watch out for gas pump islands.

    Recall one of my stepbrothers boasting once when he laid his Triumph down because a car pulled out … like he did good. Then I noted the road rash, the limp, and the bike that was then trashed. "Didn't you brake?" I asked, he said the rear wheel just skidded. I asked about the front, he said he didn't want to go over the handle bars? His Triumph had a conical (comical we called them) drum brake, not sure it would even squeal a tire.

    This was some time long after he streaked through the new McDonalds on a Rickman 250 on the hind wheel, wearing boots & helmet.

    It was a dare.

    Oh. I'm eternally thankful he survived into full adulthood, but he did love to push the envelope.
