Hi all. I'm new to the site and new to the Trike world. Traded in a Road King and Softtail for my new 2001 Tri-Glide Ultra-Classic. I was a bit hesitant after reading reviews for the 2009 and 2010 but just went for it and so far I'm quite happy.
Only had it for a little over a week and have just over 500 miles on it but I'm finally getting used to the feel of a Trike over a bike. Can't wait to actually get on the road for a longer ride.

Welcome from Las Vegas. Prior to Las Vegas I lived in the Seattle area (Puyallup) for almost 11-years. Rode year-round up there; even the sunny winters

TrikeHD, Welcome! I am sure you will enjoy the ride here almost as much as the trike (yea, right, like that is possible). You are in my favorite area of the country, you have some beautiful riding areas there. Bet you have a rain suit handy on your trike. :yes:

I lived in Seattle between 1998 and 1999, and I sure do miss it and the snow-capped mountains and the temperate rain forest and ...too much to list. The only reason I'm not there now is because my wife can't stop throwing up on plane rides. She has to be forced out of the bathroom just to land. After the last flight in February 1999 ...

Wife: That's it, I'm never flying again.
Me: Well, how are we going to get back to Louisiana to visit family.
Wife: We'll just drive.
Me: We can't drive. That's 7 or 8 days round trip of ... just driving.
Wife: Well ... we're not living in Seattle then.

And now you know ... the rest of the story.
