    Something's wrong if you are only getting 125 mpg. I average about 160 miles easily per tank. I have gone 185 miles once in Canada (they don't have gas stations every mile like we do).... But, I don't stop that often for GAS anyway = at 75 I need a pit stop way before that.

    I'm also computer challenged - thank god I kept my Garmin GPS. I hate the Harley GPS.

    Default New Year's Present

    Almost 7 weeks out of rotator cuff surgery and I lowered my 2019 Tri Glide Ultra off of the J&S trike lift to get on it and see how comfortable I was reaching out to the throttle and front brake with the arm connected to the right shoulder that will have been out of surgery for 7 weeks this coming Monday.

    My physical therapy and home exercises have been going quite well and one of my first PT's said that the position I would have on my trike was such that it would not really stress the ligaments that were operated on. Sooooooo, my plan if all goes well is to do a short celebratory ride on Tuesday January 1st to celebrate 8 weeks out of surgery and to help heal my psyche that has missed riding so much.

    The great thing is that I can fully use my left arm to turn the handlebars even stationary from right to left so will not have to rely much if any on my right shoulder for turning maneuvers. I will just have to be able to hold up my arm, twist the throttle and occasionally use one finger to actuate the front/rear braking system on the new linked brakes. That, combined with the linked foot brake will give me tons of stopping power. The riding this time of year in South Florida is just ideal and I have been dreaming of the day that I would be able to get back on the TGU. As many of you know, I acquired the trike 10 days before surgery, put 1000 miles on the trike, did the 1k service and the trike has been sitting here on its lift waiting for its first ride which will come on January 1, 2019. And no, I am not pushing it in terms of the surgery. I have been extremely compliant with my surgeon's recommendations and have done every last thing asked of me by him and/or my PT consultants that I have been seeing on a three-day a week schedule. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of my fellow trikers! Bob

    Default Great Review

    Bob, I have the exact twin to yours.

    I'm at 145 miles, And could not leave it alone. Weather's not on my side, but I did install the kury rear chrome flaps.

    They look perfect on the rear with the trunk guard.. Anyway, Thanks for the review,

    Ed, You know the Christmas rules. If we don't have a picture of that beautiful Scorched Orange/Black Denim TGU with those Kury rear chrome flaps then it didn't happen. Besides, I would love to see how they look

    Default First ride after 7.5 weeks out of shoulder surgery

    Name:  FirstRideAfterSurgery (300x169).jpg
Views: 383
Size:  91.7 KBHooray, I beat my artificial deadline by a couple of days and rode my 2019 Tri Glide Ultra from Vero Beach, Florida down to the Harley dealer in Stuart, Florida. Started out just after noon with relatively clear skies and temps of 84 degrees. Ride home was about 81.5 degrees and extremely pleasant. I followed the Atlantic Ocean route along Hutchinson Island so that I could smell the salt air and see some beautiful water along with my face in the breeze. What a wonderful experience to be back in the saddle again. Due to the types of damage that were repaired, the riding position was such that it put very little strain on the surgical work that had been performed 7.5 weeks earlier and I have been extremely diligent with my physical therapy program both at the clinic and at home. I am hoping to be able to get in an out of my street legal race car in a couple of weeks and be able to use my 5-point racing harness seat belts. Picture will be forthcoming (otherwise it didn't happen) when the darn server moves it through this busy system this time of year and I will enclose a self-portrait while I impatiently wait.

    Default 400 Plus Miles After Shoulder Surgery

    I am happy to report that after 9.5 weeks of rehab of a right rotator cuff surgery, with diligent physical therapy I began riding my 2019 Tri Glide after 7.5 weeks of rehab. I have only put a little over 400 miles on the trike since getting back into the saddle but it feels terrific. This is the best time of year to be riding in South Florida when some of the days are cooler and in the 70's instead of 80's which makes for really fun riding.

    Today marked a real milestone in that my lithe 125 pound athletic wife accompanied me two-up on a ride from Vero Beach to Jensen Beach along Hutchinson Island (Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other) and back along the other side of the Indian River with a stop in Jensen Beach for lunch overlooking the Indian River (Intracoastal river). She had not been on one of my Tri Glides for probably 1.5 years and I set conditions up just right to make her feel more comfortable. For her personal comfort, I bought her a new 3/4 helmet with built in sun visor. I bought her a nylon head rag from BMW to keep her hair and scalp more comfortable. I removed the extra Air Hawk cushion I had offered her to keep her less out of the wind as she is 5'7" and the Queen seat on the Harley was putting her up into the wind with the Air Hawk.

    Now for the best part other than the fantastic scenery and wonderful seafood lunch. The 2019 Tri Glide two-up is a significantly different ride than my former 2016 and 2017 TGU's were. The combination of the front and rear suspension changes along with the smoother 114 c.u. M8 engine made for the finest ride we have ever experienced together on any of my Tri Glides. I actually noticed that the increased weight from my spouse made the 2019 even smoother on uneven/bumpy surfaces. The added power, smoother transmission and clutch engagement along with increased smoothness of the latest M8 engine were simply much better than my previous Tri Glides. My wife even commented that she enjoyed the ride quality more than my previous two Tri Glides. If I were to assign a score with only 1400 miles on my 2019, on a 1-10 scale with 1=terrible and 10=perfect, I would rate the 2019 as a 7.8. I would give my 2017 M8 TGU a score of 6.8 and my 2016 a score of 6.2. Of course, these are very arbitrary and idiosyncratic values but they represent the progression of personal experiences I have been having with the approximate 23,000 combined miles I cumulatively put on the three trikes to date.

    The take home message for me today is that the 2019 in so many different ways really stands out as a fairly significant improvement in the product since my first TGU in 2015 which was a 2016 year model. I sincerely hope that Harley continues to refine the product because they seem to be getting more fun to ride with each new iteration of trike.

    Default amputation bras gauche

    [CITATION=Capt.Bob;635973] Presque 7 semaines après une chirurgie de la coiffe des rotateurs et j’ai abaissé mon Tri Glide Ultra 2019 de l’élévateur de trike J & S pour y monter et voir à quel point j’étais à l’aise de tendre la main à l’accélérateur et au frein avant avec le bras connecté à l’épaule droite qui aura été hors chirurgie pendant 7 semaines lundi prochain.



    Ma physiothérapie et mes exercices à domicile se sont plutôt bien déroulés et l’un de mes premiers PT a dit que la position que j’aurais sur mon trike était telle qu’elle ne stresserait pas vraiment les ligaments opérés. Donc, mon plan si tout se passe bien est de faire un court tour de célébration le mardi 1er janvier pour célébrer 8 semaines après la chirurgie et pour aider à guérir ma psyché qui a tellement manqué de rouler.



    La grande chose est que je peux utiliser pleinement mon bras gauche pour tourner le guidon même stationnaire de droite à gauche, donc je n’aurai pas à compter beaucoup, voire aucun, sur mon épaule droite pour les manœuvres de virage. Je n’aurai qu’à être capable de lever le bras, de tordre l’accélérateur et d’utiliser occasionnellement un doigt pour actionner le système de freinage avant/arrière sur les nouveaux freins liés. Cela, combiné avec le frein à pied lié, me donnera des tonnes de puissance de freinage. La conduite à cette période de l’année dans le sud de la Floride est tout simplement idéale et je rêvais du jour où je pourrais revenir sur le TGU. Comme beaucoup d’entre vous le savent, j’ai acquis le trike 10 jours avant la chirurgie, j’ai mis 1000 miles sur le trike, j’ai fait le service 1k et le trike est assis ici sur son ascenseur en attendant son premier trajet qui aura lieu le 1er janvier 2019. Et non, je ne le pousse pas en termes de chirurgie. J’ai été extrêmement conforme aux recommandations de mon chirurgien et j’ai fait toutes les dernières choses qui m’ont été demandées par lui et / ou mes consultants en physiothérapie que j’ai vues trois jours par semaine. Joyeuses Fêtes et Bonne Année à tous mes collègues trikers! Bob[/CITATION]

    Bonjour Capt.Bob ! je suis amputé du bras gauche, pensez-vous que je puisse conduire un trike ?
