I've been lurking for quite awhile but its time to join the party. The minister of War and Finance (i.e. the Wife) and I just bought our first Harley, a 2016 Tri-glide. We currently have a number of other bikes (2 Honda, 1 Indian) but we were never totally comfortable two up on any of them. We researched three-wheelers for six months, talked to everyone we could find who owned one, lurked on several forums, etc. Finally we rented a Tri-Glide for a week from Eagle riders and spent a wonderful week riding in Southern Utah; that did it.
Love the bike; original owner had put only 4000 miles on it and lots of add on goodies. Looks/ runs like new!
If you haven't ridden down through the Canyon-lands, Valley-of-the-Gods, etc then you HAVE GOT to put that on your bucket list. We spend a week there mid-September. Very little traffic, few people, exceptional weather. Two out of three vehicles passed were bikes. Two out of three people met were from Europe (they have discovered it!). Outstanding ride.
Had a front move through while ridding, spend about two hours approx. 80 miles in the strongest wind storm I have ever ridden in; I think that is when I decided a Tri-glide was in our future; the bike was incredibly stable and strong in that difficult environment. Saw a number of two wheel riders (including peddle bikes) having a hell of a difficult time and we just rolled along quite fine.
I tell the kids I AM NOT going through my second childhood-----more like my fourth or fifth.
