New Tri Glide

[427dave]

Well I did it. I traded my Ultra Limited for a Tri Glide, We put 120 miles on yesterday just burning up gasoline. It does burn more gas than the Limited! The wife seems alot more pleased with the three wheels. Course I tried to lean the first turn I made. They don't lean and it went straight.:AGGHH: I have it down pat now ray: I think. Also the putting of the feet down to keep from tipping over.:wtg:

Usually takes about 30K miles to get the grin off your face . . . .!

The learning curve is deffinetly propotional to the area you live in / example Kansas 2,000 miles NY State 500,. Formular is : Learning curve takes longer if you have fewer curves

I agree you learn real fast in my part of the woods. Not many long stright roads. Mostly curves and bumps on the interstate. I684 from Brewster NY south is a killer. tar joints kill your back,neck,teeth and fork seals. Congrats on the new Trike.

Congrats! Nice color too!
I still lean a bit in curves after riding my 2010 TG for a year. Helps with the push/pull on the bars in curves and turns.:Biker:

Congrats on new Tri-Glide. I find leaning on curves helps counteract the centrifical force trying to throw you. Or maybe I am taking curves too fast. Haven't been able to lift either back wheel yet. I keep trying.

Congrats....gorgeous Trike.....On that putting your feet down thing.....that lesson is learned as soon as you run over your foot the first time........don't ask me how I know.

Oh yes, a little body lean makes the push/pull cornering work well. It's just that trying to steer by leaning the trike will you off the road into some farmer's field.............. I have a feeling EVERY new triker has done that once. LOL!

:Trike1:I put my foot down and Lost my shoe! I went back to get it, now I know how a single shoe gets left on the road! Embarrassment!

 

[jackf1950]

congrats!!! I got mine, same color, this month... I didn't lean so much as holler out loud at me
"FEET UP...FEET UP"....
and.. just for gp's if it seems a lil' hard to steer, check out my post on
new tri-glide hard to steer"..

Congrats. Yes, I still lean a bit into curves too, and put my feet down at stops, but I love our Tri Glide.

I got my TG April 15 this year. Traded my 09 Ultra for it. Love it. The old boot loves it too. Put a pingle electric shifter on it, the control module blew, Pingle sent us another, now it shifts. Have 600 or so miles on her now. I like it better than the 2 wheeler. Good luck 427Dave and happy smiles!!

Congrats on the new trike. Also traded in our Ultra in Feb. Haven't looked back. Wife loves it and so do I. Lot less to worry about. Now wife can climb on, get settled then I get on and we're off. You'll make the transition quickly. Just don't run over your foot.
