2012 Harley Tri Glide Trike....

[Thomkm]

Tried out one of the 2012's yesterday..... SWEET!!!!! This will be my first Trike... with bad knees, no other option. Have been without a bike for a lot of years...

Any suggestions or questions I should ask?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You will love being out on the road again
Allow yourself a few miles (200 to 500) to get really comfortable with the steering, but you'll soon be struggling to keep the silly grin off your face!

[Thomkm]

Hopefully I can close the deal this week....

[TaylorMcStrat]

Glad you found one. I ordered mine over a month ago, and am picking it up in a couple hours. The next two to come are already sold as well. Same for another dealer nearby.

[Thomkm]

This was the first one they received. They have a Red one and a Black one on the way.... hopefully I can close the deal on the one they have, this week...

[Thomkm]

I have had a few Honda's thru the years and wanted to go with a Harley this time...

Closed the deal and pick it up this Friday. Was a little surprised at the cost of insurance..over $800 a year...

see if you can get a S&s direct cam put in. that sure makes a difference in performance.then you don't have to wory about the stock cam shoe wear.

Who did you get that insurance through?

Insurance for me and my wife is $413. Not sure about your driving history or other factors, but if you're older than 30, and have a pretty clean driving record, that seems rather high.

Been through several insurance companies on several bikes........they keep jumping the rate on me by over a hundred bucks on the second year. This year I have Geico and they have low-bid all the others by over a hundred bucks ($484). We will see what happens with them when I renew next April.

Wow $800 per year is a bit steep. I have both a 2006 Ultra Classic and my 2010 Triglide along with my car and home through Allstate. The insurance on both the bike and trike together is about $340 per year if I remember correctly, and I have some pretty high limits and $500 co-pay.

Not sure who you bought the insurance from but you should be able to do a little better than that unless you have some violations on your record. Also, depending on the state you live in, you can get some discounts with a motorcycle endorsement on your license and after taking a safety class. ENJOY the trike! I thought I would never......never say never!

The policy is from Progressive (where I have all of my insurance) Clean driving record.... 64 yrs old... There are 3 big ticket items on the policy..... $332 Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury......$106 Liability to others.... $213 Collision (with $500 deductible) ... seems high to me...

Progressive tried screwing me for $650. Had my old bike and truck with them. Geico $390. Need I say more?
