Hi, my name is Gary and I have been looking for a trike forum for a couple days now until I found this one which seems to be the best.
I just bought a 2012 Tri Glide last Friday. Red and Merlot. I have owned Harleys since 1988 at which time I converted from Honda's/Kawasaki's/Yamaha's.
I have been riding for 52 years.
Served with the 3rd Tank Battalion in Viet Nam in 1967.
I have a lot of questions and hope to find the answers here.

Live in Vernon Hills and ride a 2011 Harley trike that is merlot/black. Picked it up in April and already have 11k in miles. I retired from the Air Force in 1994 and have been doing real estate since then. Did a marine corps ride this past Sunday with about 1,000 other bikers. Great ride with great weather. Getting ready to put bike in storage until April. Hope you also had some great riding this summer.

Bikerdude75, I was at the Marine Heroes ride also - haven't missed one yet.
I was wandering around looking at all the bikes to get ideas for a drink holder.
I think my only option seems to be mounting it on the passenger grab handle somehow.
