    First 300 mile ride and impressions of my 2019 Tri Glide Ultra

    First 300 mile ride and impressions of my 2019 Tri Glide Ultra Took delivery of my 2019 M8 (114) yesterday afternoon. Spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening waxing the shiny parts of the Scorched Orange/Black Denim trike and checked all of the fluids, tire pressures and rear shock...

    2019 HD Tri Glide Ultra - Meh

    I finally got to see a 2019 HD Tri Glide Ultra at a relatively local dealer. I was wondering about numerous new little things on the 2019 and if it might be worth a jump from my 2017 M8 TGU with 7500 miles. The answer in a nutshell is "Meh". For someone upgrading to the newer M8 engine, it would...

    Took the Advanced Rider MSF course today

    With 400k plus seat miles on bikes/trikes, I realized that at age 68, it might not be a bad idea to take an advanced rider MSF course. Firstly, it provided a formalized opportunity to see how my skillsets have "aged", to pick up some safety tips and also get a 10% discount on my insured trikes...

    Happy to Own a M8 Tri Glide and a Cam-Am F3S Spyder

    The past couple of days in North Florida we have experienced warmer afternoons that have been really terrific for riding. The day before yesterday, I rode down to the coast on my M8 Harley Tri Glide Ultra and just enjoyed the heck out of it. A number of people were oogling the trike and...

    First two trike rides after a total left hip replacement

    Modern medicine and new trikes are frankly amazing. 4 1/2 weeks ago, I had a total left hip replacement with the surgeon using the newer anterior (front of the leg) approach to get to the hip joint and replace with titanium rod/ceramic coated femoral head and polymer cup (acetabulum). On Friday...

    Can't stand the thought of owning an "orphan"

    The next 6-7 days are a real nail biter in terms of finding out what the MOCO has been plotting for the 2018 Tri Glides. Having owned a 2016 and migrated to the M8 2017, I am hoping that I did not buy an "orphan" in terms of the frame, suspension, etc. I know that the MOCO has to keep moving...

    Continued Love Affair with the 2017 Tri Glide and 2015 Can-Am F3S Spyder

    Continued Love Affair with the 2017 Tri Glide and 2015 Can-Am F3S Spyder Wow, am I ever hooked on trikes! Today, I did about 80 miles of a 190 mile ride on my Can-Am F3S Spyder on twisty North Florida/South Georgia roads. Then I decided that I had not had enough riding so continued on for the...

    J&S Trike Lift "Wowser"

    All I can start off saying is what Snagglepuss said "Heavens to Murgatroyd"! (You old duffers will understand the time that we were hearing these Hanna/Barbara utterings). I assembled my J&S Trike Lift yesterday and this morning, carefully, after reading the lifting instructions, proceeded to...

    Things learned about the M8 Tri Glide in 30 days -Long Winded

    Things learned about the M8 Tri Glide in 30 days -Long Winded Okay, this is my take on the 2017 M8-engined Tri Glide Ultra that I traded a 2016 Twin-Cam 103 for. As a point of reference, I have been riding legally for 50 years and the 2017 M8 TGU was my 99th bike/trike including sport bikes...

    Trikes are so much more fun

    It was a beautiful day in North Florida/South Georgia and I went on about a 200 mile ride on my 2005 Harley Road King. Although there was a bit of nice feeling being able to take curves leaned over or migrate within my lane with a touch of countersteering and/or slight lean, I realized that I...

    Harley Tri Glide vs. Can-Am F3-S Spyder for Fit

    I had posted this in the Can-Am section but thought it would be of interest to Harley Tri Glide owners and those that are concerned about a lack of IRS for the Harley. It has been an interesting journey owning both a 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3-S and a 2016 Harley Tri Glide Ultra. There is about a...

    Can-Am Spyder F3-S vs. Harley Tri Glide For Fit

    It has been an interesting journey owning both a 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3-S and a 2016 Harley Tri Glide Ultra. There is about a $14k difference in price but I swear, I had to spend a bunch to fit myself to the Spyder in comparison to the Tri Glide. I have a deteriorating left hip from injuries that...

    Three and Now Two

    OK, I will fess up that I missed some two wheel motorcycling. Not a lot since I got my 2016 Harley Tri Glide and then a Can-Am Spyder F3-S as my sport trike, but still missed some of the conventional feel. My funky left hip had driven me to trikes but I have worked at self-rehabbing it over the...

    Transmission Fluid Oil Change on a TGU and Lower Levels after 6k Miles

    Transmission Fluid Oil Change on a TGU and Lower Levels after 6k Miles I was going on an extended trip and wanted to change all of the fluids on my 2016 TGU. After returning from the trip, I noticed that the tranny fluid was a bit low on the dipstick. Is it common for our Tri Glides to use...

    Harley Tri Glide versus Everyone Else

    First off, I have owned a 2016 Harley TGU for 6 months now and have about 5400 miles on it. I had ridden a friend's 2015 TGU and thought that it might be time to get off my 2012 RGU being that I have a bit of a gimpy left hip. Yesterday, I went over to our local Can-Am dealer and sat on a 2016...

    Wow, DK Custom Comfort Lift is the Bomb

    I have 5k miles on my 2016 TG and lightly scrapped a rear muffler coming out of a gas station one day. A riding buddy had just recently installed a pair of DK Custom Comfort Lift Kit parts on his 2015 TG and was raving about how transformative the mod was. The only sad part of that story is that...
