2015 Freewheeler..... Am I the first???

[screwball]

Good-bye my friend 2009 Tri-Glide, you carried me 50,000 miles throughout the West, 9 states, a zillion rides out to eat, and nary a problem. Hello 2015 Freewheeler.

Ordered the driver and passenger pack rests, luggage rack, and floor board extenders. Not going to fool with the exhaust system or intake, going to leave this one pretty near stock. I have been on Harleys since 1970, the 2008 Ultra and then the trikes were the first bikes I've owned with fairings, radios, windshields, cruse controls, and all the other goodies. Figured it was time to go back to basics. Pick it up tomorrow after the dealer services it.

Good to hear your success story - please follow up with any comments/likes/dislikes as you rack up the miles on that new machine. Did you buy in AZ (should have saved a pile-vice CA)?

You might be the first to take delivery! But...my bride Debbie ordered her blue Freewheeler last Friday; it won't be here at the dealer until October. So, I guess you win, but she is antsy for it to get here. She says she is gonna keep her Lehman Storm (also blue) and keep it down on the farm, so she has something to ride when she is down there for the work weeks. My bride loves shiny blue trikes!

Keep us posted on how you like that ride! I ride a bare FLHXXX Street Glide trike, so I can appreciate what you mean about getting back to basics! LOL

Congrats Debbie!!!

We were considering keeping the '09 at our River House, but when the dealer offered 20 grand in trade we just couldn't pass that up. I was really surprised how much the dealer (Antelope Valley Harley) was willing to go. This is the 5th Harley we have purchased there, so maybe that helped.

The Triglide seems to hold its value pretty well. When I traded my 2010 I got within $1,000 of retail on the trade, from a Honda dealer no less.

Congratulations, Screwball! Nice job! ThumbUp

Would love to see more photos when you get her picked-up.

You just may be the first, but if there are others with your and my taste, you won't be the last. I think the Freewheeler is a sweet ride and I can appreciate having a basic ride without all the extras. It appears to be vivid black no less. That's been the color of all my bikes for about 35-40 years so I think that was a wise choice.

CONGRATS Screwball Enjoy

I was looking at the Freewheeler today, My dealer had 3 of them , All 3 were sold...
So I couldn't even sit on them..

Congratulations Screwball.....I'll be listening to your comments!epper:

 

[Brentwood Bob]

Congrats Screwball. Let us know what you think and somes pics would be good. I sat on one a week or so ago and my first impressions were its a great bike for the price point but only time will tell. 8k-10k saving doesn't hurt for sure.

 

[screwball]

Pictures??? I got Pictures. Finally downloaded the phone. Ain't technology grand, carry around a telephone with access to the world and everything that was ever written and it takes pictures too. Will wonders never cease.

First 3 were at a dealer negotiating on Wednesday. Last two were pick-up day. I guess you could call this the 'bar hopper' of trikes. With no fairing or tourpack you feel like you are sitting on it, not in it. A new experience.

 

[Gorilla]

The smile tells it all. Ride on Screwball.

 

[Papa Zook]

Congrats Screwball! At 133lbs lighter than the TriGlide it ought to be a pretty nimble machine. ThumbUp

 

[Peter A.]

Looks good.......appears you are @ Antlope HD, we will be down there next week for the rally on
our Street Glide trikes!
ENJOY that new ride.....Pete

Congrats again Steve. Haven't trike talked In awhile.

I'm jealous you bought my trike. So this is what AT&T retirement is like. I would love to hear more about your thoughts going forward. Keep In touch my friend.

:clapping:Beautiful Trike, Congrats. I'm so spoiled with fairing and stereo I don't know if I could go bareback again. Just getting older and like to be comfortable. Ride Safe and enjoy!
