It's worth the wait, you will enjoy it.pepper
 
I have the scoop on that red one from Chicago...

It's not street legal. The motor has been removed and replaced with a big block Chevy with a blower. It's chain driven on both sides and that is for reverse gear only. The drive shaft came out of a Mac Truck and runs to a Dyna rear end chunk.

They say the rear tires won't hold it when you let the clutch out in any gear. Only a guy that is 6' 9" can ride it to reach around the motor to hit the rear brake or shift it... The trunk was sealed up and turned into a gas tank and the tour pack only holds Nitrous. The original gas tank is for storage and the 4 point rider harness. When you hit the Cruise control switch the Nitrous comes in and you can make up to 1200 HP. The only issue there is you need both hands on the grips just to hold on. I really don't see the need as the front wheel never touches the ground....I mean, REALLY??

The rear bumper was turned into a stop-chute but it's the latest beta model that folds itself back up so you don't have to spend an hour packing it again.

Hope your dealer is prepared to deliver that bad boy!!

OK, just kidding around. Like everyone said, Congrats....You're going to love it.
 
Congratulations on the new red TriGlide! Oh and don't mind Mr.Wizard, all those diet root beers he drinks still have the caffeine and his mind races a bit at times :D.

that was great.
 
I forgot to say it is the '13' and im ready for whatever is has to offer,just ready to sit my butt on it and ride.Marge,i joined the TOI last night so maybe we can get in on some of the get to gathers and ride
 
You're going to love the new trike. I have the red also, and after a month and 600 miles it just gets better each time I ride. Really gets attention everywhere I go. After 60 years of owning HD's, this seems to be the best so far.
 
Black is faster and meaner! Congrats on the new TG, Love the Bumpus group always friendly and helpful. At least you'll be riding all winter... Welcome to our world.
 
Mr Wiz, I just dont think you are all there but hey,im not either,lol sounds like a good group of people to be around,I think i will fit right in if yall will allow me to

I actually live in Hermitage between Mt. Juliet and Nashville. You are going to love your new TG. And lets hope you'll not be like alot of us, who couldn't ride one at first...Took me 3 tries before I got the hang of it. After a while you'll wonder why you never rode one earlier. the biggest thing is to not put your feet down!!! Once you get muscle memory, its a piece of cake. Have fun with that new "Red" trike.

Oh, I get to ride Wiz's trike in two weeks, if I keep my nerve up! That trike is "The Beast".

After years of working,this is a retirement gift for all the hard work,course my older brother is giving me the do's and dont's but thats all right,first ride we gonna do it to the flea market in Ky for leathers.He has found a booth up there that he has bought chaps,jackets and such so we gonna make the ride and see,Im 2 hours from Nashville so its just up 140 for me
 
Went to the dealer today for the Saturday parking lot party,they has several booths set up displaying things,my wife found a dog rescue booth and signed up for a drawing to be giving away later on and we were inside getting my wife fit for a helmet and they called mine and her name as winners.I won a side grinder and she won two baskets full of dog food,treats,and toys and then back inside wife won a tee shirt and I won a cap,Pretty good day at the dealer party,everyone was great and found several people we were kin to as well
