Get 2nd Trike

[trikermutha]

Well, she did it. She turned her learner's permit into a trike license. We have been riding some and she now has ~1800 miles on it. She is doing really well and I still think she is 'younger' now that she has the Spyder.:clapping:

Freewheeler and SpyderF3

In June we took a trip to Florida and on the trip we rented a Tri Glide and a RT spyder. My wife liked the Spyder and road the heck out of it.When we returned it She started asking questions about the F3. In the beginning of July I traded my 14 Ultra Limited in on a Freewheeler. The next week we bought her a F3 and she is loving it. She tried 2 wheels but totaled 2 of them.She has confidence and feels comfortable on it.

 

[trikermutha]

Yeah I bet she will love every minute of the spyder..

That was one of the reasons I went with a SE when I bought my Spyder so my wife could drive it.As yet she has not wanted to drive tho when we were looking that was her first comment when she learned about the semi-auto trans.

 

[trikermutha]

The semi auto trans is a big help for me..I was tired of the pull the handle clutch shift and with my foot thing..Took some time to get use to the no handle for the brake tho..

She still loves it.

We bought the Spyder in mid February. We ride 2 or 3 time a week. We are limited to short rides, about 4 hours, due to health of an aged pet, but she has over 4200 miles on it now.

Tires are still looking good on the can-am. I have just less than 10K on the Tri-Glide and the front is looking like it needs to be watched pretty closely.

Bob, how does the Spyder ride and handle compared to the Freewheeler?

When I traded the TrIGLide I had 14000 and was getting close to replace..

I found tire pressure on the spyder to be critical to longer life too..

Spyder Ride?

Bob, how does the Spyder ride and handle compared to the Freewheeler?

I have never ridden a Freewheeler. They came out in 2015 and I bought a 2014 TriGlide in May last year. The Spyder rides a lot softer than the TriGlide so I'm told by my wife. I have moved it in and out of the garage and ridden around a parking lot a time or two just to get the hang of it in case an emergency warrants me having to ride it. She loves the 'automatic' transmission and power assist on the steering. she tried to ride the TriGlide and couldn't handle the clutch lever. It was too stiff for her and the rougher ride of the Harley caused her back problems. Of course, those problems were history once we decided to buy her a ride of her own.I can tell you that she loses 20 years off her age when she gets on it. I know this doesn't answer your question but you can tell we are both very satisfied with our trikes. The comparison I use when people on the street want a comparison is she drives a caddy and I drive a Mack truck.

One day...in the far flung off future...we may get a second trike. But I forsee it being a Stallion for my wife. Don't get me wrong, she loves the looks of the TG, but she has fibro-myalgia, and has an especially hard time with her clutch hand.

:Agree:

 

[NamVet]

Yep, we have two trikes, 2014 can am for her and 2014 Tri glide for me, but been thinking about trading mine for a Can Am in the future,

I've thought about that also. If we were to get a trailer to facilitate longer rides I would probably trade it on another Spyder. HD doesn't build a trike that is able to pull a trailer per the warrantee.

[trikermutha]

I pulled a trailer when I had the TriGlide but was out of warranty..I am up to 7200 miles of smooth riding now on the Spyder.

I still get a kick out of people in there cars taking pictures when I am out and about driving..:laugh:
