Hi all! Just a note to introduce myself. I'm a new trike rider, well almost. I'm buying a 2012 Harley Tri Glide Ultra this week. Selling my 95 Harley Electra Glide Police bike that I got when my husband (NorthGeorgiaHawg) passed down to me when he bought his new CVO Screamin Eagle Street Glide in August. Prior to that I had 2 Yamaha Stars (a 650 & 1100). I've been getting tired of wrestling that big thing around tight corners and scared to death of gravel! I met a gal on a ride this past Sunday with a new Tri Glide and she said she had felt the same way I did and almost gave up riding until she got the Trike. She said THAT changed everything and now she's lovin the road again. Have a couple of dealers we're talking to and hope to get something pretty quick. Can't wait!

I would love to hear from any of you about trikes and what you like best about them!
 
Welcome and good luck with the buy. After hundreds of thousands of miles I switched last year to a '10 Tri-Glide and love it. Didn't want to get a lighter bike due to high mileage riding. This seemed like a good option. Lot's of fun. Give yourself at least 500 miles to get used to it.
 
Welcome Mary! I've already figured out your hubby is a nut...... just sayin' you are likely a saint!!! :D LOL :D
You are going to love the trike.

Welcome NorthGeorgiaButterfly! :wave4: Do I know you?

Small correction: They way I heard it, it's your thoughtful, caring, and loving HUSBAND :Joker3: who is buying YOU a 2012 Tri Glide Ultra this week... for Christmas, no less! :Santa:

The thing I like best about trikes is that YOU will be ON one soon, and off we'll go! ThumbUp

BTW - stay clear of that "Mr.Wizard" character... I think he has it in for me...
 
Did the dirty deed yesterday at Killer Creek... 2012 Tri Glide Ultra in Vivid Black and Diamond Ice! Merry Christmas, NGB!!! :Santa:

What a GREAT bunch of people they are there at Killer... Highly recommended! ThumbUp

Poor NGB won't actually have it here to play with 'til late Friday though. I was going to have them deliver it today, but all it's rainy and nasty here... so I'm having them give "Beyonce" the whole MEGA-BLING treatment at the Killer Creek Styling Salon.

Let's see... December house payment... BLING... December house payment... BLING... BLING WINS!
 
Thanks all! I'm soooo excited to get my trike! It is supposed to be nice on Friday (highs in the mid 50's) so I will be able to go pick it up and drive home. It is going to be awesome! My hubby is the BEST!
 
Pick her up today! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

It's gonna take a WEEK to get Beyonce totally blinged out... but here are a few pics of what I've managed to get on her so far... Mary seems quite pleased, and got to show her off to our riding buds yesterday.

Everyone was giving me grief for not riding... you know... BSR! I will at some point... leave the driving to Mary, throw a bunch of beers in a cooler in the trunk, sit back and relax, mess with the radio, take pictures of everything, have a beer or three at every stop... and basically annoy the HECK out of everybody! They'll never want me to do THAT again... :LordHelp:

Sorry for the crappy picture quality... took 'em with my iPhone in the garage. Will get better pics with the good camera in the sun this week.

I'M BLINDED!!!!! Now that is some bling ...... I see what Wiz was talking about :D
 
He's only put a small portion of the purchased bling on as of today. A week he says... HA. That's funny right there, don't care who you are.

Once all the bling is on it comes to me so I can play.

OH YEAH, BABY! We all know how much Wiz likes to play on three wheels..

Maybe we ought rethink cams for this Wild Woman, Wiz... 'specially since Mary hit 90 in no time on the freeway yesterday... :AGGHH: JUST SAYIN' !!! Whaddya think???

Heh heh heh... I'm sure you're correct again, Wiz... Mary'll get in enough trouble on Beyonce, without adding CAMS in the mix!

I'd love to see her run off and leave some of our local riding crew in her wake though... now THAT would be funny! :Trike1:

I'm sure she will be able to out run me, but don't worry, you'll be eating her dust too. :p
