Howdy from God's Country, SW ND (about 3 hrs north Rapid City, so we go down and ride the Black Hills fairly often). I've been riding since 1978. Owned a 2008 Heritage Softail the last 12 years. Decided to sell it as my wife can't comfortably do miles on 2 wheels anymore, and bought a beautiful 2017 Tri Glide Ultra with only 4500 miles on it. The owner bought it new in 2017 and gradually quit riding it as his arthritis got worse.
He didn't bother to learn the bike, he just rode it. The only things he knew how to operate were the ignition, parking brake, and radio. He didn't know the shocks were air adjustable (they had 0 air pressure, I put 50PSI in), never used the cruise control, and had no idea what the security system PIN was. What he did do was keep it in immaculate condition, it looked like it just came off the showroom floor.
I've never been on a trike before, have put about 500 miles on in the last couple weeks. I've found it's a whole 'nother animal, particularly on the curves. I've read and seen conflicting advice on how to handle curves and I'm still figuring that aspect out. So I'm here to learn as much as I can about how to ride, feed, and care for my Glide...
