Well we are very close to pulling the trigger on 2014 Mysterious Red & Blackened Cayenne Trike. It's scary since I haven't ridden one before. I have studied this site and a few others so I sort of know what to expect at first. We are trading in our Heritage and 883 so we are going from 2 wheels to 3 in a hurry. We are looking forward to riding "together" so that part of it is a plus. I will keep all of you updated and how we are doing. If you ride where the deer are like we do, keep an eye out and ride safe.
Just about ready to pull the Trigger

You won't regret your decision to come to the brotherhood. Plus your wife will enjoy just sitting back and watching. Then again, she may just want to take it out herself for bread and eggs.
Welcome Timbrr. Enjoy that new trike. It might take a couple hundred miles to get used to. When turning, pull with one hand and push with the other. Forget "counter-steering". You don't need to put your feet down anymore (watch the rear wheels). And pay attention at gas pumps. It will handle kind of like an ATV. And have plenty of fun.
Welcome from Kent Island Md, you will love it, I know I do.

Welcome from Central VA. You'll wonder why you didn't go to three sooner. ThumbUp
Welcome to Trike Talk, from S/W Ohio.
Welcome to the site.
You will love it...as my wife said "who needs a car".
Welcome from Perry Hall, MD. I just purchased my first trike a few weeks ago. Got over 1000 miles on it already! Just take it easy in the turns and spend some time on it alone before adding the BSR. I will warn ya, it is a completely different feel than your 2 wheeler. Just be patient...and enjoy. Good Luck!

Welcome to Trike Talk from northeast MA. I purchased the exact same trike about 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it!!!! You will not regret your decision. Take it nice and slow the first few times you drive it, mostly back roads will help alot to get comfortable with the feel of it as it is a different riding experience. Get a couple of hundred miles under your belt and you will wonder why it took you so long to get a trike!!
JUST DO IT! I was out riding my H-D Tri-Glide on this beautiful Michigan evening when I realized I haven't felt this empowered in years!
Welcome from Northern California and ride safe and enjoy.
Welcome from Idaho.....enjoy the ride:wave4:
So Cal welcomes you. Not sure why you are upgrading from 2 to 3 wheels, but ride it in good health!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.It sounds like we have made the right decision. My trip home should be interesting because I will be on a 2 lane hiway and then on the Interstate the rest of the way. Oh well sometimes jumping in with both feet is the way to go. The dealer doesn't have a delivery date yet so I'll be in touch when we are ready to go.
Wife and I love the trike..you guys will also! Have fun.....be safe!
I was just wondering, I see you have alot of goodies on your trike.
Did you ever changed the Cam and if so, to what size and if you haven't,
no complaints without a cam?? just wondering...:Coffee:
Hello timbrr and welcome to the website from the U.P. of Michigan. I like to advise new trike riders to set up two traffic cones, or any small rubber obstacle, approximately 50 feet apart and practice figure 8s around the cones. The idea is to get used to the extra wide rear end, and on both sides. Once you get good at that distance, move the cones 10ft closer. Good luck, ride safe, post often.
The best accessory that I added was passenger armrests for the wife with a drink holder. She drinks her diet coke and is happy. She loves the trike. Hope your wife does also.
Speaking of trial by fire. Wife was hit with a rare form of cancer. After months of physical therepy she could walk again, and hold things in her hands. We traded her '08 Deluxe for an 09 Tri-Glide. Even though there is a dealer 4 miles from our house, we bought her tri at Antelope Valley Harley 43 miles away. Her first ride was to take her new Tri home. Very twisty 2 lane through the canyons, then 6 lane freeways. She had 1000 miles on her Trike over a 4 day weekend, had it serviced and we rode to Las Vegas. MY WIFE HAS GUTS!.
Sounds like a real trooper Steve. Buy the way I came through your parts on the way back from Palm Springs. I will still say that if I were going to move south your area would be on my short list.

We are getting closer on the deal for the Trike. They had one in black and we went and tried that out. I'm going to stick with my 1st choice for color even if we have to wait awhile longer. Since I'm in Sales I will cave on a price for the trades and the extra's we want. My wife is a much better wheeler-dealer than I am so she is getting the final price. This should be good.
Hello Timbrr and welcome to the website from the U.P. of Michigan. I hope we will get to see you riding your new scoot, of nothing else, in pictures. Ride safe, when you get it.
It sounds like that is the only color combo selling?
Enjoy your new ride. I picked up a 14 TriGlide in Blackened Cayenne Sunglo last month,
I love it and so does the wife!

I have news:The Harley Shop called to tell me that our Trike will be built in February.
Looks like a fun Summer ahead.

Watch out for gas pump islands!
Most of us are careful about hitting things [gas pumps] etc. when were away from home, at least for me, I knew I was going to get a scratch on my 2013 T/G at some time, well when I was turning around in my drive way yesterday I did not notice my son left his pickup three feet back from normal, I was in a hurry, and almost cleared his lt. rear bumper, anyway I got a three scratch on my lt. rear fender, I got most of it out with rubbing compound and wax, It was all my fault for not paying att. even though I wanted to blame it on my son.
I'm kinda glad it happened in a way, I knew I was going to get a scratch at some time, and I learned a lot from it.
It's easy to be careful when your out and about, the danger lurks when your home and your guard drops.
at least now I don't have to worry about when I'm going to get my 1st scratch.
