Hi everyone! I live just north of Chattanooga, TN in a small community called McDonald. My hubby just bought me (with my approval) a 2010 HD Street Glide Trike. I am just learning to ride and took the MSF at the end of March, got my certificate and got my endorsement 3 weeks later. I was riding a 2009 FXDL. A beautiful bike and I was coming along great. I dropped the bike coming to a stop and hurt my elbow. Had to wait several weeks before I could get back on due to not having the grip I need for the clutch. My hubby became very concerned that I might get into a situation and panic and get hurt on the Dyna. He expressed his concern to me and although I really wanted to ride on two wheels, I agreed with him. I too felt that it would take several summers of riding before I would be road savvy enough to take any trips. I am 64 years old and didn't want to give up that much time. Monday we bought the Street Glide Trike and I practiced yesterday. It was so much easier and within 20 minutes I was riding my hubby around the parking lot. I practiced the reverse today in our driveway and tomorrow one more day in the parking lot and I will ride hubby home! I really like the trike and when I sell some things on ebay, I will do some mods! I want led lights!:D
 
You GO, Girl!!!! The Street Glide trikes are beautiful, and you will have such a great time with that trike :D
 
Get some miles under your belt and don't look back. When you get comfortable you will ride circles around everyone.
 
Welcome to TT from Va. Love those Street Glides. Have fun and from someone that came from two wheels last year to a TriGlide......you won't be sorry for a minute! Just think, no worries about gravel driveways and parking lots. That was my main concern on two wheels.
