New to forum but not new to Harley Davidson Motorcyles,
I have been riding now legally for over 30 years on two wheelers and riding Harley Mortorcyles now for quite a few of these years. I had knee surgery a few years back on the right knee and find as time goes buy the Road King or the bigger Harley bikes are a little hard on the knee two up sometimes but things are still managble. With that said I have wanted a Harley Trike since they came out even before the knee issue or sugery because I thought they were just plain cool but the wife was not quite there yet. Also we or she was put off by the cost of a Tri Glide verses a top line two wheeled Harley Motorcycle such as the Road King, Street Glide and so on. We love the touring bikes but our style does not support the Ultra platform.
Now at 51 years old and the knee issue as we get ready for our next Harley purchase the wife is starting to see the light. She does not want a Tri Glide nor do I at this time as we like the Road King style best and have come to this conclusion after owning several diffrent Harley models over the years. The new Freewheeler looks like it is going to be the perfect fit for us on this next purchase ( will take me back to my Big Wheels when I was a kid, boy the things we did on those. Lol ).
We hope to purchase in October of this year 2015 a few months out but this will allow for a big down payment on a new Freewheeler and all adjustments will have been made to the buget for the new purchase. We look forward to getting into the Harley Trike seen and I have enjoyed reading the information on this forum. Like Srewball said I tend to be more a no frills guy and feel again the Tri Glide would be a little much and think again the Harley Freewheeler will be just right for our style as well as our style of riding.
Any feedback or sugestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You All And Ride Safe,
Bill G
