I am now officially a Gold Wing Owner and a Triker - and I love it.
A little history - I have two Harleys - a 2002 Lowrider and a 2006 Heritage classic. I love them both and rode about 10K last year, but my wife won't ride on a two wheeler - and it’s not just my riding!
So we were in an H-D dealership just before Christmas and she goes over to a Triglide and says - Now if you had one of these, I'd ride with you. So…
I did my research and decided a two cylinder air-cooled engine was not the optimum package, and decided to buy a wing. And so it goes.
Bought my 2008 ABS two weeks ago with 850 miles on it. Last Saturday drove it to my installer to have a Hannigan kit installed - Coach Rice Trikes in Loganville, GA - 65 miles in intermittent slush and ice (almost lost it on the last turn with slush and ice buildup and hurrying too much because of some a** h*** on my butt).
Picked it up yesterday and it is beautiful - with just less than 1000 miles. The attached photos are before, in-progress and after. Can't say enough good about Jack Rice and his crew - professional, full of information and they treat you and your trike better than some people treat their kids.
Thanks to all who have posted valuable experience and information on this site and other Wing and Trike sites - invaluable in my decision making.
I would not have found the wing or not have learned so much about wings and installers if it was not for the vast amount of information I received. And a couple of PM's that were invaluable.
I'm a member of the HD forum and I look forward to greater participation on this forum.
