Hi guys,
I'm new to this site and would like to introduce myself. I'm 73 yrs. old and I've had two knee replacements in 2013 which pretty much ended my riding after 43 years ( I couldn't backup my road glide on an incline to park it) so I thought that was it. This one Saturday in the
Hartford Courant they featured the newly released 2015 Freewheeler. I went to the dealers the following week and there it was, in Briliant
Blue, ( my favorite color) . I took it out for a test ride in March and loved it. I traded my Road Glide in and after some custom work at the dealers, I rode it home. That was to be my last trike at 73 now, how much farther could I ride,or so I thought.
When they introduced the 2023 Road Glide 3 with the 114 engine I had to have it (in bright billiard blue). It'll be here in two weeks and I'm looking forward to it. My wife loves to ride with me so the extra torque and horse power is what I'm looking for.
My Mantra in life at this age is "If Not Now, When". I put my kids thru collage and helped with their homes, now it's my turn (I'll be damn'ed if I'm gonna leave my money to my wife's next boyfriend). I have a question for you guys, I had Vance & Hines twin slash mufflers on my Freewheeler and liked the sound and performance.
my buddies are telling me to go with Rineharts this time, I want to do my custom work before I take it out from the dealers. They say it's a better performing muffler. Any advice from anyone? I love trikes and wouldn't go back. My favorite saying when people ask how I like it is: When four wheels are to many, and two wheels are to few"
