veteran harley rider goes to three wheels

Me to!!!

Been riding for 48 years and had my lifetime dream, the ultimate ride a 19 CVO Road Glide. After 18,000 miles on it my wife and I just didnt feel comfortable any more. So I turned 70 and traded the CVO in on a Triglide. After having it a week finally we finally got to ride today. Think I am going to like it!!! Wife is happy also. It seems to be geared low. 80-85 the cvo just cruised. Maybe need to slow down anyway. Wonder how much taller tires would help?

I swapped my 205X65x15 for 205X70R 15's really like the change dropped 300 rpms in 6th. It took the high rpms out of each gear and did not hurt the low end torque

I think you will be happy with the Triglide. I just bought a 20 model this year and I think I should’ve done it 10 years ago I just bought it in July and have 9000 miles on it and I can’t get enough of it. Congratulations on your purchase.

Hello everyone, I have been riding 2 wheels for over 50 years and because I no longer trust my knee not embarrassing me at a red light I purchased a 2016 Tri Glide and I’m now looking forward to warmer weather and enjoying the freedom afforded to those who love the wind in their faces.

Congrats Jim welcome aboard

Thanks to all for the welcome. Think I may try the taller tires. Looks like front sprocket change would be a lot of work
