good article,don't know if I could ride one though.

[REGGAB]

I'll tell ya this...........if it comes down to it, and a trike is the only way I can continue to ride...............Thump's gonna get an extra wheel.

[Hugh Janis]

I'd do it too.  It's better than giving up.  Do they lean?

One of our chapter members switched out his Ultra for a Trike this year , he's almost 70 and  not very tall , and realized it was just too much to deal with. His wife couldn't be happier and I'll tell ya , he has NO problem keeping up.  When the time comes , I'd gladly go with a trike , especially the leaner type before I'd give up riding.

I ain't lookin' for it either..........but if it keeps my knees in the breeze, so be it!  Wonder how Thumper would look with a matching SC?  That'd be cool!

Yep, never say never!  If it comes down to a trike or a sidecar and that's the only way we can ride ... need I say more?

What?  You wouldn't trike the springer first?   

[napalm]

Ain't nothing wrong with a Trike...my wife rides one & I worry alot less with her on three wheels instead of two.  Gets her on her own wheels!!!!

No lean really in most, they kind of square the corners from what I've seen.

Harley Davidson Leaning Trike Patent Application
June 1st, 2007 by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider"

Here’s something a bit different from the Motor Company, it’s a patent application from Harley Davidson for a leaning trike. It’s looks like a cross between the Can-Am Spyder and the Brudeli 625 but it is distinctively Harley with the big twin power plant in there. Whether they are thinking of producing this or something similar, they probably wanted to get the paperwork in to make sure they were covered. Filed on either September 27, 2006 or April 5, 2007, I can’t figure out which dates apply, reading patent paperwork can be a bit confusing.

From the application:

The present invention relates to a suspension system for a three-wheeled vehicle. The suspension system permits the vehicle to lean while cornering, much like a motorcycle. This is accomplished via hydraulic actuators that force the bike into a leaning position while turning, and back to an upright position while tracking a straight line. A transverse beam is coupled to the hydraulic actuators and to spring dampers to allow the suspension to operate independently, even while the vehicle is cornering.
