Time To Say Goodbye My Fellow FLTRUSE Owners....
« on: September 10, 2013, 09:45:30 PM »
Yes, after 17,000+ miles on my CVO Road Glide Ultra it`s time to move on. Since I do mostly 2 up riding with the BSR I'm gonna jump into 'Trike Land`.

It`s been fun my friends.....  :(

There have not yet been any CVO Tri Glides... but there's always hope! You don't have to leave!

However, if you are going to a trike, the best trike-specific forum out there is http://TrikeTalk.com.

Our own Mr. Wizard is a mod there... just don't tell him you know me!

Jerry don't leave, more of us will be switching to a trike in the next few years. I have started
looking. As we age and still want to ride, a trike may fit the bill.
Good Luck.

Ever drove one? There is a reason HD dropped them in favor of the trike! I have a friend who bought
one and he said it's really bad on the highway in the wind, and wishes he would have bought a trike instead.

just convert yours into a trike, sell the take off parts on E-bay and recoup $1500.00 to 2500.00 for the back half of the bike.

Thanks for the kind words. I will still lurk around on here. This is by far THE BEST and most informative motorcycle forum around. I truly mean that. No attitudes...just good people.

I was seriously thinking about converting my Road Glide to a trike. I love the color and features. But when you run down the improvements the MOCO has made on the 2014 models...it just doesn't make sense.

My wife and I just completed a 1700+ mile, 10 day trip a few weeks ago and I learned something: Worrying about roads and weather conditions on a fully loaded 2 wheeler WITH a passenger just ain`t fun. Too much stress. So, it`s time too add a third wheel. Gotta say I'm looking forward to a little less worry and hopefully a little more comfort for my BSR of 31+ years. I will post some pics when the new 'toy' arrives. Be safe on the mean streets my friends.......  ;)

Jerry... We will look forward to pics and stories about your 2014 Tri Glide.. and the adventures you experience on it.

On a trike, you won't have to be concerned about any of that... you can just ride and have new adventures!
