    Default Back in the 3 wheel saddle again!

    I'm on three wheels again. Got my first Spyder for my wife back in '09. It put too much heat on her legs, even with all the suggested modifications. We sold it. When we moved to Alabama, I bought a 14 RT Limited and added tons of lighting and Lamonster handlebar risers. Sold it a year later because my wife still loes the harley sound. Went through three Harleys and a Harley trike (hated it!) before getting my final Spyder, and 15 RT Limited. Can't find a Lamonster handlebar riser for it! Wife accepts that I'm too old for a Harley dressser with her on the back now that I'm 79!

    Welcome back. Glad to hear you are three wheeling again. This is the year that I am also giving up two wheeling. At 75, I don't feel safe holding my 700# machine up. My left leg goes weak at all the wrong times.

    I will be sticking with my F3's.

    '73 here. 4 years ago I decided I couldn't do the HD baggers anymore, and bought a 2016 TriGlide. Very nice tourer, but hard on the shoulders, since no counter steering. Am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2018 T3-L as soon as the Harley is sold. Getting old aint' for wimps.

    That was a typo. I WILL be sticking with my F3's. Just caught it before reading your prompt. Thank you for catching it.
