What was it you didn't like about the ride perspective of it Gary?

Looks aside, I'm curious as to how you felt about that aspect of the trike.

counter steering into the cure is a bit rought
Your first few times out on a trike can feel spooky
It you want to feel something really strange try one of those back wards trikes called a canam spider takes a minute to get use too

What's everyones' opinion of the new Harley
Tri-Glide Ultra-Classic? I heard Lehman Trikes was contracted to design/build them for HD. Pricey little buggers but nice non-the-less. Reverse gear is "optional". Could you imagine pushing one of these beasts backward out of a parking spot?

I think 1964 was last factory trike of Hd till now.
Lehamn has been the default builder for them a long time they just made it offical now.
I do not think I have ever seen a trike that was not pricey
Reverse is not a option in the real world.
They look sharp well made but not form yet.
Hoping to hold out on the trike a few more years.
The ones that impress me are some of the sporty trikes I have seen

My Big Sister (she's 67 years young) rides a Suzuki 1800 Lehman conversion. It's got a Ford Pinto rear end in it I believe I remember her saying as Ronnie had to get a new gearset as it was geared WAY to high.

I hope they didn't put a Pinto gas tank on it

Wow, remembering the ol' Pinto...man-o-man, made me think way back in 1978 losing two co-workers in a rear end collision, they were stopping on an off ramp and following car hit them hard; was the toughest day at work I can remember...

On a lighter note, I like the bike Smitty had on his post...it looked lighter, sportier & "all of one piece" (like a work of art). The standard HD version looks nice, but a bit too "bulky" & fenders look like an afterthought; the 2nd one just looks like an "add-on" which functionally probably works great, but visually...UGLY...even tarted up with all the lights & bling!

When I was a toddler, the first bicycle I rode had stabilisers too.
