I'm seriously considering a new Tri-Glide but have reservations about handling. I rode a Harley 3 wheel service car back in the 60s and to say the least was quite an experience. I almost went over on it several times, it just wasn't designed to take curves fast. I know there have been significant improvements in 40 years but before I go put a downpayment on one I'd like to hear from owners of Tri-Glides about their performance, handling and anything else they have to say.
This is the new member area for introducing Urself, its not the best place to ask questions like this here.
Most tri's are make with touring bikes, and would be better asked in that section..

I just got back from a weeks vacation, riding my Tri-Glide with the Wife and a weeks worth of luggage through the Twistys of Arkansas and Missouri. I was very surprised at how well the tri-glide handled them. Some of the curves were marked at 40 MPH and I took them at 55 with no problems. it will take a few miles to get use to steering the trike, and not having to lean into the turns, but after you do, I think you will be quite surprised how well it does.
We've only had the Tri-Glide a couple of months now and I'm very satisfied with it.
