I suggest you recover your ***** from your wifes purse. Take them immediately to the Harley Dealer. Purchase a brand new Street Glide. Ride it to the grocery store. Go in and buy a big juicy steak. Ride the bike home. Rev it up loudly as you pull up. Take the steak out...walk in...toss the steak on the counter. Say "cook me some steak woman"
Go into the den and sit in your chair. Don't say a word about the bike. She will either cook the steak....or come at you with a knife.

Here's the scenario...
I used to ride before I met my wife.
We've been together for 20 years.
Her first husband was killed while riding.
I've been wanting to get back on the saddle the last two years...just turned 50... and Harley's are looking pretty sweet these days.
A while back she agreed to go to one of the Harley dealers...That was a victory...
She was patient and let me look, but the only one she said OK to was the Tri Glide. I'm like what...That's not cool enough for me! (Please don't flame) I was't buying that day anyways...but there as a glimmer of hope.
That was then, not sure where her head is now.
I'm more warm to the Tri now, but what do you guys think?
I know this is the Tri section/thread and will get positive Tri votes, but as a first Harley What do you guys think?
Cheers,
Bill

no bad habits to break
At least you won't have any bad habits to break, the trikes are fun to ride, will out corner most two wheeled bikes, and are much safer. Sand, gravel, and dirt roads are no problem for a Triglide. I have had two trikes and have loved both of them. I am crying now as I have mine up for sale but the health is bad.

Max, like others have said, just go and try one at demo-days and/or rent one some weekend or during the week while on vacation (usually better rates on weekdays) I can almost guarantee your wife will love the ride and the security back there behind you. Mine sure does! Any dealer you find that rents bikes and trikes would be more than happy to find one to fit your needs.My wife has fallen asleep on back because of the comfort. Yes it is a different animal all together, but odds are you will love it. Best of luck with your decision.
