2019 Harley Trike Ride and Review

[@michaelwest4525]

I just took delivery of my 2019 Tri Glide 2 days ago and I love it . It took me awhile to let go of my heavily optioned 2017 Streetglide Special , but I thought it would get much more use with my wife riding with me , and my balance and strength at 77 isn’t what it used to be . Glad I did it .

[@PABeardedBiker]

Michael West I’m so glad you like it. The one I tested really surprised me with the torque and power it had. I hope you and the miss’s enjoy a lot of great miles together. Thanks for watching.

[@carrollverbeck2964]

Bought a 19 Tri-Glide in August and absolutely love it . My wife never rode with me anymore after a close call 35 years ago. She now wants to go everywhere with the trike. After getting use to it I can take corners very fast and in the straights it is no different than riding my Street Glide Special. I've had 6 Harley's and numerous other bikes in 51 years of riding and this trike is the most comfortable I've ever riden. 67 and still out in the breeze!

[@PABeardedBiker]

carroll verbeck that’s so great. I’m happy your wife is riding with you again. I’m glad she gave it another try. I’m glad you like it. Thank you so much for your comment. Happy riding.

[@sabrinagary212]

I have the exact color and love it. Very comfortable ride.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Sabrina Gary that’s awesome. They are so comfortable. I can see why a lot people are going to them. Thanks for watching. Be safe. 👍

[@wskeyson3382]

10/31/2019 I bought my TG and totally love it. Last March I went to Phoenix Az. for Arizona bike week, then headed out I 40 (66) then South on the Indian Nations Parkway (a toll road with a minimum speed limit of 65 mph and a max of 85 mph) enroute to the K River campground. An awesome journey!

[@PABeardedBiker]

Sounds like a great trip. I was at K River in 2019 cool place. Thanks for watching. Ride safe. 👍

[@budirwin9825]

Good review... Wife & I updated our trikes last year mostly because of heat problems, however the performance is much better too. We had '10 & '11 Triglides & upped to '18 Anniversary Triglides. The heat is still there but way cooler. Wife put ez-steer on hers making it feel like powersteering. Very happy with these trikes, we lost some of the dance over many yrs. on 2wheelers,but still in the wind. They are a blast to ride.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Bud Irwin that’s all that counts man. Having your knees in breeze is what it’s all about no matter what you’re on. I’m glad you liked the video and I’m happy you both like your new rides. I would like to try the steering assist mechanism. That would really help on that bike. Thanks for watching. Be safe. PABB

[@budirwin9825]

BB The ez-steer we bought thru champion motortrikes. Triple trees are raked out & tubes dropped down 2". Makes the front end look better too. It's very responsive so at first it took some getting used to. She can go around bends easily with no effort. Being '18 models the air shocks suck. Put pro gas shocks on mine so now it will squat a little powering thru bends. The '19s have gas shocks so they probably ride much better. Riding into mid/late 60's smiling

[@PABeardedBiker]

Bud Irwin awesome man. Have fun. Both of you.

[@painsrides]

I heard the full-dresser trikes don't let the engine heat out of the cockpit area very well and its gets excessively hot, especially on the legs. You didn't mention this, but I was wondering if you felt any heat build during the test ride?

[@PABeardedBiker]

PaiN's RIdes I didn’t notice any excessive heat. I was probably riding it for 30 to 45 minutes. I have noticed heat issues on some other brands of bikes but not this one. Thanks for watching and great question. 👍

[@budirwin9825]

The watercooled m8 is way cooler than older models. I updated for that reason & happy I did. Our older trikes were hot, when pulling in I'd get off quick. When stuck in traffic it was miserable.

[@steved4757]

Do you adjust your rear shocks when riding two up with the Mrs? It makes a huge difference. Friends would always pick on me for adjusting my rear shocks all of the time. I could make the suspension feel the same from solo to two up riding.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Steve D I hear ya. I just keep mine adjusted out the whole way. I think I need new ones because they still bottom out. Maybe I just need to lose weight. Lol

[@steved4757]

@@PABeardedBiker I have a set of almost new rear shocks for a sportster. You are welcome to them if you want..... I don't have a bike they will fit on anymore.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Steve D thanks man. My suspension doesn’t bottom out all the time. My wife has a spinal chord issues so when we hit a hard bump it drives her nerves crazy. I really appreciate it though.

[@georgewilson1184]

I like these only way for me to go I have a disability that color combo I really dig

[@PABeardedBiker]

george wilson they are an awesome machine. I was quite pleased with it. I think it’s the best of both worlds. With two wheels in the back it’s stable but having the one wheel in front you still feel like you’re riding a two wheeler. I loved that color combo too. Thanks for the comment. Be safe. 👍

[@CAROLINAWILDMAN]

Nice looking bike. Love the color. Sounds like it rides good. Not quite ready for a trike just yet but maybe one day. Ride safe

[@PABeardedBiker]

Fedex Guy me too man. When I get older this bike will definitely be on my short list. Thanks for watching.

[@dj5472]

It also eliminates the embarrassment of dropping your bike just when everyone happens to be watching! Lol

[@PABeardedBiker]

DJ thats for sure. All you have to watch out for is the large back end. She’s pretty wide. Lol

[@dionmoore879]

was the price a 10 out 10 as well?

[@PABeardedBiker]

Dion Moore lol, the price was higher than I’m willing shell out right now. I think it was in the mid 30,000’s. Great bike if you want to switch from 2 to 3 wheels. Thanks for the comment. Be safe. 👍

@@PABeardedBiker as I'm in my 59th yr. I am looking into triking. So I can still take the Mrs. along with confidence. Before I take the high dollar plunge . I found a bargain on a Voyager kit. and attached it to my GL1500. Driving it for a while to see if Trikes are the really the way I want/need to go. So far so good, But, no quite sold just yet.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Dion Moore I hear ya. They have their advantages and disadvantages. My advice would be to go to a dealer and test ride one with you and your wife on it. Also try out the CanAm Spyder. A guy I work with has the full dresser version of the Spyder and loves it. That would be another option. 👍

[@wskeyson3382]

Re: reverse, al park nose up hill so that you don't have to go up hill backwards.

[@shakeypainter2]

Enjoyed the ride along brother...I really fell like trikes don't get a fair shake. I know I sure luv mine and it will scoot. The stock suspension ain't bad, but I've been told that legend Suspensionis is the different of night and day on them...ride safe ✌

[@PABeardedBiker]

Shakey thanks for watching Shakey. I really enjoyed my test ride on the trike. I thought the power was great. I didn’t really notice the suspension so much. Probably because it was so much better than my Sporty. Lol

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Nice demo ride. Seemed like you like it to me. I've never ridden a trike, not sure I ever will. Enjoyed seeing you out on it.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Dbest1a’s Ride thanks man. I did enjoy riding it. It had lots of power and handled pretty good. If you get a chance try one out you will probably like it. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@CDLNEPA]

Exit 13. 😁 That section of 86 hasn't had any work done on it yet. I am very surprised HD hasn't done the electric windshield.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Christopher David Lawson of NEPA the Road wasn’t too bad and the bike handled it great. I too am surprised and somewhat disappointed they don’t put an electric windshield on their machines.

[@lexkantoor6514]

What cost the Harley drie Wheeler please lex kantoor. Holland amsterdam

Minus 3 points for riding with bird doodie on the windshield.

[@jdreyno1958]

Thanks for the video. I have always wondered about a trike in turns. Obviously there is no lean.

[@PABeardedBiker]

James Reynolds they also make a steering stabilizer for the trikes that makes it easier to steer. I heard that it helps. I liked it a lot. If you have the opportunity I recommend taking a test ride. Be safe and stay healthy. 👍

[@TheGearedRaven72]

I see a trike in your future!! Sounds like you really liked it and if it’s that comfortable im sure your wife will love it too.

Did look like a bit of jostling when you were on uneven roads

[@PABeardedBiker]

fourteenfour thanks for the comment. There was a little. I think I needed to get used to the steering. Especially going around turns. They say a steering stabilizer helps that a lot. Be safe. 👍

[@triketacular8093]

My Wife and I really enjoy our 2014 HD Tri-Glide. You probably noticed, riding on the interstate, the sensation was basically the same as riding a two wheeled motorcycle. Only going through the curves, one needs to muscle the handlebars a bit, similar to a ATV. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels.

[@PABeardedBiker]

Triketacular well said. It did feel like a two wheeler except through the curves. I found that a short turn at low speeds weren’t bad but like you said you do have to muscle it a little sometimes. It’s a wonder Harley hasn’t added a power steering device yet. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Just about any modern day bike will ride better than a Sportster. The trike does have a touring chassis.
