Road Glide 3 Finally Has New Handlebars and a Name | Our Experience Going From 2 to 3 Wheels 

I was hesitant to go to three wheels but I did it so my wife can ride with me. We both enjoy our Trike and really don’t care about what others say. As long as we are having fun, that’s all that matters. I’m glad I listen to her cause I recently started having hip problems and now I need to have hip replacement surgery. Once I recover we are going to be back on the road having fun.

I have about 58yrs under my Belt on two wheels, I am now going to be 76yrs on Nov 3,23 and I sold my last Bike 3 weeks ago and I feel like I just lost my soul! I have been thinking about 3 wheels and this thought is with me 24/7 I think I am just going to go for it and hope the good Lord gives me a few more good years of riding before I have to show up for his roll call, of which I fear NOT! Palsms 23 PS you guys are awesome, be safe and many Happy Trails.

In 2020 on a trip from the back of the dragon to Maggie Valley my wife and I laid our bike down we still had 200 miles to go to our hotel the bike had cosmetic damage but unfortunately my wife had major road rash I had minor road rash but we continued our trip my wife is a warrior when we got home I fixed the bike but I noticed my wife just didnt want to ride as much and her nerves were shot so we decided to get a tri glide this year we have no regrets I love it and my wife feels much more comfortable and that is what's important to me

I am 37... Thinking of buying an RG3 or Freewheeler. I am new to riding (currently on CanAm Ryker to learn). The reason I prefer 3 wheels is because of the stability, the fact that I can be slightly more relaxed having my wife with me and I don't care about leaning. I just love the open world experience. I hate that so many bikers refer to three wheelers as something for people of the wise age or with any kind of disability. I do think that trikes are awesome as any other bike. I get waves from Harley Riders all the time, surprisingly more than from any other riders. Trikes are great!

I'm a combat vet so tell your husband thank you for serving our country. This was a cool video. My wife is on a CanAm and I'm on a Ultra Limited with all the extra performance fixin's. I just stumbled onto your channel and I like what I saw. I'm not ready for three yet, but I'm itchin' to get my wife on a RG3.

Awesome video. Your husband's candid reasons why he switched was outstanding. Stay in the wind.

I just bought the 2023 road glide 3 Blackout version 4 days ago and I love it! We are in the Blue Ridge Mountains (West Jefferson NC) Let us know when you are here to ride!

I just bought the Road Glide 3 and her name is Big Bertha! I'm a new trike rider so I'm pretty excited!

That’s what it’s all about. Having a great time with family an friends. Thanks so much for your videos

I always enjoy your insight concerning the trikes and I really enjoyed your husband sharing his story. I personally ride both a 2020 Tri-Glide and a 2021 Road King Special. My wife does not feel comfortable on two wheels but loves to backpack on the Tri-Glide. So, I have the best of both worlds. I love them both and I'm seriously considering the Road Glide 3, which is definitely the best looking trike on the road. Also, I have hopes that my wife will bite the bullet and learn to ride the Tri-Glide on her own. No luck with that yet ! LOL But for now I love that we can spend time together on the trike and its a ton of fun. Great content keep it up.

Mothers Day and Fathers Day this year were truly a great time with the kids and motorcycles. Let us know what you think

Another awesome video. I love the energy in your videos. How great for you to share highlights of both your mother's and father's day weekends. Great ride around Beaufort.

Great video thanks

I enjoyed this video, especially for the chance to see the two bikes in different colors and on the road. I'm getting ready to buy a new Road Glide 3 and I'm still undecided about color. I don't like real flassy colors. I told myself I'd never buy a black vehicle after owning a couple and struggling to keep it scratch free. I really like your blue bike. The grey is nice but I think it's overdone with all these grey cars and trucks on the road. It seems to be a trendy color, but trendy colors get old with time. I don't think that blue will get old. And, it's a nice tone of blue - not too dark and not too light. Anyway, thanks for posting this video, and the photography was well done.

I went from a 2 wheeler to a 3 wheeler, and it is different. Still fun

Awesome video putting Mother’s and Father’s Day together! Great descriptions, and your husband hit the big talking points of the transition!! Another nice video, Melissa! Thanks for shout out in the description!! 👊🏼😎

I love the flag on your husbands bike, looks awesome :)

Great video !!

Great video. I too went to three wheels this past year for health reasons. Changing the bars was key to feeling more stable. Once settling in I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely video. Bike looks great and nice to see and hear your husband. One of the best motorcycle channels on YT and I really mean that. Keep up the good work and be safe. Jonathan 🇬🇧

Nice to see familiar roads & scenery.. Good video and great on his recovery..

Wow I never thought of naming my bike. Hmmm now you have me thinking. I guess I'll have to give that one some thought. I am also just thinking about all the hand signals that I need to learn as well. Thanks for sharing yalls stories... Keep on Rolling....

Really like the mufflers you both have installed. I put the bumper on my TriGlide and think those slip on's will look awesome. As always, really enjoy your video. Oh, I think I will adopt your idea to pray for those riders along with the greeting on the highways (excellent idea). Look forward to your next video. Blessings to you n yours!!

Great video. Thanks for sharing your perspective on moving from 2 wheels to 3 wheels.

This video is inspiring. I just got my first trike, and I'm adjusting. "Ride my own ride" is a wonderful perspective. I agree. I was in a car accident with a TBI and had to learn to walk/talk again, and I don't feel comfortable with a 2-wheeler. The trike is how I can get back on the road. Thanks for the vid! I'll keep on watching.

I was hit by a car while on my Road King. It was totaled, so when I was physically able to ride, I got a Tri Glide. I love it and have been riding it since 2018.

Thanks for your informative videos. This episode hit close to home, since I have made it to 71 years, I have lost strength in my legs and recently dropped my 2020 Heritage Classic twice in the same day. I had wrecked my Road Star back in 2016 and that made me start looking for lighter bikes since the Road Star weighed in at over 800#, hence the lighter Heritage. But because of the reduced strength and balance, I have recently been looking at trikes. I have ridden off and on since I was 14 and just can't give it up. I named my Heritage 'Mercy N Grace' because God brought me through my accident and I feel like God is always with me no matter what road I travel. Thank you and keep up the great videos.

Thanks Melissa for the handle bar review. I was going to go for the 10" bars on our 2020 Tri-Glide, but you got me thinking about the 12".

I have an Indian Challenger already and I just bought a 23 Tri-Glide Ultra. Picked it up yesterday. Got it for the same reason as others who’ve posted - to ride with my wife. She’s recovering from knee replacement surgery so it’ll be a few weeks before she can swing a leg over. Got the silver/gray model and am trying to come up with a decent name for her as well. Thanks for your videos. I’ve recently discovered your channel and have been trying to catch up 😁. Appreciate everything you put into your videos. I really like the part about saying a prayer every time you waive at another biker. That’s so awesome, I’ll need to start doing that myself. May God bless you and your family.

Beautiful bike's. Great Video.

Good video and great on his recovery.

Nice video... Stay riding as long as you can by what ever means you can as long as you can stay safe. Happy riding from Sydney Australia

Both bikes look awesome!!

Nice to see familiar roads & scenery.

Nice

Really good video. Great interview by your husband... insightful for us that have gone from 2 to 3 wheels.... the side to side feeling is completely gone for me.

love the video, love the name, love you!!!

Yeah my name is James I live in Cleveland Ohio I had a truck accident I fell off the back of a trailer and broke my hip and femur I wrote two wheels on my life I'm 67 years old and I bought a Tri Glide and I'm happy with it and I'm glad I did everybody at lots of this channel Seyfried

Thank your husband for his service

Enjoyed the video and you guys' conversation about going to three wheels. I'm 76, like your husband, been riding mostly baggers for years, and just can't quite come to the realization of what getting off 2 wheels is...LOL! The RG3 is the bike for sure and the local dealer can't keep up with demand. I just hate the price....LOL!

My wife is 5 foot 3 Inches and I think this is the perfect solution.

I finally admitted I needed 3 wheels a month ago. I purchased a new to me 2017 Tri Glide with 8,000 miles on the clock. Best decision I could’ve ever made. Riding truly is therapeutic.

It is definitely a learning curve, I constantly put my feet down when I stop, yet I did not do that on a Spyder. This video is awesome, I am in the middle of dropping by Demo test on a Trike. Good video.

Thanks for all your fun videos. I have my grey haze RG3 coming soon!! I think I may have a name for her but she’ll let me know if it’s the right one! I’m so excited.. it seems it’s taking FOREVER for her to arrive and patience is not my thing!

Thanks for this video ! I didn't start riding until I was in my 50's . Starter bike was a heritage softail classic, then went to a ultra limited. 3 months ago we bout a 2022 Tri Glide. Just so much easier for my wife and I . I miss leaning into the curves tho 😅. So glad we bout the trike . Thanks for your videos again . Ride safe , praying Gods hand of protection over you guys on your 3 wheel adventures. 🙏

Hope you and hubby have a great time riding from down under

I do agree it takes a few to get use to 3, I did like the stability of the ride not having to worry about dropping it in very tight switch backs. But.. as I mentioned when we talked at Low Country I just didn't like the way it handled the bumps which your husband mentioned. That was after replacing the rear suspension on it, and probably could have done the front and see if that would have helped but I was already thinking of trading it in by then. Leaving Friday afternoon for my 16 day trip out west. Can't wait..

Glad i ran across this video with the Rider's perspective. I'm in my early 70s and have been riding for 55 yrs both street and dirt. Due to some unexpected health issues I don't have the physical strength like before and slow/stopped balance challenges me especially with psgr. Been thinking of a trike (conversion) and hearing of both your positive outlooks is encouraging. I don't care what others think, rather how will I adapt to not counter-steering thru the twisties. Anyway good video. Just heard new HD trikes have a longer shock to give more working room to reduce solid axle bounce. My best. ALRider.

Thank y'all

I'm an identical twin, 51 year old female, and a native South Carolina girl!! I also ride a motorcycle. I've enjoyed your videos, and your husband's words about going from 2 wheels to three. I have arthritis in both thumbs, but especially in my left thumb and could no longer clutch without excruciating pain. My husband bought me the Honda Rebel 1100 dct 2 months ago, and I couldn't love her more!!! My husband rides a Harley, and we'd planned on me getting a Heritage...but, with some sadness I reconciled that if I was gonna continue to ride ( and I've only just started a yearago) I'd have to go with a dct. My Rebel is no slouch, she gets like a scalded cat!!! The cornering is wonderful...it took some getting used to not feeling like I was forgetting something. I'd check everything on the bike, all was well...then I'd realize it was the clutching that I was missing! I don't miss it anymore! I know some will say that's not a motorcycle if you're not clutching, but like your husband said, this is a motorcycle. The clutch still happens whether in automatic or in manual using "quick shift" styled paddles using my thumb and index finger on left hand. I love her!!! God bless, and ride safe!!! As long as we're still on wheels in the open air living the ride, then keep riding your ride!!!

65 and been on two wheels since a teen riding dirt bikes then transitioning to street. Went to a 2021 Tri Glide for long and or 2 up riding due to breaking my ankle skydiving then a few years later had a heavey block of metal crush it. So it occasionally just gives out from time to time and the Ultra with my wife on it got to heavy to trust that my ankle wouldn’t give out. I do have an old Fat Boy for local solo riding. Enjoy your vids and NO SHAME IN HAVING A TRIKE! Watch some🎉 of the old Biker movies and the coolest rider has what.......a servi-car!

Felicidades Melissa descubrí tu canal, muy interesantes tus videos, realmente fascinante el mundo de los Trikes, saludos desde Mexico

👍👍

I am fairly new to your site and wanted to say thanks for sharing your experiences with us. And if I may ask what what kind of camera you are using?

Melissa-MLS Twin, first I am a follower of Christ-now over 41 years 😁👍😇. 1.) You can't say that "Oil of Okay" is your beauty secret-in yruth-its "oil of Holy Ghost"! You look FABULOUS for BARELY dipping your toes into the 40's decade of life!😇👍😁. 2.) I'm 58 years old & am looking at tri-wheeler for my ride. 3.) God has been gracious to your husband as well-unless he was riding a motorcycle before he started kindergarten, he has barely touched 53/55 years of age. GREAT SKIN complection himself. Sorry if I offended house by my "morale boosting" comments!. I'll be checking out realty listings in Beaufort, SC! Doug🐻🦅🏍️😎

🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

Melissa, I am purchasing a new 2024 RG3 and test rode a little ,on the back roads..Is they're much vibration on the interstate? I haven't been on the interstate with it.I have had Harleys for over 50 years but due to my disabilities I am going to a 3 wheeler! I always enjoy your video's!

Nice to see your husband and listen to his words of wisdom. Made sense to go to 3 wheels. Much respect to him.

I’ve ridden the CanAm Spyder and the Harley Trike…..when I get to that point in my life I think I’ll opt for the Landing gear option….

Picking on you....lol....You had mentioned before the possibility of a remake of this post. I have ridden the Tri-Glide 2023....Wife really wants it for me, though we disagree on colors...lol....she doesn't ride only i do....she won't even ride with me in all these years...lol...but she, she is thinking what would another woman want to be seen on. She is 10 years my senior...bless her heart....working on the finances for this ride...going to do it...have too...drop 5...yup...time to change up. I know you are busy with the recent ride( Love Love Love the Videos) but please consider an update...especially with your husband as it was his input that made me consider a trike....Hmmm can't recall hearing his name....sorry for that....old age i guess...as you always say...God Bless & Safe Riding.... just a follower that really loves what you present

No shame or pride. You just have to do what works for you. Everyone else's opinion is useless. I'm 69 been riding since I was 16. Just traded my 22 Road King for a 23 RG3. Wife rides a 22 Triglide. Yes more stable, you have reverse and don't have worry about dropping it. Plus it's fun to ride.

I had to sell my Beautiful 2018 Electric blue Street Glide; I could no longer hold the bike up due to medical condition. I'm trying to get a Trike now.

Hi Melissa ! I have a question for you if you don't mind telling me your height if you could as I am on the short side . I'm 5' 2" and I was wondering if I would have to stretch to reach the foot controls on the Roadglide 3 and if so is there a way to move the controls closer to me or are they in a set position . I would like it if you could advise me on this short matter as were I live in Australia I'm about 600 Miles from a harley Dealership ,with thanks Ian .

Hi Melissa - Quick questions, do you have the specs for your bars. They look like Factory 47 Classics, 14 inch? Like the way they look, thank you and ride safe.

I went from a 2 wheel to 3 with a 2016 Tridglide and then later to a 2022 Triglide. The trike is ok for a short ride or a 90 minute ride on the freeway, but longer rides or rides with lots of curves leave me with neck and shoulder pain. I have stock handlebars and been planning to get taller ones. The bars are inexpensive but the installation is not. The buzz is that the stock road glide 3 is "much" lighter steering than the stock triglide. I'm unsure if it is that much different, "Over the years I have purchsed many golf clubs promising increased driving distance. At this point if the claims were true I should be hitting my driver over 300 yards and always straight......not happening." You found considerable different results in switching the handlebars, but what what about the trikes? I like the storage room on the triglide but would give it up if there was that much steering improvement on the Road glide 3,...your thoughts?

Out of curiosity, what kind of camera are you using? My wife has a youtube channel and wants to capture some footage of our rides in Santa Cruz.

Interesting.....Glad your husband added his points. My wife is after me to go to three wheels. She watched me drop my 2015 Ultra Limited Low a few times....Kinda scared her....Me too...I have a brother-in-law that has cancer. We have gone on a few rides together. Most recently the Tail of The Dragon, Diamondback with the Devils Whip. God Bless Him as we have no idea how much longer he will be able to ride or be with us. He rides a ryker now that he was forced into selling his Classic, that in no way shape or form fits him...he is 6 feet 6 inches tall....I am 6 even.....Really looking hard at getting us both a Road Glide 3.....In Your Humble Opinion..or Chucks...would the Road Glide 3 fit either of us ? Every time I go to the Harley dealer, the Road Glide 3 is sold and gone...lol...must be a good bike. I am new to your channel... enjoy what you and your sister put out...would really like your feedback...if you would

What brand handlebars do you have? Do you like 14 in better than the 12 inch. I also own a RG3. I love this bike but I need handlebars

Don’t you find tight turns with those bars a tough reach or did you move them back a bit? We got our Freewheeler in beginning of June and the sissy bar wasn’t going to be in til the end of Nov. so I cancelled, and went right to Hogworks for it and the backrest should be here end of Sept.

Keep the rubber side down and the Sunnyside shiny side up and everything will be fine on the trike

❤ my name my trike double shot after my wife she's no longer with me that's why I named it double shot

What is the name of your husband's motorcycle ? And I love what you did to your Harley is everything I would do to make it the perfect ride for me , have you ever thought about getting a small trailer to tow behind for camping ?

500🇺🇸😂👍

What size handlebars does your husband have? And how tall is he?

In all honesty, I'm mad at Harley davidson and the dealerships over the roadglide 3. I want to change the bodywork so I can make a triglide with a roadglide faring ( titled as such) I have had dealerships flat refuse to put tri glide bodywork on the roadglide 3 and I'm very disappointed in the brand as a whole over this b.s. no tour pack and lowers no purchase!.
