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

- Part of the goal for our channel is to promote everyone riding the ride that works for them. If it is time to give up 2 wheels, how about considering going to 3 wheels. Melissa's husband shares his feelings about his experience of needing to go from 2 to 3 wheels.
Mothers Day and Fathers Day = Family and Motorcycles.

In this video, Melissa also shares the new parts that are added to the motorcycle (finally) -- new handle bars, mufflers and heated hand grips--and she shares why she names her motorcycles and what that name of her new motorcycle is.
@donniewieburg (video where he shares his wave at other motorcyclists: • 2023 Road Glide 3 - We... )
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.
That is awesome that you can ride... and I totally agree that it does not matter what others think as long as we love what we are doing. Yes, three wheels keeps us out there. For me, I can go by myself without fear of dumping a two wheel and not be able to get it back up on my own.
That’s right! Enjoy your ride. Your enjoyment is not to be determined by others.
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.
Thank you! Yes...understand ... once motorcycle riding is in your blood it is there to stay. God Bless You!
Awesome video. Your husband's candid reasons why he switched was outstanding. Stay in the wind.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have to find the time to get caught up on your GREAT how to videos. In Fact, I will have to reference you in a future video because I love your tips and tricks. ANYBODY READING THIS....PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GO OVER TO @SANDMANRIDES4318 AND CHECK OUT HIS CHANNEL. HE HAS SOME GREAT VIDEOS ON 3 WHEEL MOTORCYCLES. Thank you again, for watching! God Bless you.
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 was not with my husband for his accident but it took 3 years and a Triglide to get me back out. I am glad we did.
Stay safe out there and keep the great videos coming, and thank your family members for their service .I'm hoping with our tri glide we can keep the memories and rides going.
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.
Agree, the RG3 is the best looking 3 wheel option. I hope your wife will learn to ride, I am so glad I ride...there is nothing like the freedom and since of power out on the open road it provides. If she can snuggle up to you and that makes her happiest, then that is OK too...just doing something together that you love is so important. God Bless you... stay safe out there and Thanks so much for watching.
That’s what it’s all about. Having a great time with family an friends. Thanks so much for your videos
I appreciate you watching and for sharing. Agree...great times with family and friends are so important. I love creating these videos and plan to continue as long as the good Lord lets me. God bless you!
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.
Totally agree. I still love those handle bars. Rode 4100 miles in September and had no back or shoulder pain.
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 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.
That is great to hear you were able to get back out on the road and found what you love. Stay safe and God bless you.
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.
Wow, congratulations on the 23 Tri-Glide...so happy for you! Yep, after my husbands accident, I said NOPE to 2 wheels and would never ride with him again on one (and I used to own my own 2 wheels). The trike was such a great option. So comfortable and easy to relax on. It did not take me long to take it over though LOL... Yes, I am so glad @donniewieburg shared that about using the motorcycle wave to pray for others. Not quite sure why I never thought about that before; we all need prayer and especially those out on those crazy roads. Anyway, maybe we can start a thing with that.... spread the word. God bless you and safe riding out there!! Wish I could see pictures of that new Triglide of yours.
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.
Thank you. Enjoyed these two weekends for sure.
Great video thanks
Great video !!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch.
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".
Yes, I like the looks and feel of the 14s the best. When I got the 12s on the red trike, it was fine, but I was kind of missing the 14s. Either one works great. I do not think 10s would be much better than the stock to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share and watch. God Bless you.
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!! 👊🏼😎
Marine, RG3 and CZcams Content Creator... cannot help but want others to see your channel, Donnie. Safe riding out there and enjoy all those events that are keeping you out there riding. Praying for your safety.
@@MidLifeStyleTwins we’re one big happy family, Melissa! Appreciate the support and prayers!! ❤️😎🙏🏼
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 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I love riding my motorcycle, I love the adventures it creates, and I love the creativity and sharing in these videos. I am so glad you enjoy it. More to come! God bless you!
I went from a 2 wheeler to a 3 wheeler, and it is different. Still fun
Enjoy your ride. Thank you for watching.
Nice to see familiar roads & scenery.. Good video and great on his recovery..
Thank. you so much for watching.
I love the flag on your husbands bike, looks awesome :)
Thanks. Appreciate you watching.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your perspective on moving from 2 wheels to 3 wheels.
Thanks so much for watching.
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!!
Thanks @donniewieburg for starting a trend! We could all use some of those prayers for safety while out on the road. Yeah, I love the looks of those mufflers (did not know how it would turn out and trusted my husband's suggestion). Thanks. Next video as usual is in the works. God bless you!
Good video and great on his recovery.
Thank you
Beautiful bike's. Great Video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment.
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.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is stories like yours that makes what we do and share so worth it. One of the guys in my husband's VMC (Veterans Motorcycle Club) is a doubt amputee due to injuries when he was deployed overseas. He did not give up riding and now has a customized Triglide. So happy to see he can still ride. God Bless you and Safe riding out there. (See him in this video czcams.com/video/6fZU6UsXYdQ/video.htmlsi=PaZmtAiylSzO4sze).
Mothers Day and Fathers Day this year were truly a great time with the kids and motorcycles. Let us know what you think
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....
LOL, yep, naming her makes her personally mine. Thank you so much for watching.
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
Hey there, Sydney Australia! Is it cool down there now? Hot and humid here for sure. Yes, whatever it takes to be able to get out there on the open road. So happy. God bless you!
@@MidLifeStyleTwins
Hi.... Its mid winter here now but still great riding weather with temps around 70 f plus so really we are spoilt by having all year round riding. FYI i ride a 2022 blue steel CVO road glide.
Stay safe,
Kevin
Thank your husband for his service
I shared your message with my husband. Thank you so much for watching. God Bless You!
Both bikes look awesome!!
Thank you.
Nice to see familiar roads & scenery.
Favorite route for sure. How are you doing? 🥰
love the video, love the name, love you!!!
Kayla, I failed to mention that I think you suggested that name. Oooops.... CREDIT TO THIS ONE FOR SUGGESTING MY MOTORCYCLE'S NAME.
Nice
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 is awesome. Keep me updated on how you are enjoying the ride. Welcome to the three wheel family. So happy for you
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.
Yes, it is gone for me too. I am glad my husband is able to get to where it does not bother him too. God Bless You.
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!
BUT...at least with 3 wheels you can still be out there enjoying the open road. Even though aging is not fun, it is a blessing from God and I am so thankful for the 3 wheel alternative. Keeps me out there. Yes, the prices are stupid and too high. Not sure I will ever buy a new one again.
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.
Yes it is…better therapy for sure. So glad you found the ride that is right for you. I had less problems with my 2017 Triglide 😬. Safe riding out there.
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 you so much for watching and for sharing. It is important to ride the ride that works for you regardless of what other people think. We have both gotten used to the way the tracks handle and I don’t notice it anymore. I am just so happy to be out in the open air and not giving up what I have loved to do. God bless you stay safe out there.
@tellytruth8554, You echoed exactly what is in my head :) I'm only 65, but living with much hip and knee issues. As I play that mind-battle about lf I should go to a trike, I may have convinced myself this weekend when it was just too painful to get on the two wheeler. :( I've looking at conversions for my 2007 Ultra, but now I am talking myself into a new TriGlide with all the newer tech.
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!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. I’m excited for you, and I know it is hard to wait… But the weight will be worth it. Keep me updated…
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!
Awesome. My hubby and I may be heading your way this year to ride the Parkway. Email your contact info to talk2midlifestyletwins@gmail.com and when we are there we will let you know.
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!!!
ABSOLUTELY AND WELL SAID. I am so glad you found the ride that works for you. Does your twin ride? Thank you so much for watching. Truly a labor of love putting these videos out.
This is gonna sound nut, bimut only just found these responses on my gmail!!!😂 My twin doesn't ride yet, but she's getting her gear together to start riding my 2009 Honda shadow 750. She has the same problem with arthritis in her thumbs, so we're gonna try putting in an auto clutch pack from Rekluse or similar company. We're so excited about being able to ridetogether, God willing. She's an RN also, she works on a PIC line team for Prisma, so her thumbs get really irritated after a few days of that. We're seeing about getting her into an msf course in Florence, SC. I look forward to watching more of your content...sodoes my sisrer!!🙏🤗❤
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.
Could it be because you see the 2 wheels in the front and on a HD trike you do not see the 2 wheels? Thanks for watching. You doing a video on a trike test ride?
@@MidLifeStyleTwins Yes! That’s exactly what they told me, everyone does it on the Trike at first! Just have to get past that!
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. 🙏
Thanks! Never too late to ride...Nothing like the ride for sure! I miss leaning into the curves until I start thinking about someone coming into my lane and then I like to freeze and cant get out of my head....At least on 3 wheels the stability is there. Plus, I can travel on my own and not have the worry about dropping it and not being able to get it up on my own. God bless you!
@@MidLifeStyleTwins yep stress free riding for sure 😀
Hope you and hubby have a great time riding from down under
We always do enjoy the ride! Thanks so much for watching. :). God bless you!
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..
That is awesome, Doug. I pray you have a great time on your trip and are safe. Cannot wait to hear about it.
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.
Thank you for watching. I had a blue bike before the red one, and it seems to me that the blue never gets old. Like you, I don’t like trendy colors.
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
So sorry to hear of your injury...as a nurse, I have seen my share of those types of injuries. I am so glad you found the rid that works for you and will keep you out on the road. My husband was born and raised in Ohio (Millport). Are you a Cleveland Browns fan? Safe and enjoyable riding out there!!! God Bless you.
And I want to thank your husband and your son for their services I'm an American Legion Rider I'm a son of a veteran and I'm proud of my family preserving too and I love Ohio
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?
Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate you taking the time to also leave a comment.
I use the Insta360 ONEx2 because I love being able to turn it on and letting it do its thing while I ride. When I go to edit (free Insta360 editing software), I can get the angle and footage I want for my video.

Thank y'all
:). I appreciate you watching.
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!
Congratulations on your new purchase. I have been riding three wheels since 2017 and I find absolutely no problems riding on the interstate. In fact because of the destinations, I usually am on interstates most of the time. My husband going from two wheels to three wheels feels like there’s a little bit of vibration, but that’s because it is a totally different ride from the two wheels. After being out on three wheels for over a year now, he does not seem to have any problems with that feel. I absolutely love the ride and I love my RG3. Thank you so much for your views and for responding. Stay safe out there and God bless you.
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!
Yes! Love those old servi-cars. That is what the freewheelers remind me of. I always tell my husband..."At least you can still be out on the road." I have no regrets. Ride what works for you. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share.
Felicidades Melissa descubrí tu canal, muy interesantes tus videos, realmente fascinante el mundo de los Trikes, saludos desde Mexico
Sorry for taking so long to respond. Thanks for watching. Trikes are a great alternative...keeps us out riding.
👍👍
Nice to see your husband and listen to his words of wisdom. Made sense to go to 3 wheels. Much respect to him.
Thank you. This was very tough for him. People need to know that there should never be a stigma or be made to feel bad if they have to go to 3 wheels (for whatever reason). What is important... there are options. God bless you! Thanks so much for watching.
My wife and I have rode 45 years, Harleys mainly. We are 69. Have a 96 Road King which we bought new. Last couple of years, my left knee started to 'go out'. While riding the Road King at starts and stops, that was not good. We bought a new 2020 Tri-Glide Ultra and love it much. Yes, we still have our Road King, I take it out now and then. Thanks for your videos. Blessings.
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 - 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.
Yes 14 inch is all I know. In trying to mount my Ram-Mount for my phone, I found the C-hook (whatever you call it) wont fit these bars...I believe these are 1.5 inch in diameter.
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
I think this RG3 is a great sporty looking motorcycle and rides great. Sorry for the late reply (I just got home from a 16 days trip on the RG3...it was awesome). As far as how it would fit someone 6ft 6 in...I will try to find someone that tall and ask them if they would sit on my motorcycle to see if it would fit. Maybe a tall boy seat and road pegs so you could stretch your legs would be great. I find I have to lean forward a little, so if I had longer arms I would not have to do that. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching.
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….
Thank you so much for watching!

Hey there, @GlidingOnTwos. Thanks for watching.
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.
I use an Insta360 Onex2. I like to be able to turn it on and get the images I want in the editing process. What is her channel? I will check it out.
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 .
Hello. I am 5'6". Gina (who rides the red CVO Triglide) is about 5'0". It is a comfortable reach for me. Gina did not need to move the foot controls on the CVO. Since I have ridden both Triglides and RG3s I can tell you the foot controls feel the same. I hope this helps. (Gina did have to move the tour pegs on the Triglide, but I do not have those on this RG3).
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🐻🦅🏍️😎
Definitely no offense taken fellow Jesus Christ follower. :). I am 57 and my husband is 66. God has truly been good to us. Thank you for your compliments, regardless! God bless you. I hope you find the ride that works for you.
Thank-you for your understanding of my heart. Oil of Okay may be great, BUT, it's got NOTHING on the "Oil of Holy Ghost". Just, when you get promoted to glory in the year 3104 at the age of 50, the beauty industry will be miffed because they didn't get your beauty secrets to make their greedy fortunes from-they don't deserve them anyway! Put God first, and, he'll put your needs first!🦅🏍️ Doug
@@douglasradowick508 amen!
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.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing.
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.
They did pull them back a little in the position of my other motorcycles. I would like to have them pulled back just a little more I think. But really I have no problems with them.

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?
Sadly, the installation is costly...wish I knew how to do more work on the motorcycle myself to save money.
I think the RG3 and the independent steering (from the fearing) is easier to handle. I am not sure if there is that big a difference in how it handles from a should/neck standpoint though. I rode 4100 miles in 16 days on this motorcycle in September and and had no neck or back pain. I am 57 years old and sometimes have back/neck pain though not horribly bad, but I cannot say I suffered at all on either of my long distance trips this year. I hope this helps.
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
I do not recall the name of the bars (sorry). The 14s are good but after my last trip am thinking I might prefer the 12s on my CVO to these. I am 5’6” tall. Glad you live it. I do too.
@@MidLifeStyleTwinsThank you ! I just ordered the 12s. I’m also 5’6”. I live in Indiana, near South Bend. I love watching your videos.
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 ?
A trailer is something I would consider after the warranty is done. I hear trailer hitches void a warranty. Road Glide 3.
Keep the rubber side down and the Sunnyside shiny side up and everything will be fine on the trike
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
Funny you should bring this up. Already Working on the video addressing this. ❤️🥰. Hope to have some of the final taping done this weekend and get to the editing next week for it.
@@MidLifeStyleTwins yay !!!
@@davidcrisp9513 By the way, my husband's name is Chuck.
❤ my name my trike double shot after my wife she's no longer with me that's why I named it double shot
What size handlebars does your husband have? And how tall is he?
He is about 5'8" and size 14-16 (I will verify).
@@MidLifeStyleTwins *Thank you for the reply. I want bars like your husbands, they look good height. I got a Freewheeler and i want taller bars, i'm 5'11" and i think taller bars would be better for me. Great videos by the way. I just got lucky and found your channel today. Been binge watching them now 🤣. Keep up the good work. 👍
@@johndoe3485 I took at 4100 mile trip with the 14 inch bars (I am 5'6") and had no problems with shoulder or back pain at all. My husband loves the height of his bars. Thank you for watching. I have another video coming out soon.
500🇺🇸😂👍
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!.
Interesting. Never thought of that. I do love the front end of the RG3.
@@MidLifeStyleTwins I've tried for 10 years to get Harley Davidson to build me a triglide with a road glide fairing, I even had my lawyer offer Harley a quarter million dollars to build it ( I want it titled from the factory as a trike with a roadglide faring, kinda like being pissed on without the courtesy of calling it rain) an they refused. Egregious bastards.
@@pastorjohnculbertson661 maybe you gave them the idea. I am not a fan of the batwing fairing.... glad they put the fixed fairing on this model. I like the sporty look without the tour pack.
