Hey Lee hope you had a great Christmas and the New Year is the best yet!! Lee, I actually had a Vocal Cord cancer removed from my right vocal cord on November 4th. I sound a little rough right now but as I told the doctor, "Doc, I'm 75 and I know I've talked for at least 74 years, so if I never make another sound that's okay." You take care Lee, please have fun but ride safe! Respectfully, Ed

@ Ed, it is so good to hear from you and I am so sorry you are dealing with cancer. Took me a while to see and now respond to your message as I spent the holidays in the hospital myself. Kidney issues stemming from issues caused from treating and recovery after cancer. Cancer free for almost 7 years now but the debris field that is my body caused from chemo and bacteria infections/antibiotics took their toll on my kidneys; in spite of this I have had time and health do all the things I love and best of which is spending time with my beautiful wife. I pray that your recovery goes well and you get to keep talking for many years to come. I do miss TriGlideEd’s story telling while showing off the great country side of Virginia. You will be in our prayers and sending best wishes for a Happy and Blessed New Years

@@leewelchons Thank you for the prayers for sure Lee. I wish the very, very best to you and your bride for the upcoming year. May God continue to bless you both. Take care Lee. Most Respectfully, Ed

Good morning Miguel. If you can afford to update I would. A lot of good changes to the Tri-Glide since 2012. But again that's just my opinion. Have fun but ride safe. Respectfully, Ed

Thanks Cappy. I think it was meant to be for me to stop riding. I just had a cancer removed from my right vocal cord. Whew....blessed to grow old though. Take care, Ed

Glad to hear.

Hey Bob, after my back surgery it honestly hurt to ride. I sold my Tri-Glide and I don't regret that decision one bit. My old back still hurts some but not like when riding. Take care, Ed

Glad you think so! Take care.

I did try what you said about the trunk lid and it didn't work, but mine is a 2012 maybe it's just worn out , I'm going to play with it a little later

Scott I would put mine in neutral to give my old hand a break from holding the hydraulic clutch.

Hey Jim. Jim I actually sold my Tri-Glide last October. Every sense I had my back surgery in 2022 the riding was just a bit much on this old man. I felt "every single bump" in the road. I thought I would keep the channel up just for folks who may get some good out of what I said and hopefully they enjoy the ride along. Take care Jim. Most respectfully, Ed

David we have some of the best motorcycle roads in the country...in my humble opinion. David, I sold my Tri-Glide several months ago. I had back surgery in July 2022 and it just became a chore to ride my bike. Also we financed the bike and it didn't make sense to be making a big payment each month and the bike just sitting. David please have fun riding but ride safe. Also, go Panthers!! Respectfully, Ed

@@TriGlideEd I know what you mean!! I had my back fused in 2022 in Roanoke and had to go from 2 wheels to 3 . Just now really getting back into riding!!

@@davidconley3610 That's where I had my surgery too David. A young lady doctor did mine, Dr. Rogers. What amazed me was it was an outpatient surgery. Reported to hospital at 9 a.m. and left same day about 3:30 p.m. Just amazing!

Morning Tracy. In regards to trail braking, the answer would be yes and it also depends on the curve and the severity of the curve. On the Tail of the Dragon, some of the curves are what I called "Kiss your own "butt" curves or switchbacks, you best be applying a lot of brake before the curve but once into the curve come off the brake and accelerate. Also Tracy I've mentioned to a few subscribers that I sold my Tri-Glide due to back surgery. Most respectfully, Ed

Good morning David and thanks for watching my videos. David, I sold my Tri-Glide this past October. I had back surgery in July 2022. I'm doing okay but riding my bike became a chore. To this day ice and ibuprofen are my best friends. But I sure hope you are enjoying your ride. Remember have fun but ride safe. Most respectfully, Ed

@TriGlideEd Sorry to hear that Ed..but understand...Your videos were an inspiration for my trading in 2 wheels for 3..I enjoyed them...Prayers and best wishes to you and yours...

@@davidcrisp9513 David enjoy your ride! And thank you for your kind words. Respectfully, Ed

Steven I sold my Tri Glide back in October. After my back surgery it bothered me to ride. But I appreciate you watching my videos and I hope I helped someone along the way. Respectfully, Ed

Good morning Lee. Lee, the reason for no videos is I sold my Tri-Glide near the end of last year. After my back surgery, it just didn't feel good riding. I only rode about 4 times last year. I'm thinking about doing a short video telling everyone(of course we got a new computer and I got to figure this thing out first). I thought I would keep the channel up for a while with hopes that I may have shed a little light into the riding of a 3 wheel motorcycle. Lee I want to thank you for the kind words and support you gave me during my few years of providing the videos. You take care and most respectfully, Ed

@@TriGlideEd Good morning Ed, I really appreciate you getting back with me and letting me know about selling the TriGlide. I am sorry and sad you were forced to make this decision. We all will come to this point for one reason or other but as with your case when the decision is forced on you because of pain or discomfort it’s almost like the decision is out of your hands. My son had to stop riding in his late 30’s. After 2 bad accidents he couldn’t physically hold up a motorcycle and his wrists couldn’t withstand the beating holding onto the handlebars so he didn’t transmission to a trike. My brother in law and cousin who are 5 and 6 years older than me came to the point they didn’t feel comfortable riding any longer and walked away. So you are not alone. From when I first discovered your channel I liked your approach, riding and talking. I love the scenery of the area you lived and I became a fan and looked forward to your next update. When you first shared the issues you were dealing with because of your back I knew you were on a steep road and hoped by having the surgery you would find relief so my checking in was more concern about how you were doing versus why haven’t you been riding. I have known so many people who have dealt with back issues that their only choice was surgery, some have done great and others not so much. Based on all their feedback I was not sure riding would be a viable option for you long term but hoped having the surgery would provide a good quality of life for everyday living without pain. I do feel it would be great for you to share a video with this update for all your subscribers and leave your channel up as you did a good job on the videos you posted over the years. Thank you and take care of yourself. I wish you all the best, God Bless you and your family. Lee

@@leewelchons Lee, thank you so much for your kind words. Lee it is people like you that helped me to keep making my videos. Your encouragement and positive words were so very much appreciated. I will try to work on a video and post sometime in the near future outlining my reason to sell my bike. I will you and yours the very best and may God continue to bless you and yours in all that you do. With the utmost respect, Ed

Thank you Jeff for those very kind words. Jeff I mentioned to Lee above that I actually sold my Tri-Glide near the end of last year. After my back surgery it just became a chore to mount up and ride. I hope you are able to get one of those 3 wheel rides and enjoy many years of riding. You take care and if you do get a bike remember, have fun but ride safe. Most respectfully, Ed

Hello Bryan, hope you are doing well. Bryan I sold my tri glide near the end of last year. My old back just wasn't up to the bouncing around and it became a chore just to ride. I have to try and monitor working around the house and learn to take my time. My wife gets on me, and rightfully so, about trying to push to hard at times. I'm retired but still have the mind set of when I start to do something, like mow and weedeat, I need to do it all today. Old people, we're a trip. Take care Bryan, Most respectfully, Ed

Well thats a darn shame. I'll miss riding with you, even if it was only in a video. Take care of yourself and i wish all the best to you and your bride.

Was rewatching some of your vids and thought id say hi. Hope all is well. Take care. (Sorry if im being a pest)

Yes sir.

😂🤣👌

I appreciate that! Take care, Ed

Thanks for watching! Ed

Terry glad you got it open. Just keep a watch on how it's working. You may not need to adjust anything, but, if you do take it by your H-D and I'm sure they can help you out. Respectfully, Ed

What is a good product?

@@boscodog4358 the reverse gear I have on my 2004, 5speed transmission is a champion. It was installed by Harley Davidson of Washington DC. The other units that they provide are made by Lehman. Frankenstein Trikes also has a reverse gear available that is good. Beware the Knockoffs. They leak and break and have limited tech support. You get what you pay for. My plan for my Frankenstein Trike is to get one from Frankenstein as they are always available and stand behind their products.
