- Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide test ride with a Stage 2! We don't usually work on trikes, as we don't have a trike lift, but a friend of the family was looking to have some work done, so we installed a Stage 2 on their Tri-Glide!

My dad rode for over 60 yrs. When he could no longer safely hold up his tourer, he switched to a Triglide and got more time with his "knees in the breeze". After he passed I started riding that trike. Because of the trike and your learn to ride videos I'm now on two wheels riding for Pops and myself.
My name is Jerry. One year ago I purchased my 2021 Tri Glide. I have been riding most of my life with my Shovel Head an FLH I built from parts with the help of a friend. That was 1980. In 1971, I bought my very first Honda I kept for about 1.5 years.I have owned two Shovels, one new 1994 E-vo Hereitage, one new 2010 Twin cam Heritage and now the trike. At 70 years of age, my legs were not as strong as they were ten years ago. My wife has always rode with me every where we go but she was getting a little nervous when I would have to fight the bike in travel or slick payment. So we both agreed it was time to get a Trike. A great move and we love it. It now has new handle bars and a state I setup. I am thinking about stage II but I really don't need it as the stock Trike has plenty of power for me. Still might go for the state II.
Mad respect for having the Coast Guard flag up on your wall with the rest of the services. You have no idea how many times we are forgotten in displays. Makes me love the channel and the garage even more. Keep up the great content.
I bought a brand new 2018 Ultra Classic Trike after decades on two wheels because my knees were deteriorating. I was 73 years young. I also upgraded the Trike to a Stage II and since then have logged 43,000 + miles across the USA. I LOVE IT !!! After I finally had to have knee replacement surgery on both knees and after therapy and gaining confidence in my new knees I bought a 2020 FATBOY 114 for short rides. AND kept my TRIKE for the long road trips. Best of both worlds !
THANK YOU CHRIS for sticking up for TRIKE owners and THANKS Block for the test ride showing that the TRIKE is still a motorcycle. LUV the BLOCK CHANNEL !!!
Had my right knee replaced after a bad jump in the military and just recently had my left knee replaced at 51. I had bought a 883 and thought I could keep it up but there was no way I could even though I really wanted to ride again so I took it back to the Harley dealer and they put me on a Trik and it was seriously the best fit for me and I love my Trik it allows me to get back to doing something that I truly love.
I have CP and can’t balance a bike or even myself and I’ve been wanting to ride since I’ve been small. Watching my uncle ride and then my step father ride I’ve always wanted to learn. Everything about a Harley has had me intrigued since I was 8 years old. I’m now 31 and it’s still the same joy of seeing/hearing a motorcycle to this day.
Big Shout out to the Blockhead Crew for the doing these Upgrades to My Trike! I couldn't be any Happier with the service I received, I would Recommend the Blockhead Garage to Anyone looking for knowledgeable shop with Professionals doing great things !!
As someone that suffers from MS I plan on buying one when the disease progresses to the point I can’t ride on 2 wheels anymore. Wind therapy I find is one of the few things that helps my mental health 🙂
Good video. Chris showed his softer side with all his knowledge and empathy toward those who need one.
Love my Tri Glide, I put 33K on trikes already and a new one now 2022 which keeps me going strong. Great talk, my knees and back were injured in the service so while I ride regular bikes I prefer trikes for more time now.
Hey, Dark Dave, I just found your channel a few days ago and I enjoy it. We broken old veterans need a way to enjoy the motorcycle experience and a trike can be a big part of that. Keep on trikin'!
@@itsapittie thanks, what as your job and service? Love being able to still ride.
Thanks for posting this video and not demeaning those of us that need to ride trikes. I got into riding at an age that I felt very uncomfortable starting out on two wheels. It's all about having fun.
Rich
It certainly is. I do, however, kind of regret that the prevailing attitude is that you "need a reason" to ride a trike. Admittedly, I bought one because of physical factors but I've discovered that if you want to carry a lot of gear and/or a passenger, nothing else comes close. For a long haul it's orders of magnitude less tiring than a two-wheeler.
I'm on my second trike because of health issues, I am riding a 2018 adversary 115th tri glide and love it. It's all about enjoying yourself.
I've always felt pretty much the same about trikes... when you NEED an option to KEEP riding, or even to ride in the first place, trikes offer the opportunity. I used to know a biker... real hardcore, a true 1%'er... who was on the verge of having to give up riding because of serious back issues. Doc told him another year on the bike would put him in a wheelchair. A triked Goldwing stretched his riding time by ten years.
Just got a Stage II completed on my Trike and love it. The Trike really performs great with this upgrade and I definitely recommend other Trike owners to get the Stage II upgrade. You will not be disappointed.
What cam did you have installed , having mine done in two weeks
I traded my 16 RGU for a 21 CVO Tri Glide a year ago because of my feet wanting to go out from under me all the time. Pulled groins hurt.
I had a piston break on the 117 a few weeks ago, so got a 131 stage 4 going in this week.
Is the MoCo fitting this. They refused to upgrade my trike.
@@Andy-px1mj My dealer is doing the fitting. Corporate wants no part of this upgrade. So that means no warranty from Harley.
I'll bet it will really scoot with a 131 in it! Even the 107 in my 2018 Tri Glide doesn't seem underpowered by any means but I'll admit it would be fun to have more power.
I was born with a physical disability, birth defect affecting my lower body only. After 10 major surgeries at Schriner's Hospital: ankles, knees, and hips. And 1000's of hours of PT learning to walk 11 times. I walk with a cane. I drive using hand controls, automatic transmission is a must have. Upper body strength and power way above average! My friends will tell you that is a major understatement. You ask who would ride a trike? I'm the answer to that question. Everything has to be done using my hands. Shifting and braking with my would a problem. Now does that give you a clear picture! I enjoyed your video, thank you! Peace brother.
Trikes are cool. But I want to see a return to the Crazy Custom Trikes from the 70's and early 80's 😁
I don't see why anyone would hate on a Trike. They're cool!
When the time comes to get off two wheels; three wheels, here I come !
And, by then you guys'll have a Trike lift and I can get "Mr. Cool" to throw some special "horse power bae" on it for me. Golden!
Been thinking about a trike just because my kids always want to go for rides and our youngest who loves the motorcycle has autism. He stims a little too much to be comfortable on 2 wheels, but a trike would change that unexpected movement and weight redistribution greatly. Thanks for doing the review.
If you plan to carry passengers, the Tri Glide is the bomb! The passenger doesn't need to know anything about riding a motorcycle and it's almost impossible to fall out of the back seat. I've been told that the passenger seat is super comfortable but I've never ridden there.
I spent most of my life on two wheels. Diabetic neuropathy has forced me onto a TriGlide because it is very important to me that my wife continue to road trip with me. Trikes are a lot of fun and extremely comfortable!
Started riding last summer at the request of my wife who told me on Father's Day 2020 "Go buy a Harley Davidson." I jumped on that and spent last summer watching tons of videos (Thx Blockhead, and others), taking BRC, and putting miles in. By the end of the riding season, I was feeling good on two wheels, but the four-wheeled folks seem to never be paying attention. So many times defensive riding saved me from the boneheads out on the roads. My wife was on me to put her on the back, as was our teenager. I just didn't feel confident enough for their safety. So, we bought a 2021 Triglide this Father's Day, and it is so much fun to ride. It is much more comfortable, has greater visibility, and the stability is obviously fantastic. The steering and the breaking obviously can't compete with my Fat Boy, but it is a good trade-off. No regrets.
the tri-glid is my absolute favorite Harley... right at the top and dont have nor need a reason just love the entire look and feel of them.... on a side note though I am physically disabled just don't tell my brain that lol
Purchase my 22 tri glide in December,
Had 2003 ultra for 20 years,I am 75 loving it.Melvin T
I don't want a trike currently, but I fully expect to ride one when I am older. Im 29 and my knees are already bad lol They have a place for people who want to ride but can not balance a bike. Another awesome vid Block!!
I'm 70 and have been riding bikes for 55 years and with the better half on the back as my co-pilot along with the good Lord. I cannot physically handle the weight of my Superglide Custom with the wife on the back anymore when having to maneuver it when parking and such. Going to either have to go to a trike or give it up after this year. Being on a fixed income it will be hard to come up with the money as the trikes are very expensive for sure but i am going to try.
Can-Am. all I'm saying.
I've ridden two wheels for over 40 years and with my disabilities was forced to go to 3 wheels to keep my knees in the breeze ( 2018 Tri-Glide).Don't see many often see many of them here in Australia.
After 40 years on 2's, I traded in my 2016 Road Glide Ultra and got a used 2019 Tri Glide. I did a State 2 on it and dyno'd it up to 103HP and 130TQ. I'm in a diamond club and can easily keep up with my club brothers the vast majority of the time. I even sometimes ride side by side with them (but I'm sure it isn't fun for them, but you can do a 1 and 3 slot once you get good). When I first got it it felt like the thing would tip over in a turn, but after awhile, you learn it's like a go cart ... you can whip that thing around turns like nothing. I will say, however, that unlike a regular bike, it takes a LOT more upper body strength than a 2-wheel bike because you can't lean into turns. Also, do yourself a favor and the a trike lift kit from Legend or DK customs, that 1.5" lift makes ALL the difference in handling as it puts more weight on the front wheel, so it handles so much better. With my Stage 2 (Jim's USA 819 cam ... get a cam with low end torque as this is a 1200 pound bike and you want to get it moving fast, S&S throttle body, and Tab mufflers and a SE wedge air intake and tune, I can easily lay rubber or pop a wheelie. Not for everyone, but as a man with bad knees, I can keep them in the breeze and don't have to retire from my club.
Hey Block.. I've been riding since 1970s and I can't never get enough wind therapy. I've own a few rides in my time from a, 1974 Yamaha 250 YZA, 74' Honda 250 Elsinore dirt toys. Then moved on to street toys with a 78 Honda CB550 K. Then I started hanging with the heavy crowd and started riding a 1985 HD Chopped Sportster, then I was in an accident and had a hard time on Chopped bikes so I went back to regular ride style bike on a 2004 HD Fatboy FLSTFI ..
But, after ten years my ankle, knee and hip was giving me quick response problems, stopping at lights and getting them down fast enough to balance or hold me up.
Sort of like Biden..
Anyway, I figured if my wife and I were going to continue riding without falling, we were getting a Tri•Glide. That's a long story of why someone rides Trikes.
Y'all have a good day and Thanks for listening to my story..
Nice to see a review on a trike a guy never knows when a guy might need one
Cant hate on the trikes! I got smoked in the twisties before, blew my mind haha
I've got the 2019 117 stage 2 and keep up with the best of them. It is fun.
@@jaxx2688 as long as it’s got wheels and handlebars it will be fun! Haha
Frankenstein trike kits are mighty cool for folks who need it.
I love the look of a Harley Tri Glide so much I bought one.👍👍
Well, I would ride it because it looks super cool....not sure why people never say that. Those things are cool and that is enough reason to ride them.
YesssBlockhead! About time we had a trike vlog mate. I’m an amputee trike rider stage 2 Freewheeler. Now for a crazy performance trike build.
First time rider at 59 and I have a balance issue and have a freewheeler love riding
Well, I'm not getting any younger.... Currently ride an FJR with my wife as a passenger. I can see a trike down the road in our future. Gorgeous Tri-Glide, love the color.
you need to ride the M8 Trike, even better than the twin cams. I absolutely love mine, still allows me to ride after many injuries I received in the Army. Not only can I still ride, I can now do long trips again. Thanks for the review
As you can tell by my handle, I ride a trike myself. I have a 2019 Frewwheeler in Blue Max paint scheme and I have had this ride since Dec 2020 when I traded in my 2016 Heritage 103 Twin Cam. I'm just about ready to do a stage 2 upgrade on my stock 114 Milwaukee 8 and am totally excited on the potential torque and horsepower increase that will take place. Thanks for the video on the TriGlide Twin Cam upgrade. Hope to see more vids on trikes and potential upgrdes for the same!
The first Harley trikes I ever saw were modified Servicars ridden by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol in the 1970s. I thought they were cool then and I've never changed my mind. I went with a Tri Glide because I wanted the extra cargo capacity (and I do actually use it) but I prefer the visual aesthetic of the Freewheeler. It really does have the vibe of a modernized Servicar.
You should do a club style trike build.
I have a 2016 Triglide. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we got bored and went looking at motorcycles, she wouldn’t get into a sidecar bike. She spotted the Triglide and I said “ If you can get on the rear seat I’ll get it” .
Never ridden a tri-glide before but I could imagine how weird it must feel to not lean and turn instead!
been riding over 50 years. im terminal now. need to go back to tri glide. sigh. broke preacher tho...lol will try and be safe on the roadking 07.... props guys. see ya at the crooked can perhaps. blesings
Rented a trike last year in Vegas and road all through twistiest west side of Henderson . Was great going up and down the Vegas strip as balance was out of the equation and could just enjoy the strip. Only thing that’s weird is front end is very twitchy until you get used to how to control it
2019 Freewheeler, on Dr.s orders. Iron butts, Oregon to Wyoming, run with the pack CVMA. Awesome alternative to giving up wind therapy.
Been waiting for either you or Shadetree to take a trike out since this is definitely the dad jeans of the motorcycle world. There are some wicked custom trikes out there and like you and sick wide glide mentioned whatever can still get you out there it's all about the ride.
Looking at 1 soon. Thanks
I’m 100% for trikes. If you’re not at a point where you can balance anymore, a trike is perfect.
I love trikes would love to see a giveaway trike for a veteran maybe a performance one.
The guauges and radio look like face. I like it lot. I love all the storage options.
I have no problem with a trike. Not for me right now, but like you said if I couldn't ride a standard bike for some reason a trike would definitely be on my radar.
I am a new amputee and had to go to a trike. It still feels like riding.
There are a couple of guys here around Clearwater that have prosthetics on both legs that ride and even pull trailers with their wheelchair on them
I'm happy you're saying all the good things about trikes because even though I ride a 2 wheel right now if I was to ever get where I couldn't hold it up I would definitely go to a trike but I hear a lot of people saying if it's got 3 wheels it's not a real motorcycle that kind of makes me sad
Take it from me, if you get to the point that you can't reasonably ride a two-wheeler, you won't care what the haters say. I live my own life and I ride my own ride.
I’m a paraplegic. Been in a wheelchair 41 yrs. I would buy one but I have no balance and couldn’t do it. Glad some can use them.
I’m only 45, I ride a road glide limited. Sometimes the pain that shoots up my legs and back when I stop has me thinking about a trike. Spine injury from my time in the army. I still love my road glide but maybe 10% of the time I put my legs down I think I’d be better served on a trike. 🤷♂️
Add the center step for more convent mounting of THR TRIKE.
Bro, you should test ride the tilting motor works trike set up. You get to still lean as you ride, but when you get down to 1 mph it automatically stands you up right like a trike.
Adaptive riders... we are out there. Amputees. Paraplegics. Quadriplegics.
Love my trike
I test drove the Tri-Glide and can-am spyder, the harley sounds awesome and it had the 114, but the spyder handles WAY better. I ended up buying the RT Limited Spyder. 1: the cost was 13k less and 2: the two wheels up front was waaaay more stable.
To me the Spyder just didn't feel like riding a "real" motorcycle but that's only a matter of opinion. I definitely took a deep breath at the price of the Tri Glide but I'll likely ride it until I can't ride anymore so I took the plunge for the one I preferred. No hate for the Spyder, though; ride what makes you happy.
@@itsapittie to me, I absolutely love both, and I wave to everyone, I don't care 1 bit what someone is riding, I know there is alot of die hards out there that HATE 3 wheels 🤣 but I was in an accident 2yrs ago, my options are 3 wheels or walk, so I choose 3 wheels. I just found the Harley in curves felt "top heavy" but again maybe that's something you get used to?
3:25 your a good man
It’s like the box truck of motorcycles, but I dig it for those who need it to keep riding. I’m sure I’ll be on one in the distant future. Lol
What up blockhead rustle and fill it here, 1st and foremost thank you thank you for your channel I love the channel After watching your review on the Harley free Wheeler I thought long and hard I pulled the trigger for the 2021 Harley freewheeler I'm 58 and I got a bad magnificence in my right knee Of course my boys clown me clown me hard But I had a plan Save the money up and I went crazy on my Harley freewheeler 21" front wheel Stage one neighborhood Put a aftermarket that wing on the front Decent Pioneer radio and some nice speakers in the bat wing now Lower the suspension change the Shocks now doesn't look so bad and I'm getting out of my own way on a highway
I just think that a trike would be good cold weather riding & rain riding.as a full time rider I can see many benefits of a trike.maybe switching back & forth between a trike & a bike.
Good video! 👍 I appreciate you getting this trike content out for us. I just haven't seen any because I don't search for it. Keep up the good work 👏
" I'll Always Love 💘you Hayden Panettiere "
3:18 F**k, yeah!
8:20 Ryan is a great dude. We work in the same town.
Proud trike owner.
I think trikes are cool, also for passenger options, since people might be scared being in the back of a 2 wheeled motorcycle. And for sure great for people who have injuries or just not comfortable on 2 wheels.
As someone who has ridden just about everything with 3 wheels, I've noticed a misconception that a trike is an inferior riding experience to a 2 wheel motorcycle, but at least you're still out in the breeze. Sorry, but that's just not so! A trike is a different type of motorcycle that requires a different skill set to ride well. Once that skill set is mastered, you'll surprise more than a few people on a group ride on just how well you can keep up. A trike is neither inferior nor superior to a 2 wheel motorcycle, just different.
Sick ride
Blockhead this is an off topic question to the video but I wanted to ask what you felt some basic maintenance tasks for motorcycles are? What do you think people should know how to do before taking the bike into a shop?
Tough guy stuff Thanks 👍
I just purchased a 2021 FLRT with 24 miles on it. It has the rattlesnake venom color. too cold to ride right now 35deg.
I come from a video a year ago and now I’m confident Enough to buy a bike and try to get m license thank you so much!
Gotta get a trike!!! Yeeeeeeeye 🔥 BRAAAAAAAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAAAAP MISTER BLOCKHEAD
Oh, I know I’m wanting to get one.
Thank you sir I was looking for a god good video about these bikes I’m looking at getting one as well have a great day sir!!!!
Like them I’ll have one eventually
I am 65 and I bought one. Me and my brother are riding together. On top we pay less our permits because of 3 wheels. HOURRA.
I think I'd go the other way and get a Spyder. I've heard they're way more stable in the turns. And the price.... ya...I'd go Spyder. lol
Great video
Tell us all about it's sub- standard suspension bounce and jostle. If your too old to hold up a two wheeler the chances are your back is also too old to handle the trike's blingy bounce, particularly on most of our Australian sub- standard roads.
I haven't really experienced a lot of "bounce and jostle" but I almost never ride it off pavement. The suspension doesn't feel any worse to me than other Harleys but as always your experience may vary.
Will we see a video with all three trike model comparison
Great video!
Alright u got me, I purposely clicked on a trike video😐😐 this better be worth it yall
Rode baggers for 35 years when I couldn't rely on my bad knee at stops with my daughter riding with I made the switch
Sounds great 👍
I can't ride with my wife any longer, due to balance disabilities she has, from several strokes. Would love to have her back on the road with me. A trike would make a world of difference, bringing a sense of normalcy back into our lives.
I have 3 bikes, (2) 2 wheelers and a trike, bought the trike so the wife can feel comfortable on the back on long trips...
great video, ive only seen one trike where i live and recently saw one of those 4 wheel motorcycles (not quad bikes XD) i cant remember what their called
If i ever get to that point. Id want a road glide trike myself. Plenty of reasons to use a trike
How easy would it be for me to meet you in Orlando?
We are going to Disney in October.
I could see a trike in my future when I'm not able to ride two wheels, but it's not right for me at this stage in life. Since you briefly talked about the TC and the M8 in the video, I'd love your (and subscribers) take. Performance is great and all, but, when I get back on two wheels later in the year, I'm looking for longevity. Would the later TC's (96/103/110CU) or the M8 be more likely to get to 200k miles with normal maintenance? I know most would probably say 'get a honda', but I'd rather do 200k on a HD (even if it does cost more to get there). Enjoyed the video!
I ride who is a double amputee lost both his legs. He rides an electraglide. I also have had several patients with MS who rode trikes to continue riding
Semper Fi Oh Rah. 1st Marine Division
I have one it’s a 2021 love it
Because of my back got rods and screws in it now.
Got rods, screws, and a metal cage around the spine. At 70 I am going to think about one soon if I can afford it.
Cool video. What settings are you using the GoPro hero 10?
That's pretty Cool 😎
Just love my trike in stop and go traffic. At 72, my lady and I feel a lot safer on the trike!
I have a couple friends who ride tri-glides and can leave many, many two-wheeled riders breathing their exhausts on technical twistiest! 💥💪💥
