  1. If you get the Hannigan bring it to the KY rally next year. We’ll do the factory tour again. Or if not come on down anyway. 🤣🤣🤣

  2. Sold the Harley and it pulled out of here about 2:30. Decided I was really going to have to think about if I wanted to continue riding at all. Eileen had insisted that we at least go look at the trike so we did. I got back home about 5:00 and the dang thing followed me home. 2005 RSV. Hannigan conversion. EZ Steer, Reverse, Aux gas tank, Floorboards. About the only main thing missing is the emergency brake and I can do without that. It did come with what looks like the Utopia backrest. He had it in the trunk. Will put it on here shortly. Ride home was nice. Handles well but will take a bit of getting used to. Bike itself is great. Hardly any clutch whine. Rear tires are great, front is a Commander and appears to be about 50%. About all it needs is some drink holders and a bluetooth dongle to stream my music. Also came with a color matched Bushtec Roadstar trailer. It looks pretty much new.

  3. I'll update after putting some miles on it. Feels really so far on the hour ride home. Just never fell in love with the Spyder or the Slingshot. I think this will be much better.

  8. Here is one that I came across on the 1800 Goldwing forum. Interesting concept and not one you see everyday. https://www.gl1800riders.com/threads/2003-tilting-trike.478581/unread

  10. Be prepared on the test ride, Hannigan’s RSV reverse has enough torque to launch. Tap the button. Just ask Robin.

  11. Lots of good stuff there Freebird, I don't remember how tall you are but the Goldwing is taking some getting use to for me and the 2018 and above only has bluetooth no where to plug in a cord, I was told that if I installed a CB radio then it would have intercom on the bike. Not So the only intercom you will have is headset to headset. there was a 2008 venture on the site a few weeks back not sure if it is still around. I just got rid of a 2014 Triglide without floor boards and now I have the 2019 Goldwing with floor boards it is definitely a cleaner look and ride, while in Asheville last week we got caught in the rain and the floor boards make a big difference. So make sure you get independent suspension, raked front end and if you do get floor boards then reverse is a must have.

  12. Lisa and I have been thinking about going with 3 wheels...dunno yet if 2 of them will be in the front or the rear, but if I was looking for a traditional trike....I gotta say.....If you're willing to part with the $$$$.....That Goldwing Trike that Woody had down at Ashville was triked by California Side Car and it's gotta be the sharpest trike I've seen....even if it's not a Yammy....

  13. Except for the color that sure looks like my Hannigan. The ez steer on mine says Hannigan right on top of the tree.

  14. Well, tomorrow I am going to look at this trike. It's a 2005 model with about 27,000 miles. I talked to the guy and he doesn't remember the brand of the conversion. It looks like a Hannigan to me but maybe one of you can tell me for sure. It has the auxiliary gas tank, floor boards, reverse, etc. He didn't know if it has EZ Steer or not but I'm betting it does with the other options. It also comes with the Bushtec trailer. Only thing it would need immediately is a backrest.

  15. I am really not at all interested in the Spyder. Not only did I do the test ride in NY, I ended up buying one later on. Yes, it was the older generation but there were a number of things that I just didn't like about it. We sold it and then tried a Slingshot. Bought it, spent some money on it for a top, rear fender, windshield, etc. First trip of any distance that we took on it we both ended up hating it. So sold it too. Nope, if I go with a trike, I will try a conventional trike this time. The only one I've ridden belonged to one of our members and we just took a short ride on it. We liked it but we also liked the Spyder and the Slingshot after short rides. So, we'll see. Here are the two closest things to a trike that I have owned.

  16. I know you test rode a spyder several years back at the WNY rally and didnt much care for the lack of leg room. the new generation spyders are way better with a much improved riding position, if I could afford one it would be in my garage. Total different bike. something to think about.

  17. I really like the boards on my RSV/Hannigan. In my opinion, a trike looks better with them. A trike without them looks incomplete to my eye. I know some disagree with this. I you don't have a reverse you need to be careful how you park so you can coast out. They help keep some, not all, of the road debris from hitting the rear fenders. In rainy weather my feet and lower legs stay much, much drier. The trike experience is much different than 2 wheels but a lot of fun. Make sure whatever you are looking at has independent rear suspension. It makes a world of difference.
