One of these years I'll have to convert it to a trike or get a side hack.
Been looking @ these cam-am's as an alternative.

Well , I'm in the same situation. Dealing with the weight of a Harley Road Glide Ultra was just a bit much. It was fine once it was moving. Backing it out of a parking space or on a side hill just made the experience more than I wanted to deal with. It almost tipped over on me in my garage just turning it around one day and screwed up my back. That pretty much did it for me.

I'm not saying everyone should run out and get one of these things. Who knows I may have this one up for sale in a couple weeks. I'll keep you guys posted on my findings. At least for what I paid for it I don't think I will take a bath like I did on my two Harleys. For what it's worth my suggestion to you guys is Do Not Buy a New Harley! Buy used only. Ask Me How I Know. They claim to hold there value, yeah not so much especially the V-Rod series. Figure that one cost me about $3.50 per mile to own and operate.
