Harley Out and Triumph in

[Ridefree]

Well My wife has joined the fold. we were at the dealership last weekend getting a tire on my Rocket and my wife looks over and says "that sure is a pretty Thunderbird over there. So she took it for a test ride and that was it, Harley is gone. she had a 2012 Softail slim but now has a 2015 Thunderbird Commander that we got a great deal on. For a long time she has loved the look of the street glide but not the air cooled engine. she wanted a thunderbird set up like the street glide with fairing and hard bags. she's been holding out waiting for triumph to do it but we all know how that goes. So last weekend she bit the bullet and we will have to build it ourselves.

Good for her. I have a good friend (female) that is riding a clapped out Road King. If it gets close to 80mph it starts shaking and wheezing to beat the band. I have tried to get her on a Triumph but some people are blinded by brand loyalty, it's a shame. I hope your wife likes what you build, which I am sure she will, it makes it even nicer when you put it together yourselves rather than one of the cookie cutter bikes where they are the same except for color.

Good one, my wife also upgraded a couple of months ago from a FZ6 Yamaha which we have had from new for 6 years and brought Triumph Tiger 1050, she is pretty comfortable on it and now keeps up with @Mittzy and I

Congrats on adding the Commander to your stable. Nice bike and I think Triumph did a good job on the seat.

I have a Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classic and I openly weep when the wife forces me to ride it when she wants to go out cruising with me...
