You made me smile Sandy. I thought the same this past July when I bought my Road King. The only reason I bought it is because Triumph has stopped making the R3T and probably will never make a big cruiser-touring bike in the foreseeable future.
The current R3s are amazing for sure, but not cruisers. I wrote a review on them when the 2020 models came out. That does mean I won't buy one someday, but for my long trips, I need what the R3T has and therefore, added the Harley to help share the workload. It has served me quite weel in 4,400 miles so far.
@Majaste good luck with your trike. Let's see a picture of it when you get a moment.
