UNCLE KURT GETS HIS TRI GLIDE!! 6-17-09

Back in November 08 or there abouts, I posted that our Uncle Kurt, who is 81, had ordered a new 09 Harley Tri-Glide. Well something came up and he cancelled the order in February 09. He & our Aunt Shirley were talking and decided to buy a Harley 2-wheeler of some sort. So a few days ago, they went to the Harley Dealership there in Missouri, walked in and there sat the trike he had ordered. One thing led to another and now that trike is in his garage and like the song goes: signed for, deal sealed, and delivered. The pics below were sent by Aunt Shirley while they were looking at the trike at the Harley Dealership. She said she will take more once they get out on it and I can do an updated post. So, scroll down and check out this GREAT looking Harley and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE..




Here is Uncle Kurt looking the trike over. He told me it is Candy Apple Red





It has all the bells & whistles and he said it even has a reverse gear.. I know several folks that ride trikes and even some with the big bikes that have that reverse gear and they love it.


This is just one GREAT looking Trike that Harley has put together and I am happy for Uncle Kurt & Aunt Shirley. Janice is even talking about riding up to Missouri so we can ride around with them. And as I said before, if you think you are too old to ride or know someone who is playing the "too old to ride" card, just tell them about Uncle Kurt who is 81 and show them this post. You are never too old. When I get to where I can't handle 2 wheels, then I will go to a trike also..But Uncle Kurt, YA DONE GOOD!!!
Also, Uncle Kurt's son, Steve, our cousin, who lives in Encino California had a bike accident yesterday where the bike flipped and it crushed his left elbow. Steve gets reconstructive surgery and a metal plate put in at 3:30 p.m. today and I would ask that all of you readers pray for him and that the surgery comes out well. Again, I know Steve would appreciate it as well as the rest of us that know & love him.
