Hello folks.
Mike and Darcy Cartwright here from south Georgia.

I actually own 4 Heritage Springers and have owned 7 at once before in the past but my wife would never ride with me on 2 wheels.

Last year be bought a clean used tri-glide and she rode with me on it throughout the summer and we sold it after the ridding season was over.

This year she wanyed to try a side car so I just bought this last week. My overall intentions was to expolre if she likes the side car and if so I am going to put a Liberty on one of my Heritage Springers.

So far So good, she likes the ride and I love having tunes along for the ride. I have already talked to Pete at Liberty and am awaiting a quote.

Here is the new toy in the shed. 2008 Electric Glide with 2008 Ultra attached with 6,000 miles on her. she came with a 7 year extended warranty.

With full chassis suspension you'll find the Liberty rides much better than the Harley car.

Mike and Darcy ... here from south Georgia....This year she wanted to try a side car....So far So good, she likes...

Welcome to the off-set world of sidecars, Mike & Darcy. Sidecars are a lot of fun and will bring a smile to your face. But: Careful, Mike: Jena had no interest in riding her own bike until we mounted a sidecar to our Sportster. Within a year she wanted to try her hand at her own rig...then a puppy to ride............

Good looking rig. Don't let anyone tell you that they handle poorly. The Harley-Davidson is a great rig. They were so iconic that Liberty copied the early body style. Imitation is the greatest tribute. 🙂

Thanks for all the welcomes folks. We are enjoying the new ride and now the $9,050 + postage question is which bike to put the Liberty on since I have several choices. The factory Harley is alright but the Liberty coupled with the Heritage Springer is just about as old school as you can get and that is just me.

Since the ultra glide has done it's job introducing the bride into sidecaring I will pass it along to someone for bargin if anyone here might be in the market, but we will keep enjoying it until it is sold. I think $19,000 should be a pretty fair deal for someone considering it has the extended warranty with it. Is this a fair price?
