It sparked a love for Harley-Davidson that Eric never forgot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric bought an H-D Electra Glide<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Classic in 2008, which he has modified in his own style over the years \u2013 including adding a sidecar to make that childhood dream come true. This bike took him and his wife on many adventures in the eastern United States as well as in Ontario and Quebec.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year he traded it in for a Tri Glide<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Ultra, choosing the three-wheeled option as he continues to keep his passion for riding a Harley-Davidson<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> alive. Eric and his wife are currently planning on taking more beautiful trips and meeting new people on their new bike!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2
