Thanks Earl You and I have chatted on this Build over the past couple years; as I was building up parts to move forward on this build and I appreciate your Knowledge on these Bikes. For the most part it is turning out how I envisioned but like any project changes occur because either they just do not fit (with torches grinders and welders you can always make it fit LOL) usually it does not fit aesthetically and sticks out like a sore thumb so you have to adjust so everything looks right . The key things on this build I was aiming for are in this order Safety ; Reliability ; and then enhance on the classic style that was already ahead of its time ; and of course Functionality. I have had positive feedback from many members and appreciate the nice comments as it reinforces that I am moving in the right direction with the built I thank you all. So you want to hear it running; click on the attached video Clip I toke tonight just to post here. Enjoy and have a good evening Herman IMG_3326.MOV

Hello Friends. My wife and I made it home yesterday afternoon and are resting today. We went 4500 miles through 10 different states in 27 days and saw so many BEAUTIFUL sights. We had planned on staying out a couple of more weeks, but the trike had a charging malfunction, so we came home early. Due to some rough weather, we didn't get to ride as much as we wanted, but we still had a wonderful time and met some amazing people. I have posted some beautiful pictures in the Pictures Folder so enjoy the scenes we saw. Steve

Good Morning Herman, I just wanted to take a moment and personally Thank You, my friend for documenting this build for the Forum Members! While NOT everyone has the ability to dive in as deep as you have on your custom build Herman, I am hoping that this build will inspire the other Forum Members to work on their own bikes to keep them on the road! I find myself checking the Forum daily to see what headway you have made on your latest project. I am excited to hear this bike run, and drive in the near future. Keep up the "Good Work" Herman, I'm sure you will be putting on the miles very shortly! Great Job, Sir!! Earl

I am going Thursday at least, may even go up Saturday. Dave and Marty will be there all week. They are staying at Sandpebble resort Surfside

It has been just 1 week ago that I confirmed that I don't bounce as well as I used to... Last Monday was a beautiful day for a ride. I used the excuse that I had a Amazon return to take to the UPS store to jump on the bike for a quick 80 mile round trip. Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish the ride. As I was on my way home, I topped a small rise to see a stopped vehicle facing me in my lane (on this country 2 lane). Hard braking was causing a skid and rather than lay it down, I opted to try to avoid on the ditch side. Over a driveway and into the ditch / lawn, the RSV stopped and that is when I discovered that I don't bounce anymore. The ER told me that my left collarbone was broken and a few days later a surgeon left me know it was shattered. So, the road to recovery is before me. It feels like my rib-cage is bruised and a few minor scrapes to go along with the collar bone. Amazingly, the bike did better than me. I'll get it to the bike doctor soon, but it has minor damage.
