A big Thankyou to Ron and his wife not sure how it's spelled. We had a great time. Just got home not a bad trip home. Was a fun time catching up with everyone and got some nice rides in. And of course as usual plenty of good food. We even had some ice cream. Definitely a place we would like to explore more lots to see. Thanks Ron for a great time. Joe and Debbie

@gorski this is my 87 but may give you what you wanna see

After an 8 year hiatus from my old 99 and this site I picked this beauty up in SC a few weeks ago. After a few shake down rides I determined it needed some maintenance and some TLC. Put it up in the air and went front to back. Fixed the e brake, new rear pads, new battery, rear bumper hitch step, oil and filter, plugs, new air filters, new LED H4 bulb, grease the front bearings, remove plenty of road grunge, Seafoam, Seafoam, Seafoam….flushed all hydraulics and radiator. New NOS fairing (wrapped fairing will be going up for sale soon). Should be on the ground tomorrow and ready for a good clay bar and wax. Trike came with all of the goodies….reverse, aux tank, ez steer, Barnett clutch, high output stator, clearview windshield with vent, utopia backrest, passenger arm rests that swing up. Had my last Venture for 12 years. A few Harleys and a Triumph in between but I’m happy to be back on a venture again. Sold the piggy backer trailer.

Congratulations on the new to you RSV Trike. Hope you have many miles of smiles, Later-

Thanks. I have this unnatural desire for clean things. 🤣

What trike? I just see a garage floor cleaner than most of my dinner plates! congrats on your new machine!

It’s a wrap. Small turnout but had a great time. Dave Hannigan led the tour of the trike shop, did some riding, saw a little history of the area, lots of eating, and tons of visiting and laughing. It was pretty windy but good weather until rain Saturday evening when we just sat in the pavilion and talked. It was good to catch up some since it’s been two years. Thanks to all that attended and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. With retirement around the corner I’ll have time to plan next year a little bigger and maybe a few days longer if interest and attendance warrants it. I didn’t take pictures so hopefully y’all will share yours. Safe Travels home.

I miss two wheeling myself, but with my knees, vertigo and Shirley's health a trike keeps our knees in the breeze. It's a lot different but but still a blast to ride. You just might find yourself riding more. And I agree with Woody, I can't believe I just said that, IRS is the way to go.

Well, you beat me to it! I was going suggest Ohming out the coils and trimming the plug wires back. Ya' got the go, now check the whoa! Make sure your brakes are up to snuff and the tread is good. Don't just look at tread depth, check the date code of the tires. I never run a motorcycle tire more that 4 years, the rubber compound starts breaking down and they can get real slick. Also, when looking at the brakes, inspect the lines and hoses for swelling and cracking. There may not be a leak, but the old rubber brake lines will start to swell up when applying the breaks and cause pressure loss, thus loss of braking capability.

Very nice. Eileen has been on me for years to get a trike but I'm just not convinced. Love the RSV/Hannigan but just not ready to give up two wheels, even though I'm not riding much.

Yep! Good thing to do when you get a used machine, give it a thorough go over.

It's going fast now......
