While I did have a rig for a while it never got attached to the intended 83 Venture. Someone from Ohio saw me mentioning it on the sidecar forums, made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I sold it. Mostly cause I just don't have the room in my garage for a side car rig and a trike, Check out http://sidecar.com/ for a ton of info on them. Larry

Rode thru there in "11" (I think it was) during the International rally the club held that year. I for one am another looking to repeat that trip. Once is just not enough ya know. Larry

Ya Puc one learns just where those wheels are so those pot holes can be avoided, hopefully. Like you said just miss with a front wheel and the same with the rear wheel(s). I don't think it makes much difference whether you have one wheel or two in front as to being user friendly. I guess it might if a new rider had never ridden a mc or conventional trike and simply got on a reverse trike from the get go. In that case ones driving experience in a car would most likely dominate their driving style. One other thing I've found in my experience of 3 wheeling is the width of the wheels track width. Some bikes have a rather narrow axle such as the Harleys and my RSV/Tri-Wing conversion with solid axles. The Hannigan on the other hand has a nice wide width due to design of independent suspension. My Slingshot is even wider yet thus make it even easier to get past those pot holes. Larry

Puc all 3 wheelers suffer when trying to avoid bumps and mostly pot holes. Some times one can straddle a pot hole if conditions are right and if there's only one to navigate around. Throw in a bunch of them thou and about all you can do is try to avoid the worst ones. Even 4 wheelers can't always avoid those numerous holes we seem to have here in Michigan.

Welcome to the world of 3 wheels. Yep there'll be a short learning curve but nothing that time and miles won't cure. Have fun and enjoy the new wheels. Larry

For all the reasons folks have taken a fuel bath is the reason I designed the transfer system I use for the auxiliary tanks. While I do love Hannigan's trikes I do feel they've dropped the ball on this issue as far as safety goes. The potential for a massive fire and perhaps even death is just too great IMHO. When I first did my transfer system I even gave Hannigan my drawings and specifics as too what I use for my auxiliary tanks. Apparently costs and maybe time had over ruled safety concerns. To be fair I have no idea if there has ever been a fire due to over filling a main tank but I do know there's been a lot of "educated" riders who've taken fuel baths. And not just on these RSV either. So for those of you who have the Hannigan auxiliary fuel systems do be careful & safe while transferring fuel. Larry

One of my favorite rest stops when traveling along Highway 2

Knew you'd be happy Craig. No time to relax now for you but when you get back from your trip I suspect we'll be seeing your 2 wheeler going on the market. Looking forward to more ride reports later on. Larry

Good luck with the new bike Craig. I'm sure you'll have a new love affair riding on 3 wheels. As for the fuel transferring the guys pretty much covered that. I will add that anyone wanting a better & safer fuel transferring system just let me know. My system works great, just like big trucks do that have dual tanks. Simply toggle a switch to the desired tank. Larry

Definitely have you & Mike in my thoughts and prayers. We're with you all the way Patricia. Larry

Congrads Craig (& Kim). LOL Once you get a few miles on it you'll be like most folks who have gone to the third wheel wondering why you didn't do it sooner. Larry

Great info Eck. Good to know there's other less costly lodging for us poor retired folks out there in the area.

Finally getting on here and thanking Puc & his crew for setting up the meet. Well Puc I gotta say you & the crew did right well with this M & G. I can't believe I've missed out on the other "hot dog" runs this past summer but you can be sure I'll be making a lot more effort to attend future outings. Larry

If your concerned about the amps going thru a mini switch you could run the setup by just using the switch on the ground side of the wiring. Probably don't need a relay either with such low amps but for peace of mind you could add one. Larry

My favorite guns are short bolt actions in 7mm-08 (preferred) or 308. Most of my hunting was mostly done under 75yards with long shots out to maybe 150yds due to being in woodlands. Long action guns I have & use have 30-06 stamped on the barrel. All 3 calibers get the job done quite well on deer when using proper bullet weights. I've also have used a number of lever guns in 30-30 & 35Rem. Larry

Well said Don. Like Dick said the times I've been pulled over it was deserved. Some times I got a ticket, other times a warning. Most all Leo's & 1st responders have my respect for the jobs they do for us. Larry

Great that she's beating this dreadful disease. Continue prayers for y'all. Larry

Jay I don't have any "extra" reloading equipment but will offer any knowledge I have gained over the years rolling my own ammo. Larry

A great loss for sure TJ. So sad to have seen the news on TV firstly and even more now knowing you were close to him and his family. Prayers for all. Larry

Dan Happy Birthday buddy

Geez Jay they never try busting ya when I've been with you doing boarder crossings. You looking guilty or what. Be glad you leave the iron home. Larry

So glad you are okay but sorry about you bike. Hope to see you again sometime. Joyce

Miss you guys already. Safe journey in your travels. Larry & Joyce

We got home about 7 after stopping for dinner and then the sky opened up. Just pouring rain here now. As for the WNY it's what's already been said. Great event, greater people. This rally can be truly listed as an international rally too. Annie & Al from Australia, Jonas & Kristjan (spelling?) from Iceland, then a whole lot of our Canadian friends. Looking forward to next year already. Larry

Dan most folks I've talked to or have seen their posts online wish they had switched to a trike long ago . Larry
