I just saw a video, today was #143 2 to go.

No I just had them go over the chassis grease points and what I need to watch out for in maintenance.

Naah, they’re arguing synthetic vs Dino.

I’m sure $$$. I’ll stick to a V4 carb unit I don’t have to make payments on. On that note I bought Motorcycle Mike’s trike a few weeks ago.

They have sold to Cypress Creek Motorsports. Dave and Ruthann are staying on staff for a three year transition before fully retiring. The Venture was never a huge seller for them but I don’t see very many people willing to invest that much $$ into a bike that’s been out of production since 2013. He did tell me they’re hanging on to the molds. The trike market is falling just like the touring market, younger people aren’t buying them. I use the same powder coater as Hannigan, he told me a couple years ago that he gets trailer and side car frames but very few trike frames anymore. They have a 3rd gen in right now getting a sidecar fitted to it. Cypress Creek builds a ground up trike using Chevrolet V8s and automatic transmissions. Called Challenger Trikes.

I stopped in at Hannigan’s factory today, one of the office guys told me they dropped the RSV and a few other bikes out of their lineup this year. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the selling of the brand or not.

I did 1098 miles on my IB run in 2019. No desire to ever do it again, never mind every day.

That was the day I had my physical to start my career at the fire dept. I’ll never forget that day for several reasons.

Just saw they caught him. Sad part is they can’t hang him on the court square today.

Our store had 3 sets. I now have 3 sets, come down this way and get one, I’ll even pay for the coffee and donuts.

Lowes is changing packaging and clearing these out. Good price for us metric guys.

If he’s traveling it may take some time to hear back from him.

I texted @dfitzbiz contact info to you. He’ll rebuild it.

I’ll ask the boss for the time off.

I put a Bluetooth receiver in the bike. Just stream any playlist I want off the phone. Way easier for me.

Just walked in the door. Stopped to eat with the youngest in Huntsville.

Just walked in the door. We detoured through Huntsville to visit the rocket scientist.

Anybody heading down today beware of flooding in the Chattanooga area if that’s your route.

We’re pulling out this morning to head down there.

Right now I’m running a Shinko front. The fronts last long enough I haven’t gone double dark.

I’m headed to the Vogel rally today, mountain twisties darkside annually. Turning isn’t an issue.

Yep Nexen is what I use. Look under the forums tab and scroll down to darksiders.

I use only AGM batteries, lead acid usually lasted 1-1/2 years. I get around 5 years now. I usually use Interstate or the premium Super Start from Oreilly.

Phil make sure the battery is good and connections clean and tight. I had a low voltage symptom for several months 12.9-13v, battery and stator tested good so I replaced the regulator with no change. Replaced the battery due to age and it jumped to 14 volts.

Steve if you have trouble getting it in time let me know. I have a radiator off a bike I junked. I just checked and it came out easily.
