Still working on that,,,,,

Don't know that it would bother anything, the wheel should be perfect going either way, but the bearings would be running in the opposite direction from their norm. But I don't think that would bother anything to much either, but that is only my opinion.

Valve adjustment is not rocket science, take the covers off (hard part) then follow instructions like turn the engine until the cams line up as per instructions, use feeler gauge to measure clearance, again easy instructions, turn the engine again and again and again and then some more until you get all the specs written down, Then, per instructions figure out the ones that are off and whether they are tight or loose and then get a supply of shims from your local dealer maybe, to compliment the ones you might need. Put the covers back on (harder part) Really not all that hard, but can be very time consuming, but if you relax and plan for a few hours of time, quite a nice project and can be done by me, so you can do it. Hey, your are not designing or building anything here, you are just taking apart something somebody else put together and then putting it back again,,,easy pezzy.

OPPPPPS,,, yep a big opPPPPPPs!!!!!! I didn't do that right. Failed miserably!!!! That would be called a major screwup!!!! Jim did not make an offer or bid to buy this trike. Now for the next step, and that will be sometime Sunday.

Auction is now closed. Congratulations, Jim Parks aka Sylvester.

Yep,,, I'm longsuffering.

Is that the biggest size they make, looks like it will only cover the top of your head. NICE HAT!!!!

Oh Goodie :happy65: You finally getting rid of Big Tom????

Might I suggest, Joe,,, uhhh nope,forget that one!,,, Pete?,, uhh not that one either,,,Mary? oh crap,she's already taken,,, Tommie?,, nope, he's too busy,,,, Walter?,, no go, too far away,,,, Hans?,,, not really a good choice, now the wrong gender, I give up,, better stay with what you got. I can suffer for a while longer.

Calling just once more,,, is there anybody that is sitting on the fence,, this is your last chance, don't be shy, get out your fingers and type a few numbers,,,,, Only one (1) day left,,,, hopefully,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I nooooooo nutinkkkk, I see nuthink,,I speek nuthintkkkkkk

Hang in there, this is not a brand new problem, somebody will post on what can be done, in the meantime, I know, you said it was unlocked, try locking it and then unlocking it again.

Really guys???,,,, I'm having a hard time believing that you don't understand auctioneer speak,,on the other hand it wasn't soo easy on my end either, but what is written is written and I'll not take back a word of it,, well not until I run for Prime Minister, or President. To make things short and sweet for you all then,,,, Calling once,,,,,, Calling twice,,,,,, Now just to wait for the final ok.

Ok,,, so the suspensin continues. Ya I know,,, it's a new word and I know because I invented it. We have 2 interested parties in being the grand fabulous new owner of the one and only trike that ever belonged to none other than the master of electronics: BongoBobNY. The dialogue that I've had with either of them and the encouragement that they have received form the parties on this site have not got them to go out and find out how good of a deal this might be. This has to be a find of a lifetime, something you wouldn't even hope to discover in a barn somewhere, and the buyer will get to sit on it, fire it up, listen to the pipes as they emit sounds of strength and power, and then when all is ready, hold their head up high, slip it into 1st gear, release the clutch and go cruising down the highway with the realization that it is ME!!!! and ONLY ME that get to ride such a machine with all it's history. Now I would think that the BS previous should be worth another $50,, I'm not a real good auctioneer on paper, but I can type a lot when I get going. Actually, presently, like as we speak, so at the moment, like not yesterday, but right now,,,,,, I have put the question to the owner and eagerly awaiting her answer with abated breath. I really want to put this thing to sleep, and get on with the 84 and the tools etc. I'm actually camping at present and have sporadic cell reception, but I will stay on it.

Wrong thread sir. There is another thread for this kind of gobbligoop, this thread is for updates and info only,,,,, so mind your manners!!!!!

Wondered what kept you away,, nobody to get coffee 1st thing in the morning,,,, thought maybe I was going to have to get devoirce papers ready, glad for all the happenings in your life and going so well. See you next year,,make sure you register and plan a place to be,, NOW!

Just for your info,,, once again prices have been adjusted, all in your favour. Don't forget to mention Tom Lacut and VentureRiders when you book for a further 20% discount. Thanks Tom for getting this straightened out once more.

Sounds to me like your throttle linkage may need a bit of lube. Also to make sure things are in good order, you should do a cab sync which might also define and/or fix your issue. Once you've done that, let us know if we can be of more help.

I would agree to allllllllllll the above posts,,, now to figure out who was first, guess it's more work for poor little old me,,, or maybe there is someone who is feeling sorry for me and so to help things out, would bit just another $25 or $50. You know how an auction works eh,, the highest bidder gets the prize and............ we see!!! eh?

Open the enrichers, crank the throttle, then start it and close the enrichers as idle increases. Always, always have the enrichers closed before you move, there is a real danger of a mishap when the engine stalls or burbs during riding,,, not a good thing. You may also be having the enrichers hang up as you close them. Check them on a cold engine and make sure they all totally return to closed when you close the control handle.

Had a wonderful time and glad we made the choice of coming home a day early,,, not a drop of rain the whole time,, just a little cool at times,,,, course the Bum wouldn't know anything about that eh! I can remember only 1 u-turn and I don't think any farmers were plagued by wayward motorcycles. it was good to finally meet up with Sailur (Andrew), that boy rides well!!!!, and to see Abdul once again if only for a short while. Glad to have had you guys along. Found out that Garmin with their new update now wants to change a route according to their plans, took some time to keep ahead of them. Won't be trusting the route transfer from on. Thanks Evan for setting this thing up, it was a real grand time, and I even got to sleep soundly. Couple of good routes that stuck in my mind were, Southwood road, 518,632,654, all good roads to ride, although I think the 518 wore us down the most.

Already then,,I think this has went on long enough. Please place your bids on line here. The way it pans out at the moment is that I have 2 bidders left, both at $11500. Please post what it is that you two guys would like. We could cut the trike in half, but then we'd have to argue as to which way and who get to pick first,,,, you know what momma said,,, one cuts, the other picks. I really think it would be a whole lot easier to bring a bit to more than $11500. This sale will close shortly, but not before Friday Sept 13, I am busy guiding folks around Ontario, so you have until then to mix this up some.

Boy,,,that's amazing,,, for some folks them there tootheses just fall out,,, guess yours didn't want to leave so easily. Too bad you couldn't make this ride allll the way, planned out special with you in mind,, lots of turns, twists and such, even some hills and valleys, just to get the right mix in. Due hope to see you tomorrow though and if you think your rain dance is working,,, keep at it,,, just put a little more effort into it between 3 and 4 in the morning,,, that should pretty well do it then.

Gonna miss ya Bud, but we will steak it on you anyways,,, only because we know you would want us to. Blessings as time goes on and hopefully there will be a blessing at the end of this tunnel.

It has backup lights and the reverse that we could find was fitted on either side when Ben was riding it, but when he got off the reverser had also magically disappeared. I would say it has NO mechanical reverse. I just called Hannigan, according to them they did not install a reverse.
