  1. Yesterday the weather alternated between rain and snow all day. I decided to do soma odds and ends on the bikes. Hadn't checked the air pressure on Eileen's trike tires and found the rears to be over inflated by 10 lbs and the front was 5 lbs low. Then decided to check the air in the rear suspension. I apparently I gave away my last Prorgressjive air pump when I sold the last bike so had to go find one. Found a Harley dealership open about an hour away so drove over to get it. When I was checking out, the lady asked if I needed anything else and knowing that they don't normally stock Vance and Hines mufflers, I said yea, I need a pair of Vance and Hines mufflers for a 22 Road Glide Limited. She said great, I have a brand new set still in the. box that I ordered for a customer who changed his mind and will make you a good deal on them. I had planned to eventually buy a set of Vance and Hines Monster Rounds. These were Vance and Hines Torquer 450's and after doing a bit of research on them and her knocking $300.00 off the price, I decided to buy them. Got home and first checked her rear suspesion and found that it was set on. zero. pressure. Got it adjusted properly. and about that time, Amazon delivered the KuryAkyn highway. pegs I had ordered for her so I. went. ahead and iinstalled them. So now I'm done with her trike for now at least. I've added a riders backrest, passenger backrest, KuryAkyn cup holder, phone mount with charger, Windshield pouch, and the highway pegs. She is good to go. So then I installed the new mufflers on my Road Glide. in my opinion, they look and sound great. At least sitting in the garage. I actually like them better than the Monster Rounds. I think the 4 1/2" gives it a considerably deeper sound the the 4" Monster Rounds. It is a bit louder than stock but not obnoxious. I'll know more after the weather gets better and I can get it on the road. All in all, a fairly productive day.
  2. A bit cool here for the next few days with a lot of rain.
  3. Good. That should help. She didn’t have any when I posted it.
  4. It’s in there twice then. I posted it a couple weeks ago.
  5. Not yet. They are supposed to be here today.
  6. The issue is that it had to be in neutral for the reverse to work.
  7. Eileen and I managed to get a little ride in today. Only about 50 miles I think. All backroads as she is still learning. She’s going ok but still needs a lot more time in the seat and learning how to find neutral.
  8. Well, I went ahead and ordered the Caro Edge. Expensive but I wanted the longer range. Ordered straight from Cardo. They are still having a 22% off Valentines sale so ended up being cheaper than anybody else.
  9. Yes, and I don’t know which models of Cardo have the DMC. I’ll have to take another look. Maybe they all do.
  10. Oh. That will absolutely without a doubt be her responsibility. Maybe.
  11. Yea, that’s what I thought. Now to decide if I want to spend over $500.00. Actually considering the Freedom series. It might be fine for our use.
  12. Well we picked up Eileen’s trike today. She had never ridden a trike and asked me to ride it home. It was about an hour away and mostly 75. - 80 MPH on the turnpike. Temperatures were in the mid to high 50’s so brisk but not cold. The bike rides nice. I was a bit concerned because Harley trikes all have solid rear axels. It wasn’t as smooth as the RSV trike but handled surprisingly well. It is a bit lighter trike than most and the M8 107 engine feels very strong. First time in years that road a bike without full upper fairing and lowers and it was very windy today. It has a big windshield but I still got a lot of wind. When we got it home, i got on my bike and with her on the trike, we went for a short ride. She loves it but was more than a bit nervous. It will take some time. Hopefully she will stick with it and get comfortable on it.
  13. Looks like Packtalk Bold is discontinued. Not sure which model replaced it.
