an envelope with a wax seal on it. On the envelope was written "In case of emergency!" Eileen's curiosity was aroused as well as...

Sounds like a deal to me Jonas!

A utility trailer from Lowes would be a lot cheaper...

My trike is bigger than a Smart car, and faster...

...and it left me stranded!! I was just out riding this afternoon on back roads around me when I smelled a kind of burning rubber aroma. I looked down and noticed the voltmeter was flashing 2 red led's at me indicating a charging issue. So I plugged in "Home" into the GPS for the quickest route home. First obstacle was a farm tractor in a no passing zone. No, I do NOT break the law and pass on a double solid, especially around curves! Finally got around him and the next obstacle, 2 bridge construction zones with 1 lane open. Hit both of them with red lights. Starting to worry now, don't have my cell phone with me! Got to about 1 mile from home and the bike sputtered and died luckily in front of a business parking lot so I coasted/sputtered in. Long story short, walked home, got wife and jumper cables to make it the rest of the way home. We charged my battery via wife's car charging system. Sooo, now I have to see what took a dump, the stator or the voltage regulator. Probably won't do it until spring, I'm putting the trike away for the winter!!!

What FF said! The starter switch has a separate set of contacts that turns off the headlight when pressed so that the starter gets as much power as possible. If the voltage does not drop a significant amount when the starter button is pressed, then your solenoid may be bad, it's mounted on the side of the battery box. If the voltage drops significantly then possibly the starter is bad. Also check your battery connections and clean the grounds from both the battery and the starter.

Outstanding Craig!!! Welcome to the world of 3 wheels!

Getting old sucks!!

Yes, that is a good thing to do. Just use a spray can of brake cleaner.

So now you have a Yamahonda braking system?

Congratulations Dave, job well done! Like Billmac said now the real work begins!!

So I ended up riding alone but had a great 5 hr ride!!!

​HAPPY BIRTHDAY Steamer!!!

I periodically get the same message but I just ignore it, it goes away with the next page I click...

Haven't decided yet. You do know that Letchworth is going to be crowded with their annual craft show!

Monday is going to be a great day to ride!! Anybody playing hooky from work etc and want to join me???

Craig, there is a short learning curve to trikes but you will catch on in no time! I'm very confident you will love it!

Who, me??? I just call 'em like I see 'em...

The conversion alone cost more than the asking price!! This is a super deal!!!

Pucster, you ain't right in the head...

Yup, Fugly at best...

What link Puc??

Sure sounds like VMax carbs...

They will charge for the box, packing, and labor...

Ditto! Is your location Batavia NY??
