Hey y'all I'm still alive, just beèn consumed with trying to make a change of address. After two years of prep we listed the house for sale last week, less than 24 hours on the market we had a solid offer that we accepted. Yes it was a shock that it sold in less than a day! THE bigger shock is that they wanted to close in 23 days ! We have been scrambling to get this place cleaned out, those that have been here know that's no small task. 14 hour days of packing, selling and tossing. The plan is to vacate, get in the Motorhome and spend the winter in Florida then find a home somewhere in N.W. south Carolina or Eastern Tennessee. So we hope to not be AWOL from many for MD's, rides or rallies for mùch longer. To tell you the truth, I'm too frigin old to do all this packing and moving, it sucks! We are looking forward to a less cluttered life in a slower paced location. Hope to see everyone again soòn.

Jim, count me in for 1 patch. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Leo, I have pictures of a CarbonOne aux tank while it was being built, Jeannies trike was the R&D trike used to design the tanks Larry built. I worked with him during the development phase. Jeannies tank holds 7.5 gallons and does not leak or smell. 13.5 gallons total capacity! The tanks Larry sold to the public were Shrunk a bit to make the production tank kits easier to build and install. I don't know the Hannigan design but Larry's tanks have internal baffles and the vent line fitting is installed in the top of the tank so fuel slosh does not fill the vent line. The hose rises before turning down and exiting near the rear axle. Leo, if you want to see some pictures I will post them. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

So what's the story on Pioneer, they closing down? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

That's a very generous offer Jim. I sadly am unable to attend our friends service due to my employer school starting classes today, 2 weeks early this year. If you attend , please carry me along in your vest pocket and if you would , please extend Jeannies and my heartfelt condolences to Becky and all if Bob's family.

Another hole in our hearts. You'll be missed Bongobob.

How do I shut off these leaking eyes ? Mega prayers for brother Bob and his beautiful bride Becky.

We're happy to hear that your dad came through the surgery well.

Wishing you and your dad all the best outcomes .

Thank God he's moving in the right direction. Prayers up for Bob and Beckey. 🙏 Keep on fighting Brother Bob, sailor Mary is waiting for us. 😁

Knee mail for my buddy. Were pulling for ya brother.

When we are on the trike, we are almost always 2 up and towing, with the cargo trailer we average 25-27 MPG, with the camper in tow 20-25 MPG. NO tow 29-32 MPG. We for the most part follow the speed limits. I've found that if you short shift it your fuel mileage will suffer. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

First off, I have to apologise to Don and Eileen for not showing up, I owe you for the meal I missed. With our preparing our selves and the house for sale, I totally forgot about MD until Friday evening when I saw Rodneys post about being broke down , at that point it was too late to dig out the camper for setup at Pond Monster campground. Would have took 2 days to find the camper buried under all the moving boxes. Looks like everyone had a great time in spite of the weather . I Hope to have found a home by the time next MD rolls around. My body was here at home but my head was in Oberlin all weekend. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I've got a set but they are attached to the trike

Mr. Gasket 12S pump will work, Autozone in Sturgis has them in stock according to their web site. Pull the fuse for stock pump and plumb in the new pump, hook up power to a switched 12V source and you're good to go.

Nice job there Puc! Your woodsmithing is just as good as your wordsmithing. [emoji1360] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

For pocket carry I like the Sig P238 , small enough and a very accurate easy shooter. Also on my lose is a S&W airweight .38 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

No reverse has never been an issue for us. If you find that there is only downhill parking just back the trike into the spot. Get yourself some type of band the bind the front brake as a parking brake when parked on a hill. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I have the sonic springs in my bike also. The improved handling was instantly noticed, I no longer feel like the bike is fading to the outside on long sweeping corners taken at a fast pace. I then went dark side and again another improvement in handling and braking. 1 year Before the above changes I switched to a 130 front tire that made a big difference with low speed handling with no noticeable difference in highway handling.

Always one of the highlights of the weekend! Looking forward to seeing all our old friends and hopefully some new members too. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Puc, I think You just may have taken over the crown for the most long winded member badge, from our good brother Carl! He's not gonna be very happy with you [emoji856]. All very good points you made, even those who have been around a while need a reminder every so often. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

And the answer is........ It's from a 1974 AMC Matador Oleg Cassini edition

Vintage American Motors badges, emblems that I can't ID. Can you Help? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Stock RSTD cables work with the Flanders bars WITHOUT the risers. I put Flanders on the trike and found the risers were not needed and you can buy takeoff RSTD cables for next to nothing. Fluid lines came from Buckeye. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'm of the opinion that if the shipping FFL has a ligitamate reason for needing your I'd he could request it from your FFL. Sending your info to Joe Schmoe doesn't sound like a good idea. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
