Aussie Annie Posted August 23, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2011 I wanted to express my sincere thanks to B2dad, B2mom, and Rick & Shirley Haywood. On the way to Vogel I had trouble with the trike [apparently its an issue with how it was built] and we ended up all sitting on the highway split, in the heat for quite some time. I have road side assist with Harley -- but it only applies in Oz! Rick rang his tow company, and they sent a truck to pick up my trike and get it in to H-D Chattanooga. These good VR folk stayed with us till they knew we would get back on the road And they are good people at Harley too, worked hard to get me back on the road. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted August 23, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 23, 2011 What a Harley broke? Actually I think they have come a long way as far as reliability from when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I saw at least a 10 to 1 ratio of Harley on the road coming and going to Cody. Never saw so many out on the road before. Glad you got it fixed. Now high tail it to Pork in the Pines on Labor Day!

Aussie Annie Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah, I figure the harley jokes will begin. The exhaust was installed wrong, and it actually split!! The heat melted the clutch cable and just after I stopped the oil caught fire Both Rick and Don grabbed bottles of water to throw onto it scarey :yikes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utadventure Posted August 23, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I figure the harley jokes will begin. Nothing from me. You know I have to be nice or pay the price. Glad you're OK and the bike is fixed up. Will you be coming back our way?? Dave Edited August 23, 2011 by utadventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patti Yeah, and we went for ice-cream on the way home. Patti & I pull in on the trikes. As a young guy walks out of Macca's -- he looks at Patti, then at me, then he said "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!" He walks off to his car then sees Don & AL pull up in the truck, so he shouts out " you make the old man ride in the truck --Woo Hoo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideoftheroad Posted August 24, 2011 Share #15 Posted August 24, 2011 Actually I think they have come a long way as far as reliability All I got to say is father in law and one of his friends rode from Indy to Oregon and back w/out any issues. Not sure about his friend but father in law has a '10 Ultra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
