I doubt there'll be a color difference but they're only held on with double stick tape so it'd be easy to put them back on. Either Clearview or F-4 windshields with the vent is the best way to go. I've had both brands at one time or other and preferred the F-4. Larry

Hear hear a round of applause for Jonsey. Which I'm sure is well deserved if Eck says so. LOL After all I do know he's a great guy. Way to go Jonsey for helping a brother in need. Larry

Glad to hear there was no damages to you guys but the underwear. Bikes can be fixed or replaced you know. I'm sure you'll have the ride back to tip top shape in no time. Larry

Thanks Owl. After jogging my memory you're right. I missed the potato creek m & e but did go to the potato creek international Kevin/Lead Wolf sponsored a few years later. Ah the memories. Larry

Good discussion here. I've been to all Internationals but 3 of them due to conflicting schedules. I believe we could easily drop the door prizes, T shirts, and trailer raffle, making less work for the organizers. Which also brings up the question of finding the volunteers needed to take on the task of organizing an "International Rally". Without the folks who volunteer there wouldn't be any rally whether M&G, Regional, or International. So my thanks to all who do the leg work required in these doings. For me its all about seeing different parts of this great country and meeting fellow VR members while doing so, regardless of the type of meet being held. Larry BTW: I think the Fort Collins, Co International was the largest ever attended. Partly due to being the 2nd one held early in our VR history. I forget just now the exact year it was held thou. With well over 100 bikes being in attendance

Ditto to John's statement Phil. See ya in a couple three weeks at the WNY Rally. Larry

Well now Scott this is the 2nd M&G I had to miss. Hopefully the 3rd one will be a go. Glad to hear all who made it had a great time. Till next time friend. Larry

I got home about 10:30 this morning myself. Like others I had a great week enjoying my time with everyone at the rally. Hope to see many more folks at next years rally, wherever that may be. Larry

Well today wrapped up another great International rally for the books. Snarly Bill, wife Linda, Patti (B2Mom) & Don (B2Dad), Mike & Cheri, Don (Freebird), and anyone else on this years international rally committee did a great job. It's always nice to meet & make new friends as well as see old friends at these gatherings. Looking forward to see what the 2016 International will bring. I'll post up some pics once downloaded after I get home. Safe travels to all getting home. Larry

Bad news none of us want to hear. Prayers offered up for a Complete recovery. Larry

Having had a RSV with both a solid axle & an independent axle here's my .02 worth of experience. Regardless the brand of the bike a trike as a solid axle trike will never red as smoothly as one with independent suspension. For anyone serious about possibly wanting a trike my suggestion is to ride as many as possible so you'll know what they ride like. Don't be put off on first impressions either cause it takes some saddle time to learn trike handling quirks. An excellent source of info can be had at http://www.triketalk.com You'll find topics on all manner & makes of trikes there. Happy hunting, Larry

I see you beat me getting to Plainfield John. I took the scenic route till I hit us 24. Oh yea that construction zone on 69 south of Gas City was brutal. The Canadian crew will hit that stretch in the morning. Cooling off now after a HOT days ride. Larry

Yep They're first class there. That was one of the reasons that when I triked out my 09 I let them do the conversion. No problems whatever after picking it up after 5-6 days start to finish. They did do the paint work in advance. Looking forward to meeting you at the rally. Larry

I've tech welded stuff on bikes before with no issues, then removed the item for final finish welding. Larry

Yep the entire trunk is tilted.

So jealous of you tripping out that way. Maybe next year for me. Be safe while having fun out there. Larry

When I had my bike the wife wanted the same effect of the leaning back angle. Besides moving the trunk back I added spacers to the front trunk mounting bolts. Effectively changing the angle of the backrest. When you do this it would be best to add a large support area between the spacers & the abs trunk. I used stainless steel sheet metal for the entire bottom. Larry

Love the looks & old school styling but don't think many will be sold. The Polaris slingshot will easily out preform them at 1/2 the cost. Larry

Not the news we want to hear Puc but glad to know at the least you now know what you're up against. Prayers off up & Blessing down for you and Tippy. Larry

I had 3 busted ribs & the collar bone and that was more than enough for me when I got "T" boned 3 years ago. I can't imagine the suffering your going thru Dan. Prayers up for ya during the healing process. Larry

Nice digs, enjoy your travels. Larry

The very BEST folks of any web based club. Larry

Patti as long as you can keep Don in check you'll do just fine. LOL Looking forward to your reports of your travels, See ya both again at the International Rally Larry

Seriously Bob do you really have room for more lights? Glad to hear you're getting the bike in tiptop shape. Larry

Sorry to hear you & Peggy had to cancel Buddy. You'll be missed. Larry
