  1. We had a great time last year but won't be able to attend this year as we had planned on doing. Have a great day everyone. Larry
  2. That's awesome Lewis. Enjoy that ride & now you're free on three like a lot of us who have discovered how much fun they are. Larry
  3. Good to hear you and Becky had a safe trip Bob. Welcome home Larry
  4. You could run both switches off the same relay depending on the load of both circuts. Most auto relays will handle 30 amps. In your drawing one thing I would chance is rather then taking power for the switch from the battery (green line) I would use a key on circuit so those lights can't be turned on until the key is on. That will prevent a dead battery if someone was to toggle your switches. Why not just run both front and rear running lights off the same swtch . Those bulbs don't pull that much in amps? Use the 2nd switch and a 2nd relay to turn on/off the low beam headlight circut. Larry
  5. Good to hear you, wife, & daughter are doing well again. I know 1st hand about that panic mode feeling after being out of work a year asnd half like you all have been. Not a comfortable feeling at all & can be quite depressing at times. Anyhow good luck for all of your future employment. Larry
  6. Never easy to hear of another member passing on. Prayers to family and friends. Larry
  7. Gonna be a cool project Gary and if anyone besides National Cycle can do it it'll be you. You really should consider getting "Tweety" into one of the mags as it's a deserving build in its own right too ya know. Larry
  8. Well if he trailers the trike here he can take the one of my bike. It won't be getting used until after 15th due to me being out of town then. Larry
  9. Jay does may a good point there. Or maybe another NY member would be willing to give up their relay till you get back. I'd even loan mine if you could get here. Larry
  10. Looking forward to the answers here as well. I too have a fork rebuild this winter on the 83. Larry
  11. Thoughts and prayers for all of the trooper & families. Glad the dirt bag got his just reward as well. Larry
  12. All what the others have said is true. While you will give up some performance you won't be left in the cold either. Keep in mind that the extra weight of a trike will be compensated with lower gearing in the rear axle. Hannigain uses a 3:73 gear ratio ( same as the V-max differential) that'll move the tachometer up about 500 rpm's at 70 mph. You will keep up when running twisties with your 2 wheeled friends too. In fact most times you'll be able to run thru curves at 5-15 mph over the suggested yellow speed signs. Larry
  13. I would call that safety chrome. As Dragon rider says ya can't have enough light front or back. And we both know Don's got plenty of lights on the sides too. Larry
  14. I use both methods when parking my trike. Especially if there's any sort of slope. Larry
  15. I have Allstate as well and my trailer is covered. I'll have to double check to see if its covered if unattached to the bike. But no extra fees for coverage while hooked up. Considered an accessory. Larry
  16. Should work as Mike says. You'll just have to play with hoses back and forth to get it all done. Larry
  17. Don't look too stable to me, even with those dual wheels. And passenger is sure to get a lot of road derbis throwns their way. Good for the novelty thou. Larry
  18. So John when are we going to get together and compare our 1st gen rides? Yours is deffinately loaded with more bling. Larry
  19. Don't remember his name either but remember seeing his rig at Don's MD a couple - 3 years ago. Larry
  20. Freebird is right. Never hurts to draw attention to the site regardless where on hears of us. Talked to a fellow Saturday up at St. Ignace, Mi and told him about the site here. Which reminds me I need to get some business cards printed up Larry
  21. Good one Jay :rotf: And an even better comeback to Eck. Larry
  22. Glad to hear they came home safe Monty. Thanks to them for their service. Larry
  23. Welcome to the retirees club Bob. You'll still be plenty busy enough and will at times wonder how in the world you ever got anything done while punching a time clock. As said before your time out time now is your reward for all those years working for others. Congratulations and enjoy your retirement. Larry
  24. Nice very nice house but moved in? Seems there's a lack of furniture in them pics. Larry
  25. Calendar is marked. This will most likely be my last ride of the year. I'm having an Cochlear implant done a few days later so by the time that heals enough to get a helmet on my riding season here is next to over. Larry BTW: We had a great time attending last year
