Left TN for ND on Wed, Sept 16 at 5 pm. Landed in Fargo, ND at 4:30 pm on Thurs, Sept 17th. 1192 miles in 23.5 hrs. Not sure that was the most direct route, but that's how my GPS sent me. (sorry Snarley Bill I didn't stop and see you on the way, it was around midnight, figured you and Linda were sleeping!) Left ND yesterday morning, but stayed the night in Keokuk, IA (?). Didn't try to do another straight run again. Left there at 4 am and didn't arrive home until 3:30 this afternoon....weathered storms all day. Really glad to be home, I'll tell you. Total miles ridden in 5 days about 2500, staying 2 nights in ND, and one in IA. Don (who has a sore BUTT)

You can sure tell who she belongs to! She is a cutie for sure and will definitely be breaking some hearts when she gets bigger. I would have preferred an orange and white outfit (GO VOLS) but certainly understand having to cheer for her daddy's team. Thanks for sharing the pics Yamma Mamma Patti

Definitely "triking" it. It has made a world of difference for me and I'm loving it!
-
I have one I will give you. PM me your address and I will ship it out, if you will pay the shipping. I have the pair and will send both. Don

don had one for his which he used on a regular basis, even just to clean the bike. However, when he triked it, the lift wouldn't work any more. He sure misses it for sure! Larry has promised to work on adapting a new one for the trike, hopefully he will have some time this winter. But if you have a G2, this is the best there is! Patti and Don

Dear Don Please, please give them to my sweet, adorable, but poor husband, Don. (See, you have the same name!!) He has spent all his money on his new trike and now has nothing left to buy those thingys with. I have had to cut him off from the check book and all kinds of plastic. He has spent the children's inheritance and his retirement money. He is now driving me crazy, crying all the time and has filled up the garbage can with used kleenex. :bawling:I can't take it any more! Please send him something he can put on his bike and maybe that will appease the poor creature for awhile. It's worth a shot, don't you think? The trike would look so much better with those gaugie things on it...or whatever they are called. I will be forever in your debt, Don. Thanks in advance...I believe you have my address. Patti, the poor distressed wife of a crazy lunatic on 3 wheels

Pat and I are coming. Also, my son is coming from MS. Going to be good to see you all again. Just a note: There is supposed to be construction beginning this coming weekend on I-40 going into Memphis (from Nashville), if anyone is going that way. Also, I thought I saw some construction around the Flying J last night. But then again, I could be wrong. Pat said she didn't see it, but she wasn't looking. If you are coming up I-55 there didn't seem to be any, but definitely some on I-40. Everyone be careful! Don
-
I will be there and so will my son. He rode this last year and asked if I would like to go with him this year. We are both riding to Memphis for St. Jude's and then going to Birmingham on Sunday. Tazmocycle: I will be the one riding the '08 Venture Trike (Bl cherry / Black). Hope to see you there. Don
-
B2Mom and son will be there with me. Anyone coming in on I-40 and want to meet me in Jackson? Let me know and I will ride with you to Memphis. Don
-
And a great time was had by all! Thanks!
-
I got home early this morning. Thanks again for a great time. I'm so glad I decided to go. The wife found the pics of my lady riders so...thanks Lewis!! LOL. I emailed the pictures to the family of those ladies. Have not received an update from them as to how they are doing. Will let you know as soon as I hear from them. This is such a great group, I enjoyed being with everyone. See you on the ride to St. Jude. Don
-
Thanks Monty, that certainly makes me feel better!
-
Ladies (and others...) I just want to warn you what happens when you send your guy off to a rally without you...I found these pictures on Don's camera when he got home this morning! AND IT'S NOT ME!!! Apparently someone likes giving rides to the ladies. LOL!

Look What Annie Did Today....................
b2dad replied to Aussie Annie's topic in Watering Hole
You look awesome Annie. Congrats on the helmet hair even if I can't see it. I didn't know hair could look any different???? Well, except for those that don't have any....Dale? Don? Keep on riding and sending pics. Patti -
I really like my bike (this is really B2dad talking). I have only had it 2 weeks now and still really learning everything. I still can't get used to it in the twisties. I am disappointed in the gas mileage, however...I am heavy on the throttle and have been pulling a trailer that I swear weighs 900 #...THE WIFE PACKED HER WHOLE CLOSET!!! The ride is terrific with independent suspension and the disc brakes, of course, are the best. It stops on a dime.. I am sure you will be happy with whatever trike kit you choose. let me know if you need any other info. Carbon One summed up our bikes pretty accurately. Don:thumbsup2:
-
Glad you made it home Larry (Carbon One). Rain has just let up here. So we all would have been in some heavy storms if we hadn't left on Thursday. Good call!! Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us for tomorrow. My brother in law gave us a car to drive while we are here for the wedding, so we don't have to drive the bike on the wet roads (now that it has quit momentarily). Tell Joyce hi and we were so fortunate and happy to ride to MI with you. We enjoyed meeting everyone at the Rally and look forward to more of them. Pat and Don
-
Just wanted to let you all know that we made it to Mich (nephew's wedding tomorrow) with Carbon One and his lovely wife, Joyce, late this afternoon. They decided to head on home due to the impending rain. We had a great time at the HUB and enjoyed seeing old friends and making lots of new friends. The committee did a great job! Hope to see everyone there (and more) next year. Will let you know when we get home. Pat and Don
-
Hey Don, save some postage and bring my two to the rally. Heck..just bring them all to the rally. Those that don't pick them up, you can mail when you get home. Or whatever works for you. Don
-
Freebird IF you decide to order some more of those mugs, B2Dad and I would like 2. Just let us know. Patti
-
I would be happy with 35, LOL! The rear end that Hannigan used was a Ford Thunderbird.

Got the trike back Saturday. Apparently the drive shaft was aligned wrong and the rotors were bad on the rear brakes. There was alot of vibration and noise. Took it back to the mechanic and they had to adjust the drive shaft and put on new rotors. Since I picked it up Saturday afternoon, I have put several hundred miles on it. It's running way better now and I'm loving it! Except for the gas mileage. I was getting 36 mpg before the trike kit and now I am only getting 26-27 mpg. The carbs have been synched. Anyone have an idea what else it could be? I posted some more parts for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested. Will post more pics when I get time. See everyone at the rally next week. Don

Yes, I had the ezsteer installed and yes, I had to re-aim the lights...although I didn't know it at first. We were riding home last night, when it got dark enough to see that the headlight was in the trees. What rims have you looked at? I have a wheel / tire dealer looking for me. I was wanting some deep dish chrome, baby moon (everyone says I am old!)...but having a hard time finding anything to fit that I really like. Just want something more than what's on it. I know that when all is said and done, I will like it. Unfortunately I had to take it back to the shop today. Mechanic said it needs a new drive shaft. That's ok because I am only 20 miles from Hannigan's...

Buddy: No, I did not get to watch it day by day. They were having issues with their insurance company (if the insurance company found out anyone other than employees were in the service dept, they were raising the rate by $6000). So...I stayed at home and paced the floor. The trunk latches ok now...not sure what the problem was. Will tell son hello for you. Carbon One: Yes, I will take it easy and get to learn the bike all over again. (Wife said so). Will see you and everyone else at the Hub. Can't wait for the Int. Rally!!!! Don
