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

Well, I did it. I had my '08 RSV triked out. It's been in the shop for a week and I finally got it back this afternoon and took it for a short spin. I had the Hannigan Trike kit put on it. I think my mechanic did an amazing job on it. I'm now looking for some different rear wheels and some other chrome to add to it. Trying to attach a picture, not sure if it will work or not.

I may have a slightly used shock from an '08 RSV. My dealer is removing it as we speak because they are triking my bike and won't need it. I will ask them the condition of it and let you know, which it should be ok. I have never had any trouble out of it. I bought the bike new in May '08. If you are interested, let me know. You can PM me and we can discuss a price. Don

Squidly, Lonna and Bummer: Just wanted to say that it sucks big time to lose your job, but you've gotta look at it like a new door is opening for you. It's BIG TIME SCARY, but it will work! Don and I did that about 30 yrs ago. We grew up in MI and I was so tired of the snow, we moved to TN and never regretted it. Can't say as there are any jobs on our side of the state (NW corner) but highly recommend the state as for living expenses. If you can find a job anywhere here, you will love it! The one drawback for "Yankees" may be the heat / humidity. Does take a bit to get used to....but the winters are great! Who said they speak "english" here? Sure they do...if you can figure out the accent. LOL! Warm and friendly people here tho. Hope you find something here! Good luck! And let us know when you get settled somewhere...we can come visit and try some of that cheesecake I keep hearing about! Best wishes Pat and Don:thumbsup:

Don Just sent you paypal for two decals. Let me know if my address doesn't show. Hope to see you at the International Rally in Aug. AND hopefully will be driving my Venture Trike! thanks for all you do! Don

Hey Monty, sorry to hear about your son, but certainly glad he's ok. Really glad your wife took him to the dr and got him checked out. You just never know. If you guys ever need anything, don't hesitate to call me or Pat Don

sorry folks, we are not going to be able to make it. Although Pat is doing fairly well after surgery, she is not going to be able to make this trip so soon after. I have just called and canceled our reservations at Oberlin Inn, so if someone needs a room, there should be one available. I think we had a room with a king size bed. Will miss everyone and all the fun (and cheesecakes!)...but hope we can now make it to the International Rally in August. Don

Don Just wanted to let you know that Pat and I signed up for MD last year and have a reservation at the Oberlin Inn...however...Pat has to have surgery Friday and depending on the outcome and her recovery, whether we make it or not. Will let you know, but it may not be until the 1st of June before we know anything for sure. Sorry for the inconvenience. We were really looking forward to seeing you and the Mrs again. Keep your fingers crossed! Don & Pat

Hey Jim, I consider you a friend of mine too. It was great meeting you and Pat at Bill and Linda's M&E. Don PS. I still think you ate more fish, LOL!
-
Thanks to you and Linda. Jason and I had a great time. Just got a call from him saying he made it home and to thank you all again for your great hospitality. It was great meeting new friends and seeing new places. Hope to see everyone at the Hub in August. Don

I got home a couple hours ago. Thanks to Bill and Linda for a great time. This was my first meet n eat (not counting MD) and hopefully not the last. Really enjoyed meeting everyone there. The forecast had not been too good, but except for one morning of rain, it turned out great. Made it all the way home without rain. Not sure that my son was so lucky. Have not heard yet if he made it home, but the weather there did not look so good. Bill and Linda have a great home and we couldn't have asked for a better host and hostess. Thanks again! Sorry, John, I did not know about your upcoming surgery. Good luck with that. Keep us posted. Don

Bill, B2dad and son will be leaving in the morning and checking into RR also. Will see you at Cracker Barrel for dinner. They are all so excited. I, on the other hand, have to work. Will have to catch you next time. I am praying they can make it up there between the rain drops too. Everyone ride safe! and have some fun too! Someone take pictures so I can see all the fun afterwards! I know everyone will have a great time there. Patti

That is really great news all around, Cindy. We are so happy for you. Keep up the faith. Sorry I won't see you at Bill's this weekend, but B2dad will be there with our son. I, unfortunately, have to work. Have a great weekend! Patti
