Freebird

Well, I went ahead and ordered the Caro Edge. Expensive but I wanted the longer range. Ordered straight from Cardo. They are still having a 22% off Valentines sale so ended up being cheaper than anybody else.

Yes, and I don’t know which models of Cardo have the DMC. I’ll have to take another look. Maybe they all do.

Oh. That will absolutely without a doubt be her responsibility. Maybe.

Yea, that’s what I thought. Now to decide if I want to spend over $500.00. Actually considering the Freedom series. It might be fine for our use.

Well we picked up Eileen’s trike today. She had never ridden a trike and asked me to ride it home. It was about an hour away and mostly 75. - 80 MPH on the turnpike. Temperatures were in the mid to high 50’s so brisk but not cold. The bike rides nice. I was a bit concerned because Harley trikes all have solid rear axels. It wasn’t as smooth as the RSV trike but handled surprisingly well. It is a bit lighter trike than most and the M8 107 engine feels very strong. First time in years that road a bike without full upper fairing and lowers and it was very windy today. It has a big windshield but I still got a lot of wind. When we got it home, i got on my bike and with her on the trike, we went for a short ride. She loves it but was more than a bit nervous. It will take some time. Hopefully she will stick with it and get comfortable on it.

Looks like Packtalk Bold is discontinued. Not sure which model replaced it.

Yea, I know. I’ve been that way all my life. Guess I’m too old to change.

Well, God willing and the creek doesn't rise Eileen and I will be there. Just reserved a cabin at the Fin and Feathrr. Sure hope to see you all there.

Looking for recommendations for bike to bike communications without breaking the bank. I know that Sean and Carlo ar about the most popular but also expensive. What do you that have them recommend? I basically just want cokm8jnicaitons between my wife and I and for her to be able to stream music from her phone to her headset.

LOL....that's ok my friend. I didn't expect a lot of love here for the Harley. Most people here know that I've bounced back and forth over the years between the Venture and the Harely. I love them both.

LOL.....it may be a bit cool for that. Most direct route is about an hour. She wants me to get home quick so she can hopefully take e a little ride before it gets too cold. Temps are supposed to drop again after tomorrow.

I understand. My wife hasn't ridden with me in q while except a couple of very short rides. Her health hasn't been good but she has wanted her own trike for a while now and got really excited about getting one a month or so ago. So I finally saved in and bought her one. Not sure how long before she decides it's not doable but we'll see.

It was 33 degrees today so I told them we would pick it up Wednesday when it’s supposed to be in the 50’s. I hope it is because she wants me to ride it home. About an hour away.

Eileen has been on my back for several weeks about a trike for HER. She finally wore me down so we went shopping. I wasn't really against it but just worry that her health will keep her from riding but she turned an old argument that I have used a few times about my bucket list right around on me. So, Eileen is now the rider of a 2017 Harely Freewheeler,. M8 107 engine. Pretty stock except for some custom grips and the luggage rack. 13,000 miles.

That is my opinion.

OK folks, the winner ofd the bell, patch, and decal is none other than Sleepy2. Congrats.

I don’t think so. The conversion is done because it is said to improve handling. My only experience with it was on a trike and it definitely improved handling. Did not lower the front. I think the handling difference is a combination of a narrower tire and less weight.

Nice looking bike.

Sorry. You’ve got me mixed up with somebody else. I’ve never run a car tire.

lol. That’s not fair. My current ride. The picture was taken right after I brought ir home. I've added a few small things like riders backrest, highway pegs, Clearview windshield, etc. since then.

We'll let this one run for about a week. Lets say Saturday the 17th around noon.

OK folks, I'm going to do another give away. This is for a new VentureRider Guardian Bell. These have been sold out for a while and there is not enough demand to re-order due to the minimum quantity required. But I ran across one and decided to give it away here.. This one is easy enough. Simply post a picture of your current bike and you will be entered in the random drawing. EDIT: I'm going to also throw in a VentureRider small patch and a VentureRider domed decal.

Hope the surgeries are a complete success. We will miss you if you leave. Take care my friend.

Jay, Steve Wagner passed away several years ago. That’s why they are getting rare. Somebody else may need to weigh in but there are little eyes molded in on the back. If I remember correctly, you just insert nylon ties through them.

OK...a bit late but we have a winner. The lucky witnner is Ragtop. Congratulations.
