  1. People who blow their nose in restraunts. GO TO THE F#@*ing BATHROOM!!!
  2. Only A Grandmother would know Had to share… A Cup of Tea made with cold water. One day my Grandma was out, and my Grandpa was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys. Grandpa was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Grandma came home. My Grandpa made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' Grandma waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Grandpa, and she watched him drink it up. Then she said, (as only a grandma would know), "'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"
  3. Have you tried contacting Hannigan? http://www.hannigantrikes.com/contact-us/
  4. Your MPG is going to take a noticeable hit. If I had to save money somewhere, I would forget the boards and reverse and go with the aux. tank. But yea, you can just carry a can or plan on more fuel stops. Whatever it takes to keep the knees in the breeze. You might consider one of the bolt on kits to save some dough but haveing rode with you and knowing how you like to get in it, I think you'd be happier with a "real" trike. The handling of my RSV/Hannigan is superb.
  5. Well, forget my suggestion to call Hannigan then. I stand by my suggestion to post your problem over on Trike Talk tho.
  6. I never let work interfere with a cold beer. Wish we were already there too.
  7. I would get in touch with Hannigan. Also loads of trike info at http://www.triketalk.com/forum/forum.php?. Maybe someone will have knowledge of your problem. You can contact Hannigan directley from the site too.
  8. Also, Hannigan will not sell to the public. They want there products installed by techs they train, but they stand behind their product 100%. There is no company with better customer service.
  9. You can do without reverse if your carefull how you park. I have the boards and reverse. I can back up with out reverse if I'm on level ground. If you pull in front wheel up hill it coast backwards easy. The boards make it hard to to reach the ground to push yourself backwards. There have been a hand full of times I was glad I got the reverse but I could have done without. In the end, no you dont NEED either one but I'm glad I got both. I do highly recomend the aux. fuel tank.
  10. Some of us still have to work. We'll be headed that way around 14:00 Friday. Shirley and I will be staying at the Seasons Inn Friday and Saturday night.
  11. My installer charged me exactly what it says on the web site less $500 for being a vet.
  12. When I decided to go to three wheels I went to the local Hannigan installer and he let me ride a couple of trikes he had there so I could be sure I wanted to go to a trike. Both were wings. I put about 50 miles on each. That was enough to convince me I was ready for a trike but it sure wasn't going to be a wing. Gawd those things are uncomfortable. Had him do the conversion on my 09-S and have to agree with you. The RSV just may be the perfect platform for a trike. Congrats on the new trike. Shes beautiful.
  13. Thanks for the reminder. We have 3 that need refilling.
  14. On your bike? Sure. I'd be afraid of sinking mine.
  15. I havent had poisen ivy since I was a young boy but remember it well. I steer waaaaayyyy clear of that stuff. The first thing that came to mind when I read the title was........... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8Q3ywwAGoVChMI9-jRgdKCxwIVhCoeCh1PGQKz&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZRfRITVdz4k&ei=p_u5Vbf5LYTVeM-yiJgL&usg=AFQjCNGPAarOD8UYSqWeT5EELXUxewA5dw&sig2=f8B5gto6PXnr5eNB1dK1zA
  16. What!!!!??? No Beer? Fugitaboutit. I aint coming if threre aint no beer. Can't come this weekend anyway. Doc says Shirley cant ride for another week. Think I'll just stay here and drink.
  17. "Backfiring when throttle down - Carbs recently rebuilt, 3 tanks Premium gas with cleaner, still does it - is this normal?" These engines a designed to run on regular. I don't know if premium will make it backfire or not, but your not doing yourself any favors either.
  18. If a Harley is what you want, Hannigan makes a conversion for them too. http://www.hannigantrikes.com/products/harley-davidson-flh-hannigan-transformer/ Personally, I'd choose that over the TG. If you cant tell, I'm very impressed with Hannigan.
  19. I have never rode a TG so I can't confirm that the RSV/Hannigan is a better ride but can say the RSV/Hannigan is a VERY good ride and very stable. It handles the twisties like it's on rails. I have had a lot of cruisers give up chasing me through the mtns and I wasn't even trying hard. I did lift the right rear one day on a 90* turn. I was actually trying to raise it and it took some effort. This thing is an absolute blast to ride.
  20. Y uh huh! Fastest tricycle I ever rode. We're loving this thing.
  21. Not to mention, the sting from a honey bee is a lot more painful than the sting from an earth worm.
  22. If you were closer you could ride mine. I love this thing. If you liked the Harley I have no doubt you'll love the RSV with a Hannigan conversion.
  23. Yep! And when you get off, you can throw it in the tour pack or saddle bag. They dry rather quickly if they do get wet too.
  24. Sheep skins don't have to be big and funky. Alaska leather, and I'm sure other manufacturers, custom make them for different seats. That coupled with moisture wicking underwear keeps monkey but away here in the hot humid south.
