Woody

Prayers sent it could have been much worse we are so glad you are still here to tell us what happen.

That looks great and I am curious about the ride and handling

that's very nice, you da man

I know about living in the woods and leaves are every where, we use the leaf blower to get them away from the house then use the Z-turn with the mulching kit and turn them into powder.

my in-laws have an 2008 he would like a reverse but has learned where to park and hasn't gotten stuck yet. Keep us informed on the progress we will be interested to know. What brand tires did you put on the back?

You are welcome and anytime just holler, we gonna do a different ride tomorrow wish you were here.

The front end felt better but I'm not sure it was the bearings played a lot in what I was feeling because I also had the new tire on but I could feel a difference in the harshness of the road and also the front axle was way to tight when I removed it, I tried it with a ratchet, then my small 1/2 inch drive air impact then I brought out the big Milwaukee impact before I got it to break loose I believe it was in a bind before the new tire.

Okay got a chance yesterday to get the new off of the Michelin Road Classic tire, Mike and Shirley came over and we enjoyed a 170 mile ride through some of Alabama's country side. I think I am going to like this tire we tried it out at all speeds and road conditions. Good friends and a good ride on a motorcycle equals a great day to be alive.

Google says it is today and I think we will make a three day event out of it, Had a great ride yesterday of about 170 miles mostly back roads and country with some good friends we will see what today and tomorrow holds in store for us.

Depends on if we are going somewhere she wants to go or not

Hey Joe how are you and Bobbi doing hope all is well at your place.

That's true with the Hannigan it will move faster than my wife can push. 🤣

That's looks good, I try not to use the reverse on my wing because it utilizes the starter motor so you become more aware of where you park

Hope everyone is alright, and it looks like it may head in your direction Be safe

okay I didn't say anything until I found out what was up but when I took off the front wheel and inspected the bearings I found one with no seal and one that was very hard to turn. there are four bearings or two sets and on one side I could tell that they were from different manufactures but they were the correct size, I was having trouble understanding why a wheel with only 7,000 miles on it showed signs of the bearings being changed out. So I contacted the previous owner and he says he sent the wheel to California to get it chromed and that they must have pulled the bearings to chrome it. I did replace all four bearings with the correct size and with metal seals don't know if that will be better or worse, and they are not the sets like Honda sells they are the individual bearings. What's your thoughts should these bearing be just fine?

It's a team effort everybody shows up for a good time and it happens, Hope we can all do it again

You only said that because it's true 😁

It is Trike related, but the theory would be the same now how it would handle on a two wheeler I don't know

you get a lot more miles, most have a flatter contact patch on the road. reversing it put the carcus plies in the correct direction in order to make the tire stronger and not separate. When the tire is used on the rear most of forces on the tire are on acceleration and when it is on the front most of the forces come from braking.

I know of several that run a car tire on the back of a two wheeler but I don't recall anyone putting one on the front of a trike but I would be interested in hearing about it.

Hopefully I'll get to put some miles on it today or tomorrow and see how it feels, the guy at the bike shop wants to know how many miles I get out of it I hope he ant in no hurry

While we were at Asheville I noticed the front tire was getting close and then we went to Maggie Valley and by the end of it I knew I needed a front tire. Well we got it mounted and installed yesterday it is a Michelin Road Classic rear tire in reverse so we gonna give it a try.

Nice wish I had been there

Did you have the wife on board? the last time you had the bad head shake she was with you so that could have made a difference and no you don't have to tell her I said that. My in-laws trike does it mainly after hitting a bump at slow speeds but I think it's his front tire
