I used to check in almost every day, was active in the chatroom. Since Vic went on that last big ride, haven't come in as often. Mrs. Vicco

My problem, by the time I can come into chat, everyone else is gone. Need to prompt some West Coasters or those who like to stay up late. Mrs. Vicco

Mrs. Vicco here. I am so sorry to hear of your losses. You have my deepest condolences and my prayers that you get through this. Since losing Vicco last year, I now know what pain death causes and I hurt for you.

Apparently they got the fire out quickly.

Just saw on KVAL news that there is a fire just 5 miles west of The Dalles. That's right where we had the 2014 Venture West Rally. The fire is in the Chenowith district, which is what the area where the restaurant and motel are located. So far, the fire is 100 acres. Hope it doesn't get too big or out of control. A lot will depend on the weather. It's really dry up that way right now and it's always windy. Both things are bad for dealing with wild fires.

Thanks for the information!

For those who were asking, the trike has just under 21,000 miles on it.

I hope this works. It should be the link to the build picture album in Photobucket. Will give you some idea of the work that went into building the trike.

It's a 1989, Vic designed, engineered, and built the trike himself. He bought a body since he didn't feel like hassling with the mess fibreglass makes (though he's very capable of doing it) and had the axles custom machined for length and splining. Not sure how many miles. Will have to go out to the shop sometime and take a look.

Another picture showing both of us on it.

Here's one picture of the trike right after we got it done.

I'm in the chatroom right now. Will stick around for a while.

I'm so sorry to hear this. My heartfelt condolences to the family. They will be in my thoughts and prayers.

When I know a few hours in advance that I'll be able to chat, I'll let you know and you can stay a little later.

Mrs. Vicco here. I'd love to chat with you folks sometime, but by the time my day is over and I can relax with some conversation, everyone has left the room. I'm here on the west coast so my chat time would start at about 6 or 7 pm, my time which is 9-10 your time. Maybe there are some other west coasters out there who would like to visit sometime.
