  1. I did the same on Friday, trac-vac put away, mower deck stowed, snow blower on the tractor, all that is left is to put on the tire chains. But not today, today the bike gets center stage [emoji3] going for a ride somewhere. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  2. Hey Puc did Yahoo get the surf board out on those breakers? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  3. I'm not sure, I always do it with no hands !
  4. I've been looking over that Tourstart site, it's based out of Denmark but has some nice features like being able to upload a custom route to my Garmin.
  5. I've been using motorcycleroads web site for years, lots of good ride info there.
  6. I've ridden over Beartooth at least 30 times on several different trips out there. The real fun of Beartooth is riding many of the small spur roads that branch off the main highway, some will take you up another 1000 feet or more, they are dirt & gravel so if you are not comfortable on those loose, inclined surfaces stay on the blacktop. I do have the advantage of having a close friend that lives just 15 miles from the pass, he makes a great tour guide, he knows the mountain very well. Also get off the bike and hike along some of the rivers and streams, the back country up there is awesome, but you do need to be careful in some of those areas because one fall could be your last! The only sure thing up there is that the weather changes by the minute. My favorite part of the ride is to shut the engine off and coast down in silence, at the speed of gravity
  7. Since the price jumped up a few years ago I used it more often, now, only if I'm trying to solve a problem.
  8. My first car was a 1959 Triumph TR3A . It was a fun little roadster. Next was a 1968 Checker Marathon. This is still my favorite, I used to open the back door and put my Suzuki RM400 dirt bike right in the back seat area no need for a trailer. Didn't hurt that I could haul 10 friends from club to club on the weekends
  9. Great looking trike. The only weakness I see is the lack of a top trunk and the price.
  10. Glad to her you got home without fire! Still a few more week of riding to do before the big sleep!
  11. With the Aux. tank, you should be able to make the ride with 1 gas stop. 7.5 hours is very do-able on the trike. Be prepared to move the handlebars to suit your comfort. Longer days in the saddle are much easier on 3 wheels, especially in windy or wet weather.
  12. Jeannie and I did our part and we'll do it again tomorrow.
  13. Thanks everyone, it had never showed up before on any forums I go to, so I wasn't sure if something had changed on the forum that needed my attention. I am running Norton & chrome. Thanks
  14. Don, Took this screen shot , what's the plugin at the top? I've never seen that before @Freebird
  15. Liked and Done , nice videos
  16. Get a set of Carbon One's passenger arm rests, you're going to need them while Kim rides you around the country.
  17. First thing that stands out in the pics is the lowers, as was said already, something doesn't look right there, I'd ask seller for more detailed photos. The floorboards should have no effect on the location of the lowers. Low speed handling problems usually are due to loose neck bearings or shocks set to soft. The bolts that secure the drive shaft to the rear end sometimes loosen and go missing, causing a drive line vibration. Depending on build date of the trike, there may be some issues with rear brake rotors and pads being mis-matched causing accelerated brake wear. Go to the trike forum here and do a little reading. Lot's of good info in there. Consider,,, there is no aux fuel tank, you'll want to add them. Carbon One makes a nice aux tank Another nice thing to add is a set of Flanders G2 handle bars with either longer braided steel or stock RSTD cables. Up to $700 depending on what cable set you use.
  18. Craig, you saw ours at the motel in NY. It's an 08 and had 10,000 miles on it when we picked it up 3 years ago for 13.5 So all I got to say is sometimes "to good to be true" isn't,,,
  19. Puc, them thar are city chickens, the best way to catch them is with M-80's
  20. When It freezes the moonshine!

    Beware!

    The 08' RSV Hannigan trike we bought for almost 10K below market was a craigslist ad, it was 12 hours south of us and with the help of a few folks here, we were able to get an awesome trike at a great price. As with any purchase, it's BUYER BEWARE and DUE DILIGENCE Not all ad's that seem to be too good to be true , are,,,
  25. Looking forward to your impressions on the new lights. And don't forget the PICTURES !!!
