[QUOTE=RedOregon;696751]Thanks, but weekdays are tough...[/QUOTE]
I saw your Freewheeler parked on the main drag in Fredericksburg one weekend. There were so many people in town that I knew if I stopped I would never find you and your wife so I didn't. I was hoping to see you both in Kerrville.
Your trike looks great.

Thanks! Always a possibility that we could possibly make it, but pretty slim.
I have had a busy week of this & that & it has not included riding my FW. The poor girl has been in the garage for days, all alone on the Battery Tender. I know I'm riding Sunday to my Granddaughters Birthday party, but may try for a Saturday ride also.
HEY!!! I can FINALLY post to this thread MDO!!!
Went for a 100+ mile RIDE today on the Free-Chopper... it was a beautiful day for it. Went out into the Missouri river area in Calhoun County Illinois and just burned up some gas getting to know my long time coming trike.
The new cam (Woods x22) is great. Lots of torque through 90% of the RPM range. The Progressive shocks handles potholes and rough pavement much better than the stock shocks. 19" rise apes were a non-issue on the twisty turny roads.
The new saddle is thinner in the drivers seat so you sit lower so the backrest from the "hump" style seat has as good an effect as my OEM backrest had.
I did have to keep the MPH at 60 or below or the fenders (that are still on the trike) start to get nervous... but that is ok by me 60 MPH is fine until winter
All in all a great re-acquaintance ride.

Good to hear you got out for a ride on the beautiful day. Watch out for the stunt riders in town this weekend. I'm staying away from downtown roads.

Have not ridden at all this season, yet, because ohealth issues. I even joined the American Legion and American Legion Riders earlier this year.

May God bless you with better health so you can make up for this season soon.
All I have done the last week is go to the garage and look at my FW. My "on again, off again" back is giving me fits again and I have been unable to ride. Hope it clears up in time for the Kerrville gathering. Been looking forward to that for months but not looking too good right now. Curses! :mad:
