Re: Great Get Together!
Fantastic rally!!! As always, the Chief (aka Lobo aka Earl) and I had the best of times with our "trike family"--including the new members. Fun events, exhilarating rides, and of course, the obligatory and hilarious swapping of stories in the evenings around the virtual campfire.
We came home to (1) the threat of Tropical Storm Debby, who ended up heading east--whew, and (2) the threat of a wildfire, for which we evacuated our home yesterday. Back home now--no damage--but it's been a roller coaster re-entry! Now that things have calmed down, we can really savor our great memories and begin counting down to next year's gathering. Hope to see all of you again next June!

Re: Great Get Together!
I, too want to say thanks for a wonderful Rally! I really enjoyed seeing all my friends and meeting new ones. I am also settling down right now for the first time since getting home. Over running sewer holding tanks need attention! UGH! Several bad storms here with trees and fencing down. Wish I was in MV!

Re: Great Get Together!
Is always a good time and great to see everyone again. Sorry that I didn't get a chance to mingle much. Spent most of my time sleeping. I think the bike saw a few hours of sunshine out of the trailer and that's it, yes.. got razzed for that too :D. I had been to 5 states in 4 days on business and was just tuckered out.
So for everyone that thought I was stuck up or dodging them.. not true at all. I was still working in the room via remote. Ughhh... the dog days of summer!

I may go GW too Wiz. My bikes sitting at Shenandoah HD in Staunton, Va. right now with a bad inner primary bearing. I noticed a whining noise while riding in MV. It would stop when I pulled in the clutch and put it in gear. When we got up here, I unloaded it for a ride up the Skyway and it was getting louder. Since my factory warranty runs out in two weeks, I took it to SHD. The service manager said it was the primary bearing as soon as he started it. The part's came in today. I should have it back tomorrow. It's got 26,488 miles on it.

I agree. Why buy another bike? You can only ride one at a time.:D

Thats a bummer, the bearing sure should last longer then 26k. Every once in a while I think about picking up a 2 wheel Wing to ride and decide if I would like to trike it.

Sure can't dispute the fact they are dependable. I don't understand Why Honda doesn't build a factory trike?
My Factory warranty runs out next week. Annette asked what I thought about buying a three year extended one. I said, I'll just put that money aside with the thought if it breaks again, I'll use that money to fix it and sell it. Three strikes your outta here. I've always been that way with auto's. You strand me three times and your gone.

Skuut....Was lucky to borrow a skateboard.
Not going to Trike the CVO, I'll find a skateboard to borrow first
IB..I saw you but just couldn't get to you although I wanted to. One minute you were there and when I was done you were gone.
Ron... sorry to hear of the bad bearing. They will fix it and get you back on the road soon, yes?
Charlie is telling us we are off topic.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.
