Trike finders: Antennas

[Konrad]

In a large, filled parking lot it is sometimes difficult to remember exactly which row you parked your trike in. Fortunately the antennas on the GL1800 are pretty tall and if they were not so thin would be an easy location aid.

Other than the usual tennis ball stuck on the tip, does anyone have any ideas? Either do it yourself method or third-party product?

Quite often i also forget where i park in a large parking lot , So i just wait till everyone else leaves and then look for the only Trike left.

Generally, I don't have an issue with parking. I'll either try and park as close to the front as I can, taking up two spaces if possible, or I'll park a LONG way away to keep those errant door slammers away. Again, taking up two spaces......

I have a special key for just such occasions........LOL

I love to see someone taking up two parking spaces! I pull my old beater p/u in as close as possible on the left side and call a friend to park his just as close on the right. Then we sit in front of the store with a cold drink and watch the fun!

If you haven't already then someday you are going to find your trike trashed because you took up 2 spaces.

I just press the red call button on my remote... horn honks, lights flash, what more do you need?

First off - I'm deaf. Second, Superman I'm not - can't see through all the cages surrounding the trike. But you arfe the only one who even came close to an answer.

The only thing I can recall seeing on trike or bike antennas is little flags -- usually POW-MIA and/or a US flag.

You're all missing the easy solution for finding your trike. When in big parking lots, I just write down on whatever scrap of paper is in a pocket the location. Most mega lots have those signs up on poles. I got used to doing that since I travel for a loving and being in rental cars a lot strains the memory. I might also make note of what is on building at beginning of row.
And, of course, never pull all the way into the spot. Don't want some cater whipping in thinking there is nobody there.

While at Ameriacde one year,some "friends"decided to play a joke on me and went to a ladies store and bought the largest size bra they could find.While parked at the vendors area and I was away,they tied the huge bra between the antennas of the wing then hid to watch and take photos when the wife and I returned.We all had a good laugh and I removed the bra and put it in the trunk.
Later that evening we all rode to the top of the mountain for the fireworks display and ther were 1000's of bikes showing up and I thought how am I going to find this bike after the show is over.Yep,got the bra out and again tied it to the antennas.
Okay not too exciting right?
Well 2 young ladies,riding Harleys pulled in along side us and parked and asked about the bra.I told them so I could find the bike after the show.They thought this was a great idea,so,right there in front of my wife and I,the lifted their tops and removed their bras and tied them over the windsheilds of their Harleys.
Was hoping to get back to the bikes and watch them re-dress however they were already gone so I guess they found their bikes ok.
Just one example where a Honda rider and 2 Harley riders could share ideas.
That was a real good Americade that year!!

There is a iPhone app for locating your parked vehicle...FYI

We have a Disney antenna topper on all our vehicles. It stands out. Cheap fix. Tom

Found one for $.99 - Horrible reviews!

Really was hoping for something like an ultra-lightweight LED flasher that would take the place of the tip and that I could turn on with my remote.

I am going out and buy a big bra.

Neither I nor my wife for the life of us will remember where I parked the trike or car in a lot.
But as soon as I say where I think we parked, being male I will of course be wrong, and I will immediatly be told where to go to find the vehicle.

Excuse me, I'lll be duckin' & runnin' now.
