You folks look great JetDoc, very nice looking, hope you were able to get a few miles under you.
We did 100 miles yesterday before I had to come home and spend some more time reading the owner's manuals. I'm starting to get the hang of this trike thing, but I'm sure it will take many more miles before I'm completely comfortable on it. It's supposed to be a nice, sunny day today with temps up in the 60's. Got several things I need to do today, but I hope to get in a few more miles before it starts cooling off again.

put in my new clutch (Barnett +1 ) finally got a good clutch set up! 480 AIM spring and a clutch wiz. holds the power of the s.e. 110 with out slipping under a heavy load. HAPPY, Happy, happy
Removed the little rubber parking brake pedal and replaced it with a chrome and rubber small brake pad cover. fits like a glove. looks like HD knew what they were doing with it. Rubber strips even line up with the rider and passenger footpegs.

Just beginning our ride together
I rode it!!! First time since November. But she fired right up and run like a top.
It's raining today, so I'm going to leave the trike at home and drive the car to the big annual Northwest motorcycle show and sale at the Spokane fairgrounds. The wife and I did about 100 mile loop around Spokane yesterday, and then dropped by the local Harley shop and spent more of my children's inheritance on chrome!
Got some highway pegs so I can stretch my legs out once in a while when we're riding. If the rain keeps up, I'll spend the rest of the day in the workshop installing the pegs and the helmet mikes for the intercom.

This has been a busy and expensive winter. Back in November I put an color matched inner fairing along with Dakota Digital blue gauges. Thought I was done but then I realized I needed another Chrome fix. I have every piece of Chrome that Kuryakyn makes for the engine area so now I decided to move to other places. Yesterday I just unpacked some more chrome that Willy Shiny sent to me. I have the complete set of rims, Polished floating roters, polished axle spacers, baby moons for the rear wheels and the chrome upper and lower forks. It took about two hours to remove all my old stuff from my 14 trike. Now I'm taking the parts to my local HD dealer to have him change out the tires and swap out the fork components. Hopefully he will get this done by this weekend and I will put her back together. She looks funny sitting up on my J&S jack with no tires or forks.

I didn't work on the trike except check tire pressure. I did a 20 mile shake-down ride before heading out to Orlando; 419 miles one day. Should be good weather.
Great people are common people who have committed themselves to uncommon goals.

Another rainy day in North Idaho. I tried to install my new "Genuine Harley" highway pegs this morning and found I didn't have the right tools for the job. Had to go visit my local Ace Hardware store to find an allen wrench that would fit the big screws at the ends of the peg mounting kit. Who knew that Genuine Harley parts would need metric tools to install...

Just got back from two weeks in Daytona, stayed across the road from the ocean. You would not believe the damn salt problems. Rusted tail pipe and gen tail pipe on my motorhome just as am example. I put new windshield wipers on before the trip and the "new" bolts and nuts are rusted to hell and back in just two weeks, chrome license plate trim ruined. Thank god I put the trike in the trailer every night. Will start today to wash everything top to bottom. Never again will I stay that close to the sea, we stay in Myrtle Beach five or six months a year but not that close and never a problem. The Daytona bike week was bigger than Myrtle Beach bike week but I like Myrtle Beach better.
So what did I do to my trike today...clean clean clean...
