Got a bra for my birthday
I rode to work and when I got home, my wife had a nice new set of fender bras for the Trike. Going to install in a few days, since tomorrow is actually my birthday
Hey Tom! Happy Birthday! Next year I hope you two can make it to the Hill Country TrikeTalk gathering. Thoughts are of changing it to a spring date from fall... stay tuned for more info!

Won a free oil change for my HOG club mileage contest. Went to the dealer today and had my oil changed. Also did the 15000 mi. check. The dealer said the tranny oil was migrating to the primary. 13 OZ. They also did the Factory vent recall while I was there. Good for another 5000 Miles.

Put on a heated Mustang seat today. Then I spent 2 hours trying to put the rear seat bolt on. I guess I will try again tomorrow. Also need to pick up a '19 accessories connector to hook up the seat. This was the first time I'd taken off the seat, probably explains why the seat bolt was laying on the frame instead of being installed:-) Need to finish, it's getting cold even here in Amarillo
Hi Training Wheels
I have had that problem with the seat bolt also. I had to learned the hard way. That not all after market seats fit with the passenger grab handles on. Some times they have to be removed !
Mustang claims that it fits. Also, the bolt was laying lose with the original seat on it. I'll have to put the original seat on and see how it fits.
After switching to an Ultimate Tall Boy Seat, it's 1" longer than stock, it became very difficult to see behind it and hard get that short stock seat bolt started in the tighter space . Solved the problem by getting an extended height Revco Seat Knob. Some have also made similar diy versions.Put on a heated Mustang seat today.

Rode It
For the first time in a couple weeks, I actually had nobody to "take care of" ... including me.
I decided it might be a good idea to go for a ride on the trike to keep the wheels round and the battery charged. It was a bit chilly, like 48*, but, who knows when I will be alone with my self in the foreseeable future.
So I bundled up and headed out to fire the Fat Bottom Girl up. I must admit, I had some trepidations wondering if a couple weeks sitting in the cooler temps (we have been as low as 20* during that period) and not knowing when the battery was installed (a new one is on the to do list, but, with mom going down just hasn't gotten done .. now that winter is here, probably gonna be in the spring), that maybe the FGB might be cranky and not start. I worried for nothing. She fired right up and ran great. Did about 20 miles and put her back in the garage.
Felt good to be back on her again ... but I still have stuff to do before winter sets in (too late) ... did drain and refill the hot tub today ... so that's something off the list.
Got the Tri all serviced . Changed the windshield from Freedom ( now in the dumpster) to an older LRS with no scratches back on. Washed it & thinking about the ceramic, Nucseal told me about. Also put a new screen protector on. (also another Nucseal copy). I like it when friends try something & then tell about it with pics showing end result. Thanks again Pat
Oh yeah, took off the tank lift kit. Just didn't care for them.

+1 on the ceramic sealer ... just ordered some for the new to me Jeep ... it is really great stuff ... at least so far ... LOL ... not sure it will last 2 years, but, even if it's just a year, it cuts down on my work load to keep the vehicles clean.
