Dothan MotorTrike Man

[Calman]

Was in Dothan today and met the "head cheese" himself, his "boss" and his ace mechanic today. Very nice visit and get a few things done to the Shadow.

Thanks Randy. Thanks Chet

Then you had a good day, Cal! Did you leave the Shadow there?

[Calman]

Nope didn't leave the trike. Chet bled the rear brakes for me and it seemed to clear up the problem. However, I lost them again as I was going into Ocean Springs, MS.

Local MT guy in Ocean Springs (Boyce at BCN) looked at 'em and said it appears the cap on the master cylinder is leaking air. Also said there is no local source for the cap. Have to get from MT in Troup. Have altered my travel plans and will go through MT in Troup to get the rear brakes fixed on Monday

Otherwise, this trip is going good. Just dodged a storm in the Gulf Coast of MS yesterday so I've been rain-free (except for a couple of sprinkles-enough to clear the windshield) since I left home on Monday.

Other than the rear brake issue the 750 Shadow has been running like a champ. Cruising 65-75 MPH without a hitch in its gitty-up.

Great to meet you too Cal. Where you at now?

[Calman]

I'm at Fort Polk in Louisana until oh-early thirty Monday. Hope to be at MT when they open on Monday.

Be careful without good brakes, Calman!

[Calman]

Got rear brakes again. At least yesterday and still this AM. Stopped in Troup and Richard bled the lines, adjusted the actuator (?), etc. and they worked fine. Worked fine the couple of times I had to use them yesterday afternoon - especially getting through two 3-SUV rear-enders in Dallas.

Foggy in Dectur, TX this AM so am staying put until the fog burns off in another hour or two.
