Yes.... I was out in the same weather...
Bad for my fenders as they are in the raw.... But I wanted to test drive the clearance before paint.
No issues with rubbing.... probably significant issues with surface oxidation by tomorrow with the drizzle....
I like cool weather rides though....
GPS
Installed a 5" GPS/NAV unit from FOD SPORTS and found after wiring unit to a ign. accessory/on wire,the unit which has a internal battery would not power down with its on/off switch. Now,have to go through e-bays return policy to get another or a refund.Since I already have the trike wired for unit,I will probably opt for another GPS unit from seller which will be another 2 week wait.
I do to. I could handle the cool temps, but that cold drizzle was not fun!Originally Posted by Free Bird

Winterizing
First 1" snowfall this morning. Clean and check tightness of battery terminals (have heated clothing wiring attached), applied battery anti corrosive. Topped off fuel after adding sta bil. Heart rendering, but winter in North East a fact of life. 28° - 30mph wind gusts
I got my clutch recall done today. It was too cold to notice any difference.

Today, before the snow started, I put the battery tender on, covered it up with my Goodwill king sheet & tucked her in till Friday.

Mine is more like "The Night Before Christmas" ....Today, before the snow started, I put the battery tender on, covered it up with my Goodwill king sheet & tucked her in till Friday.
"I took off my helmet, My Jacket unsnapped
And my trike settled into a long Winter's nap...."
Stripped it down and sent parts to paint
Found out today the paint wont be finished until January....

Very.... Check out her Instagram page (Crazy Horse Paint). She re-did a 70's TransAm with the bird and all...it is awesome. She is doing a flame job on a Camero next, then my trike.
I don't do Instagram, but I did find the website. Nice work.

Here is my photoshopped version of things to come...(note the lettering will not be pink... could not fix that shade for some reason)
Nothing today, but I'm thinking about it.
33° here in STL today, but 53 on Wednesday, so I will be doing a pre-ride check in preparation for my Thanksgiving day ride to my youngest sons house for the family thing. It was 55 & sunny last year also, so we are lucky.

If you are out and about on Sunday, swing by Doc's after ~10:30. I am working on my trike with a tech (I know the store is closed, but we can work without interruption during their downtime). Fitting up the new front end and bars and laying out final hardpoints for plumbing, wire harness etc. for the machinist to put the final touches on the trees. Here they are BTWI can't wait. I may try to get a ride in Saturday too.
I got a great ride in Thursday. The after recall operation of the clutch is improved, as far as clutch pull effort needed.
We are having rain all afternoon & evening, with a beautiful day forcast for Saturday, with sun and 64°.
Another ride is in order. The next 10 days after that are not great, weather wise.

The store is open on Sunday, but the service dept. is closed. I can't make it Sunday, I am riding tomorrow.

I got a great 125 mile ride in today in 64° sunny St. Louis. I rode with my oldest son, who has a 2015 Road Glide Special with every accessory in the catalog & a 120 cu. in. beast of a motor.
The worm is turning here, weather wise. We have rain snow mix on the way for tomorrow evening & we are in the 30's for awhile. I'm putting my baby to bed for a few days.

It has been below freezing here in STL the last few days, but they are talking 64° Saturday after early rain. I will be uncovering my baby & riding, hopefully in the afternoon.
