I saw your Freewheeler parked on the main drag in Fredericksburg one weekend. There were so many people in town that I knew if I stopped I would never find you and your wife so I didn't. I was hoping to see you both in Kerrville.Originally Posted by RedOregon
Your trike looks great.

Thanks! Always a possibility that we could possibly make it, but pretty slim.
2024 Tri Glide! Only modifications so far - transferred Rider backrest from old 2015 Freewheeler, just added highway pegs!
I have had a busy week of this & that & it has not included riding my FW. The poor girl has been in the garage for days, all alone on the Battery Tender. I know I'm riding Sunday to my Granddaughters Birthday party, but may try for a Saturday ride also.

HEY!!! I can FINALLY post to this thread MDO!!!
Went for a 100+ mile RIDE today on the Free-Chopper... it was a beautiful day for it. Went out into the Missouri river area in Calhoun County Illinois and just burned up some gas getting to know my long time coming trike.
The new cam (Woods x22) is great. Lots of torque through 90% of the RPM range. The Progressive shocks handles potholes and rough pavement much better than the stock shocks. 19" rise apes were a non-issue on the twisty turny roads.
The new saddle is thinner in the drivers seat so you sit lower so the backrest from the "hump" style seat has as good an effect as my OEM backrest had.
I did have to keep the MPH at 60 or below or the fenders (that are still on the trike) start to get nervous... but that is ok by me 60 MPH is fine until winter
All in all a great re-acquaintance ride.
Good to hear you got out for a ride on the beautiful day. Watch out for the stunt riders in town this weekend. I'm staying away from downtown roads.

Have not ridden at all this season, yet, because ohealth issues. I even joined the American Legion and American Legion Riders earlier this year.

May God bless you with better health so you can make up for this season soon.

All I have done the last week is go to the garage and look at my FW. My "on again, off again" back is giving me fits again and I have been unable to ride. Hope it clears up in time for the Kerrville gathering. Been looking forward to that for months but not looking too good right now. Curses!

Danny, I hope you are able to ride to Kerrville. Take care of yourself.

I'm a bad Grandpa. I had time & turned my 35 mile ride to my sons into a 60 mile ride.
My Freewheeler is 15 miles shy of 12,000 miles & running great!

My wife and I rode 90 miles yesterday. Three months ago she could barely get moving from a stop. Now she zips along the highway and rolls through the twisties.

I haven't seen mine in 2 days. I just got home from a 2 day stay at my local VA Hospital.
I got home & it started storming. I hope all our friends/members in the south Texas are safe. I feel bad many are going through a 2nd. round of flooding in 2 years.

Are you OK?

I have heart failure. I have for a dozen years & it does not normally cause big problems. I was just real fatigued all week & short of breath, so I went in Thursday morning & they admitted me & gave me some IV meds. I feel a lot better now that I'm home. Hopefully I'm good for another 10 years.
We are about done with the 90 hot days, so I am ready to get some riding in after our weekend storms.
