    That's about the same thing I'm doing but it's hard not to chuck it all so I wait to make real life-changing decisions.

    I hate this Wyoming weather and have for a long time now.

    Even at 14 years old, I saw the disparity of his attitude and swore to myself that it wouldn't happen to me. That became a life lesson. You still have good memories of your shared lives to celebrate and your spouse would not want you doing otherwise, would she ?

    Being holed up in Wyoming in the winter, although it is a beautiful state, doesn't allow you to get out and about like you really need to. Spending long hours on T/T doesn't cut it either. A move might be the best for you both physically and mentally. She is going to be with you wherever you go so you really aren't running from her or your memories.

    Warmer climes is a good thing and you still have defined seasons ..... except Florida, I'd steer clear of living there B/C that's where they find all of the 'America's Most Wanted' people.

    That 127 is remarkable and reliable when left in stock configuration but may be too much torque for a 'Belt Driven Trike' operated in a spirited way.

    Still in my prayers too.

    Wanted to send you a PM, but can't !!!
    Thanks for the heartfelt message Lee, seriously as you have been a long time TT friend.

    I won't go into or debate any of the religious /philosophical sides of things, I have spent way to much time there already and have found ( absolutely nothing ) that makes any sense. There are no answers.

    All it has brought is analysis to paralysis.

    I have been paralyzed long enough, I'm surprised I'm still sober.

    Can you tell me more about that engine?

    I am not putting it on my trike, It's on a chopper I'm looking at.

    Block-long wheelies don't interest me but I would like to find out how they stand the test of time etc.

    Best of luck to you

    I would add a Carlini Torque Arm to your build

    Thank you, Please elaborate on the torque arm?

    Explain purpose and location, I assume it has something to do with the tranny?

    Default hello paul

    good to see you back on trike talk, I did do 90% of the ride you put together for me we got a day out of the road to the sun and look on the pc that morning and they had 3 & 4 feet of snow and was closed, Just another reason to go back up there again.

    again good to see you back

    The torque arm bolts the right side of tranny to the engine on Evo bikes

    It was a big plus on FXR bikes and big inch engines

    This helps to ease the strain on the primary, they have been known to crack the inner primaries

    There ya go, Thank you very much and I will look into acquiring one.

    With that much torque attempting to twist in the frame it would stand to reason somethings gonna strain?

    Default Carlini

    Most of the strain for the belt and chain is on the left side. As said above, the Evo primary is sometimes unable to handle the torque and strain and will allow the transmission to twist. The Torque Arm resists the twist and keeps the transmission where it belongs. It will also resist the twisting force presented by the Trike swingarm.

    This is what I have on mine.

    Ok, I wonder if I should put one on the 111" S&S I'm putting on my trike also?

    Is there a less expensive option? 300.00 Seems like of lot of money for it?

    Default I'm bad i know it!

    I don't keep in very good contact, do I?

    Between being down sick as usual in the winter and working on the chopper I just don't think much about it?

    Anyway, I'm just lacking a clutch cable before its ready to hit the road, You may not notice it but many changes have been made to the bike.

    I haven't decided if I'm going to get a different tank or just re-do the sides with some graphics?

    I need to build an old style sissy bar and I intend to put a front fender on it.

    I have some accessories to put on it and will need to find some decent saddle bags etc.

    Yes, its an outlaw but this is the type of bikes I built in my misspent youth.

    I haven't gotten started putting the new engine on my trike yet and I'm going to have Ron at cycle works help out on that same as he helped me on the chopper.

    The young fella is a mechanic as opposed to a parts changer and I trust him.

    God, I hate gettin old, so if I'm to have a second childhood it's time to stop muckin around about it!

    Glad to see you're feeling better and working on a project Paul. That Ultima engine will wake you up in a hurry!

    The handlebar and seat change should be easier to ride for sure.

    Are you gonna actually ride hard tail this upcoming season?

    I love the look but don't think I could personally take the pounding that hard tails deliver, any more...
    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???

    I doubt i will do cross country, That's what my trike is for but I plan to ride that chopper allot.

    I put the shock absorbers under that seat but I'm beginning to fear they may be too stiff?

    I actually haven't ridden it yet?

    PAul,

    Like you I lost my wife (cancer) and kind of went into a funk with good days and a dark period. I still have bad stretches now almost 2 years later. Traded the triglide we both loved for a Limited and in 2 years have put exactly 1800 miles on it. Wanted and bought a BMW convertible. Love the car but am ready to ride and tour again. At my age 66 I am leery about taking trip by myself such as to Sturgis. I won't think twice about going on a trike. Leaning toward a Freewheeler. If it ever stops raining I am going to demo ride both and decide.

    I wish I had magic words to heal your pain or tell you that time heals. It doesn't. You just learn to cope. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my Terri. I have dated but none met the mark. One day maybe one will..... or not. The only advice I will give you is to be honest with yourself. Keep in touch with your friends. When you are ready to seek companionship is up to you. If I can help or just lend an ear, I am here to do that. No one knows unless they travel this road. God bless.

    Thank's you're singing my blues, Steve.

    I'll tell ya what if you head out Sturgis way I only live about 250 miles away in Casper, Wyoming.

    I intend to roll a butt load of miles this summer, Not a solid plan but I pick a general direction and when I get to a major interchange out west flipping a quarter and doing a two-bit ride leads me to a lot of places and the length of the ride or time I'm gone is controlled by very few things and some pre-planning takes care of those.

    gimmie a holler?
