    Battery Maintenance tip from , Bob..................

    With summer approaching and to all Trike-Talkers that also have cars and trucks now is the time to check the battery on your cars and trucks...The first thing you need to do because you wont be using the heater in the summer, And will now be using the air conditioner, Don't forget to reverse the battery terminals.....

    ...

    And please don't fall for the old winter air summer air change over' I've tried that and found there isn't any rime or reason to do that....Your Welcome....

    Bob I'm thinkin you live in your own twilight zone. Anyway I think you should have stressed just how important it is not to let the smoke escape from the wires! Its a critical factor, and it cannot be replaced with blinker fluid,even though people will tell you it can. Have a good one. By the way I've noticed an increased police presence on rt6. Just sayin.

    Reversing polarity in the transmission fluid should fix you right up.

    I hava a 1975 Harley golf cart that has a switch under the seat that reverses the polarity of the battery. Push on the gas pedal and it starts the engine in reverse. For real.

    Now you see, I was right, I guess it takes a while for Genius to be recognized, And while I'm still alive at that......

    Thats why I mentioned it. I've been ridin it a lot more now that I bought a place in pa. I'm not a fan of the grey cars either. They're harder to spot.
