[bikerbillone]

My fault indicator light has been an off an on thing for many miles,

Can’t get any dealer attention, I gotta head back to

Florida. This is most disappointing.

Please remove us from the registration "Bill Risley." I have canceled the Best Western ,so if someone needs a room at host, it just opened up.

John, please repost your contact number. I am unable to reach you.

616 for nine eight o nine five fore

Mark, are you in Maggie Valley now?

Are there any other arrivals with us?

Is anyone interested in an informal "Pot Luck" BBQ cookout later this afternoon at my mountainside home? If so ,please let me know. ol' school Doug has offered to check out the grill and try to get it operational. We can all decide what to bring to the gathering if there is enough interest.

I am located on Gaddis Branch Road which is directly accross from the Shell station on Rt.19 at the East end of town. this is about 3 miles east of the BW Motel.

Parking is very limited, so we need to consider carpooling. I would also advise against any Trike riding in my area at night.:gah:Carpooling is safer!! ThumbUp

That bites Frank, sorry your having mechanical problems. Did they have a Tri that you could have rented? Either way, be safe coming home

 

[ol' school]

Finally got on here and checked things out. Sorry you are having trike issues and won't make it Frank... We were looking forward to seeing you. Hope you get it fixed and make it home safe!

We left home got gas and left our little village Monday morning around 6:30 am . Made trip with one stop for gas and one stop for lunch. We arrived in Maggie valley at 1:45 with a empty tank.fueled up at the first gas station coming into town. We found our cabin got some rest and then went to get something to eat. We don't have many riding plans at this time.Just enjoying some vacation time.

It is what it is. At least it wasn’t an accident! But the pool is refreshing

Missed it

I was hoping to attend this rally, so close to home and such a beautiful place. However, I was on my way to the Deadwood rally in July when my engine seized. My bike and trailer are still in Cedar Rapids IA waiting for the installations of my new to me engine. Hope to be back on the road soon.

Bill, I am sorry that you could not make it to Maggie.

Sara and I were there Monday, but had to leave Tuesday morning after the group meeting. My left eye was hurting something awful from spattered oil that hit my eye when I changed the oil in our Camry last Friday in preparation for our trip to NY this Saturday. Sara was in agony with something going on with her back and was taking 2 pills for her stomach (physician suggested) that were at odds with each other. We rushed home and each went to our respective doctors in the afternoon. My eye doctor said I had chemical burns in left eye - I went to ER on Friday, but had no problems then. And Sara has new prescriptions to take. We both have to report back to our doctors in a week or so, so we cancelled our NY trip! Good health is a prerequisite for a good trip!

Judging from the event cancellations noted yesterday, it looks like a lot of people had a lot of last minute issues to deal with, and I suppose the weather reports didn't help any. I pray for those who had trike issues, and pray that all the problems will be resolved. That goes for Bugman & Liz's VW trike and it's overheating issues, they wanted to have their trike at Maggie this year, but it just could not happen.

I did a mass trike & triker blessing at our group meeting yesterday morning. I wasn't sure how things would work out for Sara and I, and did not want to neglect praying for all those in attendance. Prayer is one of the reasons why Sara and I go to our TT event in Maggie, so regardless of how we felt, the safety and health of our Trike Talk friends had to be prayed for! Hopefully next year we won't be in such a rush!

I had a couple of lookers interested in my trophy winning 1996 Toyota Corolla Ferrari yellow trike at the motel. With it's new "0" hour re-manufactured 3 year warranty automatic transmission and it's new lifetime warranty radiator, it's a better then ever buy at $16,500 OBO. If you know of anyone that might be interested, please have them email me at dasurewood@gmail.com and I will send them specs and pictures. I have been retired too long (I never thought I would say that!) and wish to go back into business, and that is the reason for the sale.

I did the work I did on the trike to perfection for a reason, I had the intention of taking it with me to the grave, and never expected to reach my present age! I though I'd be like my father and my brothers and pass on at age 65, but I am still here! Some lucky triker will get a great buy!

At any rate, as my brother and sister trikers you are always in my prayers - not just at our big event in Maggie (or wherever it is) - but throughout the rest of the year!

Till we meet again! Be healthy, happy & blessed!

Chaplain Dave & Sara Sherwood

Dave,

I am glad you and Sara are both on the mend! It was good see you here again even if only for a short while. God bless you both!

Sure hope we have MV in 2019, seems we've had many drop outs for one reasons or another, me being one of them. Bumps in the road of life, just gotta do what we gotta do.

Susan and I rode over to pidgin forge today. Lots of cars and trucks at the show. We got back this evening and got everything packed that we could,and will be leaving for our Ohio home early in the morning. Looks like it will be a wet ride home.
