Did nothing with my TG today...or for many days. It's starting to feel ignored.

Been riding the Softail.


Won't be long though. Gotta do some maintenance on the TG and then get it ready for a trip we're going on in less than 3 weeks.

Going to be a first for us. Riding the Tri Glide in Tijuana traffic and down the Baja California coast.

Many decades ago I would ride my Honda SL350 down in Tijuana...but things have changed!!! Should be interesting!

 

We're getting ready for a trip to New Hampshire then down to Delmarva Bike Week. The bikes are ready to go. Motorhome needs to be serviced though...and that's not an easy job.

 

Arranged to take our '14 to the dealer after our 9 day 1700 mile trip from NW Ohio to the Philadelphia area, took a lot of back roads including most of Rte 30. Any road that has warnings for trucks not to take it can't be all bad! Lots of great riding in Amish country, too, and the better half really enjoyed it. Oh, and the food!

The reason for taking it to the dealer is they screwed up when they replaced the pressure switch that actuates the rear brake lights and other interlocks. The pedal wasn't always fully returning to the up position afterwards, so the brakes were dragging occasionally. If I forgot to lift the pedal the last 3/8" as soon as we'd start moving it would do it on it's own. I first noticed that it seemed to be hard to push the trike around sometimes. The brakes worked fine when applied and fully disengaged when the pedal was lifted, and it would stay there. Something either binding slightly or the pedal shaft fastener was installed too tight. Something to look at if you ever get that work done.

It's also time for the 25K maintenance. I'm glad they're going to wash it this time!

 

Changed the oil and filter, adjusted parking brake...

 

Back on the road again. Got to get rid of the boot early Doc was please with the progress. I wore that thing 24\7 took it off just to dress in the morning and undress at nite. Did a 50 mile circle first day back.

 

Traded in my 2016 for a 2019 Triglide

 

5wheels I am going crazy right now myself because of 2 things 1. it's been over 110 degrees for 2 months here but also my wife had foot surgery the first of August and has had one of those boots on since then and has to wear it for another 3 weeks. i had to run to the post office yesterday so I rode the Tri and it felt good. All I do is polish it and look at it come on October.

 

Took the 2013 Anniversary trike out for a ride today and noticed something had changed. I like to use the cruise a lot and to release the cruise, I either use the brake or turn the throttle handle clockwise just a tad and the cruise goes off. Today I noticed the handle just spins clockwise and does not release the throuttle. If I turn it 1/2 turn then I have to turn it counter clockwise 1/2 turn before I can use the throttle again. Is there something I can tighten to fix this? Other than that, it was a great ride.

 

Brought my 2020 home
