Rode 150 miles on Friday...checked up on Devin after his ACL surgery.
Yesterday I took the long route over to the dealership and dropped it off for some warranty work.
Will be Trikeless for about a week while they have it.

Tri had been in my wood 10 x 12 yard shed (cement floor) on the tender all winter. Check on it every couple days. Temps hit 70 yesterday and today. Yesterday notice some condensation on the bike for the first time, so left the door open and put a fan in there blowing on the trike. Got home today and the whole floor was sweating a lot and slippery, so fired it up and got it out of there and into my garage (drier in garage). Since I had it running and rain had washed most of the crap off the roads, took it out for a 10 mile spin before dark. Man did that feel great! Some times ya just gotta go with the flow!

A nice 100 mile lunch today.
And I got the ball-tip end of the allen wrench out of the shifter arm pinch bolt, which the dealer's apes conveniently broke off in there and didn't tell anybody. Of course now I can neither get the bolt out nor tighten it up, I destroyed the head in the process. Impossible to get anything to turn it with now.
It loosened up some lately and I went to tighten it, and what the heck, there's something in there!
It's their problem when it goes in for the 15K; it should make it until then. I added a washer between the front lever and the housing to at least keep it from flopping around while going down the road. But they are giving me a shaft as well as an arm.

I ride mind on the weekends over the winter - IF the rods are DRY.
Pretty soon we'll all be out there running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
Stay safe and watch out for the idiots.

Yep! That stuff is worse then salt. We have certain areas here that are now using it to. So far the S100 Corrosion Protectant is protecting against that stuff also. At least for the past 3 or 4 years. Bike still looks in showroom condition. When I start seeing problems I'll slow down my winter riding, but not until then. I paid too much to store it away for 6 months every year.
Stay warm, dry and happy. See ya on the road in 6 months.
