    Something strange on a GW Trike!

    Last weekend while riding to Rabbit Hash for an Ale 88 and a cigar I passed a GW CSC Trike with (wait for it) two dudes riding it! The first time in all my travels I've seen a trike with a male rider and another male in the passenger seat. I've seen two females but this was a first. Bill

    Battery Tender Connection Done My Way!

    I destine spliced, loose, hanging or mis-coded wires. I have always thought there might be another way to install the pigtail for a Batter Tender. When Randy built my trike he installed a copper wire/fused pigtail for a batter tender. This made my idea easy to install. I found a panel mount...
