Hi, and yes I am guilty of lurking in the background and not posting anything. This is a great site and I do appreciate the discussions and the how to articles. I have tried to post pictures of my trike, but the pictures are to large and I don't know how to resize them. This is my first GW trike and I have just ridden it around here locally. My wife and I are both retired and plan on doing some traveling just like everyone else. After buying my trike I soon learned I needed a 4.5 degree rake on the front end, so I bought triple trees, bearings and races and now the trike is so much easier to handle. Also thanks to the forum, I purchased and installed the shifter brace and seal, the seal wasn't leaking but the seal was egg shaped. So much for my rambling, Hi again, and if anyone is down my way and need a hand I have a shop and be glad to lend a hand. Jimmy and Karen

Welcome.

There is a thread on posting pictures someplace down near bottom. You can do it using pics hosted on sites like Photobucket .... and you can upload here but I find that 640 or 800 pixels wide is all you need. Find a program like Paint and it'll let you resize and save as a smaller version .... just change the name and you can keep the original as well.

Maybe we could help each other

Well Jimmy maybe we could help each other. I could teach you and your wife how to resize pictures, and you could maybe let me and my husband in your shop to bleed my brakes. My back brakes are very spongy. We don't have a shop to do anything in and the weather here in southwest Missouri has been very unpredictable, raining a lot lately. We are also a retired couple who just bought a GoldWing trike. We are not very far from you, only about 15 miles away near Cassville, MO. What do you think?

Welcome to Trike Talk you will fit in here well. I had a 99 GW SE 1500 with a motor trike kit on it loved it until I totaled it out on the pig trail in Arkansas but that is another story. I ended up getting a 97 GW SE 1500 with Road Smith kit on it and I love the ride again welcome to trike talk from SW Missouri Good luck with your new trike we may meet up on the road some time.
