Rode it to several appointments yesterday. First time in months I did not wear my Gerbing jacket liner. It was nice in the mid 60's.

Weather says we have a couple more warm days, then it drops back down into the 20's-40's.

I hope you didn't have to wear your Gerbing heated jacket - in 60* temps???

I'd be in a t-shirt.

Can't wait for those temps around here. Hell! even 40* would be great.

:laugh: Nope, no heated gear at 60*, but not just a t-shirt either.

Hope it warms up soon for you!

The wife and I were in Myrtle Beach a few years ago, we had only had the trike 6 or 8 months. I think it was November about mid night we were leaving a bar and we just about froze to death. Got back to the motorhome and it was 54*! I guess its what you used to. Sure made me feel like a wuss.

I took my 11 triglide & swapped it for a 14 triglide!I should get it in a couple weeks,....very long weeks.

Congrats on the new Tr-Glide!!! That's awsome!!!

I got a great deal form my Harley dealer on a set of fender bras Saturday. Brand new they are a $100 bill. Got them for $70 because they weren't in the original box. But everything was there. Now I have to wait until its warm to put them on, then maybe I could go for a ride!!! It has been a long winter!!!!:Coffee:

 

[GARYD]

I finally got out yesterday. We went for our annual FYAO ride(which should have been Jan. 1st) and had 6 brave souls. The temp was 28*. We rode out to our regular watering hole near Hampshire, Il. called Old Starks Tavern. It's about an hours ride.
Sure felt great. Haven't been out on the new TG since the Chicago Toys 4 Tots parade Dec. 1st.

 

[tom w]

ordered the cooling fan (thinking a head) from LeNale. should have it by Friday.

 

[DK Custom Products]

Rode it to the shop and back yesterday...nothing different than normal, but sure better than being stuck in a cage!

Today and tomorrow am prepping TG, and 3 other bikes, for testing parts on the dyno. We have a Dyno rented all day this Thursday, and part of Friday. We will be doing somewhere between 100 and 150 pulls to see how different components perform.

 

[JJTRIKER]

this weekend I put on a rear bumper have other things to put on but, its to fricken cold in the garage. as perfect as my new glide is I dont think she can negotiate the stairs into the house .

 

[arnie]

Still waiting for the call from the dealer,& waiting & waiting!

 

[tom w]

put on cooling fan this week end. works good 11 degrees this morning.:Coffee:

 

[Texan]

[tom w]

kind of the same here. 4 inches of sleet / 3 inches of snow. Glad the ice missed us .

 

[Dragonrider]

You can actually use this pic for a single day here, just make it Morning, Afternoon.

I was going to start it up and take a spin but it was too damn cold. How cold? Looked out my window this moring and my Digital thermometer read : I QUIT

six more inches of snow Monday...UNCLE UNCLE.....

 

[ELVISTO]

I stripped my front wheel, cleaned off all the corrosion, and had it painted,

While I set too painting the discs (rotors), goodbye corrosion, I'm thinking of doing the rear wheels shortly,

Very pleased with the result,

Nice looking wheel.

 

[iaff84]

I powder coated my wheels last year. Happy with them so far. Yours look great!
I have done a few other parts with the graphics also doing in powder coat. Black satin base and topped with satin powder clear coat. Did dash, passing and front turn cans and license plate light cover.
I think I am done for this winters "blacking out".

What? You didn't paint it to match the body work?

I kinda like the silver instead of black. Nice

 

[rwhgme]

60 degrees today..so I rode it!

 

[ELVISTO]

Yes it was very warm and sunny here today, Trust me to decide I would work on the bike and get an early start ThumbUp

Jack up and remove rear wheels, Getting them ready for painting tomorrow,

So I set too,I'd had a set of DK Comfort Lifts delivered before I had the bike, Worked to the instructions and all went well not a problem,
But the two cap head bolts holding the parking brake bracket were very tight, so I put my heat gun on them for a few minutes, Think they use some sort of powerful loctite ,

I was not able to try it out , But when the wheels are painted and fitted, I'll report back,

Here's a pic of my newly painted front wheel fitted, I think it looks much better,ThumbUp

 

[Rickie "T"]

March 5 had new rotors and pads put on (under warranty) the rear no squeal now. This Tuesday hoping to have cams and lifters with adjustable push rods installed. Will start tear down Monday sometime. Cams from Fuel Moto TW222. Yes getting ready for summer bring it on.

ELVISTO like your wheels what color is that.

 

[ELVISTO]

Paint Colour ? I'll ask when i go to collect the rear wheels ,RickieT

I'm sure it'll be a colour code number, but i'll let you all know, I chose it from a colour chart,

 

[oneup]

took to it with an angle grinder.... cut off the trailer socket, and replaced it with an Aussie one. had to rip out the relay box that i assume came with the towbar hitch. rewired the trailer loom, and reconnected the top box lights which had been disconnected by the ADR people. all working good. now we can go camping. (well once we have a collapsable table and chairs)

 

[tom w]

put on a new set of skeleton mirrors and rode it for a while. (had to break the mirrors in. worked great!)
any excuse to ride ! they look great with all the skully trim I already have.
going to ride some this afternoon epper:

 

[tom w]

great ride ! mirrors worked flawlessly .
fuel problems and battery problems with a friends bike. slowed us down a bit. her bike has been sitting in a basement garage all winter. old gas and a lizard lite left on caused the trouble.
set us back about an hour. on the way home (about 40 miles out, getting dark. ) the bike started bucking and not wanting to take gas.
drained fuel and put fresh in. works fine now. still a nice ride for march.

Got to check out the bike once in awhile even in the winter.

 

[GARYD]

Tom, did you put StaBil in the tank at the beginning?

Before I started riding in the winter and even now, I put StaBil in the tank. then come spring I drive away with no fuel problems at all. ThumbUp

 

[Rod69]

I cleaned it up after riding 140 miles yesterday.
