They test at 20 inches at a 45* angle and on the same plain at the exhaust. Also, there are many other variables come into play when they test such as traffic, buildings, vehicles, dirt, grass etc. I found a PDF that sets the guidelines for testing. Oh, the equipment also needs to be calibrated and certified. Official needs to be trained and certified to use equipment.
What did you do to your Trike this week?

Not looking good.
:wave4:
Had the new Avon installed with new bearings while it was off. Will be trying "Ride On" in this tire.
Changed rear brake pads on my trike today. Trike rode great on test run. Need to flush clutch line tomorrow. Then, I'm set for Trike Talk Gathering in the Catskills this month. Yippee!
Wife and I Pushed my trike to start it tonight
After about 6 tries of pushing the trike to start it, it finally started. How do you tell of it is the starter, relay or switch that is not working? It dims whenni the button is pushed but no sound like the starter is even trying.

Forgive me but i confuse easy......Are you talking about the reverse motor ?
Or the starter...Ie To start the engine....If its the engine starter it sounds like you have a bad battery...:Shrug:....

Check your battery first before condemning the starter
Fully charged battery will show 12.7 volts
Now, with a volt meter on the battery after verifying the full charge watch the volt meter as you try to start the bike
What did the volt meter show? And did the voltage recover to over 12 volts after you let go of start button?

Missed You Guys
Don't ask.. it has been a long time since I came on. I have just been very busy and no time to get on and contribute. Lots has happened on repairs and upgrades to my ride, so, I may be able to share the work, to see if it helps with some of your problems. I promise to get back on, soon and contribute!
See you later,
Rosy

Broken Tabs On Fairings
I have found a way to fix the broken tabs on the fairing of the Goldwings. If you would like to see the photos of the work and materials used, PM, me with your email address.
There are just too many photos to try to upload.
So far they have held up, with the stress load of my deflection wind wings.
The only draw back is the length of time it took me to do, but it was worth not spending $500 on a new fairing.
Also, I am sure many of you have better tools to work with than I did, as my tool selection is limited. I have seen some of your workshops, and I am amazed.

Really hot here left house on trike at 8:30 pm back at 945 cooler now little over 225 miles today . Great day in PA. Fred
I added some chrome trim around the wheel wells and got my Battery Tender connection cord installed on the battery right after learning how to remove the side covers from the HTX / Goldwing conversion.
Nothing......But i went away for 3 days with my son [With the truck ] And my other son borrowed it to ride his girls around...And he changed the radio setting to some FM station ..So when i took the trike out this morning it took an hour of cursing trying figure out how to get the thumb drive to play...I just listen to music from the 50's to the 70's ...And no interruptions no commercials news or weather reports to fill my head..
Yep, me also. Listen to 50s / 60s / 70s and Classic Vinyl all on XM Radio. My autos and Trike.

Hello
2020.. This is going to be one for the books. Lost Friends to the pandemic, rallies and rides not happening, if they happen, they are under a dark cloud, of what could happen, Friends not traveling to usual destinations, shortages of parts and other essentials (TP), and most of All, not being able to see Friends like "normal" years. Even if you are staying home, you are careful of what you do and where you go!
Most of us are in the Elderly category, so, we have to be very careful, not to take chances, like we did 50 years ago! 50 years ago, we would be able to fight it, now days, it could be fatal. 50 years ago, I would say, bring it on, it won't hurt me! Just like we use to ride our scooters, Ride'em like I stole it!
I hope all the Friends I have met and spoken to are all safe and sound. But, I do have tears in my eyes, for Friends I have lost.
Please, stay Safe!

Thank you Rosey we all have been touched by this Chinese Virus we lost my brother Bill two weeks ago. So I really understand what you are saying. Fred
Rosy & Fred,
We understand how you feel we lost four in our riding group here in Indy. All of us are in the 65 to 85 age category.
One thing that 2020 has brought out is these trials do not separate us from God’s love, they bring us closer to Him. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. We can also lean on each other. Keep in touch with one another through texts, telephone calls, live-streaming and the myriad ways that were not available to people in previous pandemics. Show love for each other because we are family.
We are still riding on those twisty scenic roads here in Indiana.

I lead a ride (road captain) with friends on a 120 mile ride to have lunch, got home and waxed the Valk. she looks great for 21 years old.
Got Gas for it Sunday, And hosed off the mud on the rear wheels and underside from riding into camp last week...Its a Mile and a half of dirt road from the black top to get in..
