It's Been a While...Just Checking In

I'm still out here doing my thing. Hoss remains road worthy though it keeps nickel-and-diming me, but that's just the way it goes. I do what I need to while I cuss at the heat, but then I'm still enjoying daily commutes and occasional joy rides, so it pays off.

Those with whom I had telephone contact: my old flip phone died, so all of my contacts are gone. I did not know it didn't have a removable memory card, and I wasn't smart enough to write anything down the old fashioned way. Lesson learned.

Anyhow, I'm still on the site, just not active at the moment.

The attached pic is from a few years back.

Mate looking at your trike picture what’s going on between your starter motor and rear brake. Can’t quite see what it is ? Just interested

Just a spade-style foot peg attached to an adjustable chrome plate on the frame. The brake reservoir and brake peg are also attached to that plate.

Well, that's that. I had a feeling I might jinx it by making a post like that. Hoss is down for the count again. At least it survived daily commutes for 11 months. That's a new record for this thing. No sense harping on all the nit-picky junk that needs to be replaced.

On the bright side, the weather has cooled off to the high 90's. I can buy new tools and gadgets and learn to do more of my own work without dying of heat stroke.

The curse continues. Other, more serious things are wrong. I have drained it. It's going on jack stands.
