'Tis the Season

Post by The Mindless Philosopher »

It's still hotter than a well-digger's butt crack (a tad over 100F) in the garage two hours after sundown (Arizona), but at least it's tolerable. 'Tis the season for Hoss repairs!

The trike has been sitting, drained and dried on jack stands since last November due to the handful of nit-picky but expensive (in my book, anyway) repairs it's needed.

COVID-19 tried to kill me, too (pneumonia and blood clots), so that slowed things down, but it's time to get back at it. I started tonight. If all goes well, the Hoss should be back on the road by Monday, still in need of annoying but minor repairs, but road-worthy, regardless. I should be able to tackle the show-stopping stuff tomorrow (Sunday).

As frustrating as this machine has been since buying it in miserable condition in December 2014, it will be great to finally get it on the road again.

I've uploaded a pic from March 2015 in Cool Springs, AZ (Route 66).

Did you get your Trike back on the road? What kind of show stopper stuff did you have to fix?
