Hey Hotrod, Al and I motored up your way this afternoon, but I was guessing how to get to your place, and I guessed wrong. I know I went to the 1st FR past the hay farm and turned left, but here is where I messed up. I thought you said go to Enterprise and go north to your house. I should have looked up your phone nr before we left, but we decided to go from Ricks house in Sparta. Oh well, we will try again sometime when I have good directions...

I guess I need one of those "gremlin bells", I had to cancell my ride to Eureka Springs with OMT because of all things, my NEW disc brake setup with only about 200 miles on them gave up the ghost, one of the calipers sprung a leak that turns out to be a flaw in the casting, I had to send it back and I will probably be a couple weeks befor I get it back on the road, missing that ride really bums me out but at least the bright side is it failed on a short ride, I got it home with about a half inch of brake fluid left in the resivore. It brought me home safe and I can't complain about that.

If Al doesn't have a little "gremlin" bell on his trike - we are going to have to get him one FAST!!!!

Al's trike has too many "mischievous Road Spirits" that are giving him grief!
The little nuisances cannot stand the ringing of the bell because they have very sensitive hearing. So the sound of the bell drives the nasty buggers away! Or Al has to go get that trike blessed soon!

Hey Hotrod, how ya doing? No, there were no injuries, and it bent the 3/8 steel plate fender in against the tire, so we put a donut tire on it and took it to a welding shop here in Nixa, and the guy heated it and bent it back into shape. I couldn't believe it. He did a splendid job and only charged Al $35. Then to add insult to injury, we took off and Al's throttle handle, not the cable, but the handle broke apart inside. He had to use a pair of pliars to get home. We took it to a shop and they are putting a foot pedal in for him. Have a fun weekend and be safe. Commodore

Al "The Grunt" was going home from my house on sunday evening, and just in front of the Nixa post office, a car ran a stop sign and hit his trike on the drivers side rear fender. It bent it in against the wheel and broke his turn signal off too. I hope to be able to fix most of it later today. If anyone isn't busy, come on by and give us some advice or help or whatever...Commodore
