Naturally. Think I'd hang up my tools if the trike or a bike ever failed. |

At a recent show folk noticed the pillion seat in the pickup bed and asked how it fitted. Possibly because it's such a strange looking thing when not fitted. I'd used it to take my daughter, but had taken it off as I feel it detracts from the trike. It simply hooks onto the frame below the riders seat and is held in place by two wing nuts on the rear tank support frame. I've probably shown this before but can't be bothered to search the thread.

Suited the petite Magda , but not sure it'd take those of us of larger build! Clever idea Dave. That was the first time I'd seen it in use.

Started to think about getting the trike ready for the spring, as to be honest it's not been used much recently.
New fork gaiters are first on the list. Bought from China as not only were they the cheapest option but the existiing 'British made' ones have disintegrated after only three years !

I've just had a real good moan on another forum about the quality of rubber items, wiper blades etc. 12 months and things are falling to bits. Rad hoses, fuel pump diaphragm, (blamed on Unleaded by supplier).

Ethanol in fuel has been around for a while now, so should only affect old rubber components, not new stuff.

And hopefully shouldn't affect windscreen wipers at all! I seem to buy them far more ofte3n than I used to, they used to last for years! And we used to be able to replace just the rubber blade - don't see those any more either.

Getting the trike ready for the fabulous spring and summer we are going to have. Yep I'm delusional, but happier this way. Fresh oil, brakes checked, general check over and new fork gaiters fitted. Managed to put a BIG scratch in the front mudguard while taking it off to get the forks out, so that will have to be repainted sometime. The chrome on the horn was flaking badly, and that was stripped and the cover painted. Never been happy with the horn though so may look out for something a little different (& louder).

You could get an repro of the Indianhead they used on the old Chief or with your new hobby you could just spin one and open up openings with the lettering Olds in some stylish font.
