With the promised forecast of 55 degrees and sunshine, I got the trike out of storage last Thursday. Well, the temps never got above 50, but the wind did! Needless to say it was cold even with the heated seats and grips. However, I did cruise down to Luana, then to Gunder, back to Monona, to Volney, past the Gelo ranch (new bridge is done), through Fishville, and back home with a frozen butt and in need for hot coffee. The ride was over 50 miles, so it qualified as per WNR rules (see Chuckles for a copy of the rules), so that means I was able to ride in every month of 2015. I realize I cheat for part of the time by being in Florida part of January through February, but I'm still counting it!
It sounds like Honda is recalling a lot of years of 1800 Gold Wings for possible brake issues. I just received my recall notice on the bike, but the way it sounds it also applies to trikes. That means another trip for me with the trike to Oelwein for the recall work before it goes to Florida. The bike will have to wait until spring the way it looks. So, I would say Meryle, Wayne F, Jim G, and Carl may have the same situation. There is no time limit on the recall, but if you want to use my trailer before the middle of January, let me know.
