TOGETHER AGAIN!!--HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I'm not talking about the country song "Together Again" (one of my favorites, by the way) by Buck Owens.  I did get the Wing back together again and in  operating condition with some help from Jim. After close to 90,000 miles,  I removed the shocks and sent them in to have new bushings, seals, springs, and oil.  When I talked to the tech that did the work, he seemed to be very surprised that the seals had not given out long before then.  I told him I always cleaned the bugs and dirt off the exposed area of the shocks the first chance I got.  He said that probably made all the difference in the condition.  So there's a tip for everyone with a bike or trike--KEEP THE SHOCKS CLEAN.  The only problem I have now, it looks like I'm going to have to wait until spring (if we have one) to try out the new front end!


Thanks to Dennis & Marlene for the photo.  I'm sure they feel the same way about their convertible.
