Re: Bevel Box

They don't look a lot different . Checked the spindle nuts - they are tight, so I don't think the wheel is going to fall off :-).

Bevel Box

Re: Driver Having Problems.....

Good idea Frederick, except there are no HOV lanes within 80 miles of me - would be fun to drive around with him/her - the Triking itself gets plenty of attention - Triking plus alien would go viral (especially on Facebook UFO sites) !

Driver Having Problems.....

Been teaching a friend of mine how to drive the Triking - says he's not used to the primitive mechanical controls - keeps asking where the warp drive button is,,,,,

Re: 2022 Calendar

Great photo, Doverhay ! Yes - they're definitely weeds around here - I pull them up as soon as I see them. I do remember being in the Mohave desert in California many years ago, and it was California poppies as far as the eye could see (it had recently rained) - a beautiful sight .

Tony - why is only the middle of one side of the road

Re: Best day to drive a Triking?

I also went for a drive yesterday - sunny, crisp autumn day when I left, but big clouds were building in the west, and I could see rain on the horizon, so knew I had to hurry. Great drive - colours this year seem brighter than usual, maybe because it's been drier than usual. Stopped on the way back ...
