  1. Arthritis stikes again, the Swing becomes a 4 wheeler

    The years came and went. The ankles and feet got less predictable. The hips told me that as low and stable as the Swing is, I was going to need some help.

    After some research, I found out that the primary dealer for Danson Trikes was a mere 15 miles away. After several chats with them, I bought one of their kits, put it in the back of my Toy pickup and brought it home.

    The install was pretty straight forward:

  5. Just Rambling On!

    Finally I am the owner of a Yamaha Raider, and really like it so far!!! When my friends see it and say to me, "This is the best one so far," or " You've out done yourself with this one," I just (as humble as possible) agree! I do share with them that this is what I had working my way up to.
    I purchased this bike just shortly after selling my ZX14, of which I had not ridden much at all. Prior to the ZX14, I had an RF900 that I rode everywhere!!! On the RF is where most ...
