Hoping I'll see you at Maggie Valley.
I am planning on riding down again although that's getting late in the year to make time before dark in my neck.

Well folks, after reading the suggestions for a name of my newest HD on another forum and getting some sound advice from a member recomending that Sue should play a major roll in naming this new tractor. And I really want Sue in on this christening of this bike because She will be the owner/operator at some point and I know even with the problems that her MS causes she will have many worry free miles on this trike. We both were ready for this, I guess we just didn't see it coming and or finalizing so quickly as it did. It literally went from an idea to a purchase in three days. That's a record for me/us.

 One name that came up as a sugestion was Susie Q. But because my better half has the name Sue and Suzie Q is what I call her when.... well let's just say, I don't call her Suzie Q when we are disagreeing or arguing. lol. So, although the name does have special meaning, it is sort of already taken. But, Graybeard's suggestion "Midnight Rainbow... My Pot of Gold", really hit home. In what was a statement off the cuff in an earlier post on that forum, While answering what color the trike was, I wrote in my typical way of stretching out what could have been a very short, direct and simple answer, "Midnight Rainbow" is what I wrote. Graybeard added, the trike is my Pot of Gold and that this trike will give me many more riding miles and that hit home too.

Well Sue likes the name Midnight Rainbow too. The right rear fender below the tail light on an angle or maybe on the trunk is where it will be inscripted as soon as we can. I will send in a picture as soon as it happens. But, right now we have to get past the next four days of rain. This is the first time I've bought a bike and it has set in my garage unused the second and third day of ownership. I am getting lazy or old I guess, rain never stopped me before. But you know, when this rain finally stops, there will be a rainbow. Maybe at midnight!!

Thank you my friends you really do make my day
Can't hardly wait to see you on the road this riding season

Hi Chains,
I did give it a try, but it just didn't work out buying it from her. Maybe next time.
I hope all is well with both of you.
Sam

Ps. Blasted rain! And the raw chille temp in my unseated garage has kept me from tinkering and putting on or changing some of the parts. It's been a crazy spring.

Good news Sam.
One of my riding partners, who is up in age and has some leg weakness due to some med issues, finally bought a trike 2 years ago.

He hasn't smiled this much in 20 years. What had become a chore is back to riding and gliding  :2vrolijk_21:

When you get time, grab your umbrella and send us a picture.  Sorry about the wet weather, it has turned cold here again with high winds.  Looks like rain tomorrow them back into the 80"s by the end of the week.
