Kentucky Ride In at E'town

[gabby]

  :DHowdy from the hills of Kentucky !!!!
     I have not got on the forum for several months a waiting news on my Bruenhilde. She still is in the shop getting the wiring changed and making her BUTT wider. When I discovered that I was verticled challenged by 2 inches, something had to get changed. She is now an official W I D E california side car 1999 Green/silver trike.
   Went to a Kentucky Ride in at E'town this weekend to learn about Goldwings and riding in general as I have only rode mine for 7 (seven) miles. I was surprised at the number of trikes that were there. I was expecting maybe 4 or 5 and saw close to 50. I was amazed to find two Valks in attendance. A 99 Tourer (two wheels) and a 99 red and black Interstate (trike). Neither knew about the VRCC and I told them about the wonderful group of people we have on here.
     I am hoping to get my B I G girl back this week so I can ride her , again. I did get a ton of information about riding, safety,maintainence, cleaning, and riding in the rain. Did that on the way home when we had 60 mph winds and 3 inches of rain in 30 minutes. F U N trip from Slade into Pike county.
     Enough ranting---Ride safe and Keep wind under the pHAT LADIES skirts.

Howdy again you all
     Just got off the phone from the dealer in Maysville that has had my Bruenhilde since Oct. 7, 2010 that she is now ready to go riding. She had developed an electrical problem when I got her back from hydrolocked and had ate 27 teeth on the gears. Radio did not work-dash had no lights-Major electrical problems were suspected and   "They could not repair". All were working when I brought it to them in Prestonsburg STEALERSHIP so what gives?  Talked to alot of smarter people and was told that since I was not able to ride her---why not trike it? Took to Heritage Honda for trikeing and told him of problem.
     I told to not be in any hurry as I could not ride it thru the winter ---so trike and hopefully find the electrical trouble.  Fast forward until last week---suspect wiring harness had very bad ground as the radio was shot and no lights on dash-ordered new wiring harness-bad harness return and order another-another bad harness- return for another one. Service manager getting really HOTTTTTT and angry. begins to check componets and ----are you ready----





THE STARTER RELAY HAD BEEN WIRED B A C K W A R D S causing the power from the battery to all go to ground.

rewired back to original correct posts---IT'S   ALIVE AND EVERYTHING WORKING  !!!!!

SHE'S COMING HOME ON SATURDAY ----OH  HAPPY   DAY!!!!!!!

Thanks to all who gave me such accurate information as Charlie and I both are hairless

      As usual with the Valkyrie, the biggest problems usually have the simplest of solutions, though it may take a while to find.
