Hi, John! Have been off the bikes for a year since I fractured my right ankle in fist sized gravel on the scooter in PA last summer. The trike had not been right since I had a very bad mechanic do some work on it in Framingham MA several years ago, after another bad mechanic in New Hampshire screwed up a clutch replacement, and I found myself stuck on I89 in CT, where i was rescued by Chris Wirth. Bike was towed to Framingham and a used motor was installed. Finally rode it home, was lucky I made it, and I started trying to fix the obvious problems, and realized it was way over my head and skills. I called Brett Bergquist, who had offered to do the clutch originally, but he's a very busy guy, and I could afford to pay for it so why not? He came and hauled the trike away, and worked on it and worked on it, and it came home this spring!
The front brake had stopped working, but that's in my skill set! Shorty drove up from Tennessee to help me (read as do the work), but the caliper was frozen, ordered a used one on eBay, rebuilt it, Shorty went home, and here I am with the last piece of the puzzle, a plate that needs to be bent. I can not say enough good things about Valk folk. Ankle is all better, and I hope you are in great shape, also. Great to hear from you.
You have a beautiful trike!
