Took a spirited ride yesterday on the Big Green Dragon....aka Fat Lady.....only 250 miles, but every one a smile....got approached at a couple of stops by ppl making comments and asking questions....a couple of older ladies told me "sweet ride".....then when they came back out with a hubby in tow, he asked me..."Is that a car engine in that bike?......and how fast will it go?"..... Cheesy....the three of them talked to me for a long time about it......later on at a stop at just about dark thirty, a man and some of his children walking by stopped and commented on it...the kids liked Willie the snake and the green lights on it......

I bought her in 2004 with 29,000 on her.....just passed a 102,000 miles.....and I still love her....maybe even more than the day I got her.....

I wonder if the guys with the new "Valks" are going to get asked about them like the Old Gals do?....I still don't like the looks of them...not the same Pizazz...... Sad

Finally going to be out of the 30's here...   I think I'll have to take my girl out and stretch her legs for a short ride today.

Like your critters.  Cool.

I have a ape and a bear that rides with me when DW doesn't.  They are strapped into the bitch seat.  I get a few good comments on them.   Grin Grin Grin

The old girls are the show girls. I still get a lot of looks and questions.

      Warm enough to ride , but medically unable to.

Looking good Mr. Steamer.

It got up into the mid-50s in SW Ohio this afternoon. That was good enough to get the
trike out and do a little over 100 miles.  Turned over 113,000 on the clock this afternoon.
Now she's good and broken in.  Had a couple of comments on the ride also, and the weather. 
Sure was fun.

I had a guy in a black "Mercedes" roll down his window and get my attention to say "Nice Bike!"
the other day...
