Just hearing the word Skillet causes to flow water in my mouth...
Sorry, a little tipsy for today. had a 16% Belguim Oranjeboom beer for to honour Jim Pettiti (Racewayservices, Salem Oregon), Lola and Jan Larsson (Larsson tools and Husquarna, Costa Rica), all good friends who passed by way too early.
Cheers on these guys who were true good examples to follow..

Muzzleflash- very nice Indian/Hannigan rig, the dealer near me put a red one like that together about 6 months ago. Do you have any kind of steering modification?
How does it ride and handle for you? Unfortunately I think I will be winterizing my sidecar soon, we have six inches of snow on the ground.

Did a few things on the Vmax car:

My wife hated the stock seat so I installed a boat one (a pain!!):

That boat seat looks like it has good lower back support. Good for you to please the wife.

Claude Stanley and crew at Freedom Sidecars did the install and swapped out the triple trees with the Hannigan easy steer trees. It also has electric camber control which allows you to change the lean of the rig to accommodate different road crowns. Handles well, on the interstate just set the cruise and relax, twisties and mountain roads take a little effort but it's not bad at all.Claude got the set up spot on. The only draw back so far is my fuel mileage went from mid to high forties to mid to low thirties.

Lucky you. My mileage runs mid-twenties down to about 20 mpg depending on the load, wind direction, speed, terrain, etc. When doing extended touring our rig weighs 1800lbs with us and our luggage on board.

My son Thomas passed the test last week Thursday... best of all wives insisted "What is the hurry to get the plastic?"...Monday we picked up that tiny plastic card and
...
since Tuesday the place in the garage where my Sophie Travelair used to be, is most of the time empty!

Now I hope to get at least once upon the time the change of a short ride with my dear Patrol.

first ride with all of the family on bikes:
http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/spatialArtifacts.do?event=setCurrentSpatialArtifact&id=11541228
short and slow but way different from the cage.
we even were "able to hold pass" with 3 HD riders who had lunch in the same place. Turtle speed downhill.
Unlikely there was no coffee brake at my favourite restaurant la Lluna de Valencia...
another day. then.
Be patient Sven

Got the tree.
We put the tree in the wife's pickup. The tree farm wanted a photo for their Facebook page.

That's why you got a green rig, to match the tree. Now to string lights on both the rig and the tree.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Let's meet up at the USCA Rally in Hotchkiss, Colorado, July 7th to 10th. Would like to see your new rig in person.

Am taking my new KLR650 adventure rig to the Rally. After which, plan to ride the Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada on it.
