This week my first detailing job of the season was a Victory Vision. And then came a long a Honda Gold Wing Trike. The Victory was not easy to detail. I could not use my lift because the bike has no lower frame rails around the engine. The oil pan is exposed and I did not like the idea of putting the whole weight of the bike on the oil pan. So I had to leave it on the floor.

The Honda trike was like detailing a car. It has automobile wheels and tires on the rear. It has a dashboard, adjustable air vent grids and much more up front to clean. It took longer then normal to clean this bike. I will surely charge much more for future trikes.

Ok, now lets keep those dirty bikes coming.

The new riding season is almost here. Weather willing. Were still having snow here in the Midwest. 3” snow fall Sunday in Huntley IL. Because of the weather my detailing hasn’t gotten off until this week. I have a Victory Vision I’m detailing before Saturday.

Lets all have a safe riding season and watch out for those cagers because their not watching out for us.

I’m Posting a few photos of a Sportster I was riding on the Fourth of July weekend 1971. A driver turned right in front of me making a left hand turn.

I lost the photo that showed the top of the tank pushed in about about 2” by my groin area. I still feel pain there every once in a while. After all these years.

Meaning Of The Day: Cage - A car, truck or van. The sworn enemy of motorcyclists, more commonly known as automobiles. The name stems from being all cooped up inside a closed shell, with no contact with the outside air.

Cager - A person driving a car, truck, or van. Cage operator, or driver.
