    Narrowly Avoided Disaster!

    Hooked up the trailer last night. Loaded the FTR in a light snow this morning for a trip to Pitt Cycles to take care of the coolant tube recall. It took about 4 hours to complete. They do put new coolant in the system as part of the repair. After they finished I rolled the FTR into the right...

    Front Wheel Removal

    Does anyone know the size of the inner hex on the hollow front hollow axle? What is the correct tool required to remove the axle and what is the proper name for that tool? I would like to purchase the tool and add it to my collection.

    Bolt and Fastener Corrosion

    I am not real happy with the way the zinc plated crank case bolts are starting to corrode on my FTR. When I purchased the bike in May 2019 the bolts and fasteners were nice and shiny.

    The temperature hit 64*F in Pittsburgh, PA today. I went for a 2 hour ride in the rolling hills of Western, PA with my son-in-laws. It always feels special to get the bikes out in the winter months when most days are not riding days. We saw a ton of bikes on the roads today. Everyone is eager to...

He took it apart 35 years ago to repaint and rechrome and never got around to putting it back together. (Easier to put it up in the attic when you are 25...
