A lot of people don’t understand the online connections that are made through blogging. It’s nice to cross paths in the world.

The Moostard is awaiting a special occasion!

In reply to Tball. That's back when State College was a small town. Things have changed a bit since then.

I always enjoy reading of blogger meet-ups. I am glad you all got the chance to get together and visit.

Having been on the receiving end of some Alaskan moostard, I can vouch for its tastiness.

You could order beer to your home, from distibutoes.
Local beer distributor “Nittany ” had a Harley trike for the task. Just call and put the money in the milk box. Case of beer on the porch when u get home. My dad partook of those services…probably til early late 50’s. After that the trike became parade fodder.

In reply to Tball. Beer trucks? Here in Happy Valley? That must of been before my time. I remember Meadow Pride milk trucks but that's about it.

In reply to Lowbuckrider. I think the URAL still demands a wrenching demeanor if you are going to do any long distance touring. Or so I gather from reading a lot about them. Hacks with a HD, new BMW or Goldwing might be the more reliable beast.

When I grew up…trikes were beer trucks…right her in Happy Valley.

Up until recently I was thinking Ural has really done a good job on working out the bugs, then I saw Dom is having to get his transmission replaced. If I were to venture into the land of tugs & hacks it would be connected to another machine. Dreams of a /2 and Steib…..

Perhaps next time you come this way I’ll have a couple machines so we can take a ride together.

Sidecars…

In reply to Tball. I keep my eye sharp for balance assistance. Saw a beautiful black Harley Davidson trike this morning. Sleek and not a big fat frump. I could see myself riding one if I need that kind of balance. A sidecar rig seems a lot more functional though. I will beware of shiny convertibles. That's a #fail.
