This was my dads trailer he pulled behind all his trikes. He actually purchased it from the Jack Daniels store in Lynchburg. It wasn't even for sale. It was being used as a display for their store. After basically forcing the poor guy that was their to call his manager they came to an agreed price. Right then i knew that purchase was going to mean work for me. I had to wire his trike for trailer lights in the parking lot and everything had to work perfect! And it was hottttt!
Years later dad passed away in March of 2008. He was a big guy at 6'8 and 425 pounds. And he didnt feel very well the last few years of his life. But if you mentioned going somewhere on a bike he would somehow make it. I always respected him and always feared him at the same time. It was always the good kind of fear. (I think)
Anyway,,, I just laid the oak floor back down on the trailer. The original wood had swelled a bit on the edges. And the trailer needed cleaning up badly. Its getting sanded and lots of Polyurethane to make it shine again. I put two new tires and rims on it also. New hardware is also going onto it. All shiny brass stuff. It will be a jewel again for someone. And it will need a good home when I'm finished with it.
Here are some pics of my dad and his grave marker. I took a picture of him on his first trike at Cheha Mountain. This picture was the one I later had waterjet etched onto his grave marker. One things for sure...... I wish he was still here to go and ride today.
