On this most unique and sacred of American holidays.....i say:

Being the son of a decorated WW2 US Army Air Corps pilot who was a real hero....and proud supporter of our incredible law enforcement who protect the homeland and keep us all safe....i say thank you for your service and sacrifices. God bless our Police and Military members.

Det. John R. Lutz, Retired
Pennsylvania State Police

At the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, the guns fell silent.

They grow not old as those who are left behind grow old, we WILL remember them. Lest We Forget.

Some progress on the trike, small steps. I made a stencil of the area on the bike that we're using to attach the rear sub-frame too. Transferred that shape to 3mm MSteel and cut out the LHS plate, some rough shaping and a 16mm hole. Fits ok, but still needs some more shaping and mounting holes drilled. The stencil transfers to the RHS with a little bit of allowance to be made for jiggly poke poke fitting.
From these two plates will be welded the connection points for the new swing arm pivot point.

Stencil board......living up to its name! I was introduced to it 20 plus years ago and I still use it to make one off parts. Quicker then designing it on the PC and leaves plenty of room for fudging..LOL
