we might do that day while we were waiting.
We decided to go to NASA Houston, only
several miles away. It was a very interesting
place. We spent the afternoon touring and
taking in the different sights and displays.
The next morning, Friday at 10 o’clock,
we went to the shop and our new tongue had
arrived. An hour later it was installed and we
were ready for the road once again.
I asked Everett what the charges were. He
told me that Escapade Trailer had warranted
the tongue on our five-year-old trailer at no
charge, which says a lot about the integrity of
the company. There would be no charge for
the installation, and all we owed was $75 for
the overnight shipping.
I told Everett that with all the time and
effort he had put in to help us that we wanted
to pay him for everything he had done, but he
would not accept anything.
I don’t know how we were so fortunate to
find people like Sam, Everett, and California
Sidecar to help us out. It’s something you
read about in Wing World that I thought only
happened to other people, and now it happened
to us.
How can you ever repay people for such
kindness to strangers in need
If you are in the Houston area, be sure to
stop by Houston Trikes and Trailers if you
need anything or just to say Hi. I guarantee
you will be warmly welcomed and treated like
family.

Trailer Frame Straightened
On a recent trip, my wife & I were going
to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to check out the
town and ride some of the roads around there
that we had read about and look at the leaves
that were changing to their fall colors. We
decided to trailer the bikes up there because
the weather predictions were for rain towards
the end of our stay. Trailering would give us
more time to ride the roads around there and
ride home in the dry truck.
We had stopped in Mena on the way up to
have breakfast at the Skyline Cafe when we
discovered that the tires on the trailer were
bad, they were wearing badly on the outside;
when we left home they both looked like new.
We decided to try to make Fort Smith to get
new tires and see what had happened.
Our stop at a Wal-Mart caught us off
guard when they refused to replace the tires,
citing some new memo that would not let
them do trailer tires anymore. A quick look
around found C&L Tire Co. They got us right
in, changed the tires, and then we found our
problem, a bent axle. We have no idea how
