Hope you were able to join us for one or more of our Triadics family reunions in beautiful Eureka Springs, Arkansas area. The Wanderlust Campground, 468 Passion Play Road, in downtown Eureka Springs was our home away from home for our first three Triadics Family Reunions and some members are ready to make reservations for hotels, cabins or campsites for our fourth Triadics Family Reunion being held the first weekend May 30 - June 3, 2018 at Cloud Nine RV in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Check them out to make reservations. Their website address is http://www.cloudninerv.com. Everyone is welcome. Come early and stay late or just come over for a day, if that is all the time you have free.

If anyone would like to help in the planning or staging of the next Triadics family reunion, please contact Lefty at TRIADICSTRIKERS@gmail.com

Ozarks Trikers

Hello from the Ozarks Trikers,

Well, Spring is here and none too soon. We are gearing up for the Reunion in June and will be meeting the Second Saturday of April at Golden Corral in Branson to discuss final details. The last few months have seen steady growth in membership for the group and, as always, we are expecting good things for the group. Lots of folks have been asking for information on Hotels in the Hot Springs area and all I can tell you is there's a wide range of prices and quality places to stay, so check them out. It's hard to recommend anything, since this is our first year in the area.

We have a limited supply of shirts for the reunion, so get yours now.

See you in June.

Hello Trikers,

It’s approaching MC riding weather, so check those trikes out and make sure they are roadworthy and safe BEFORE the ride. I think most experienced trikers have had their fair share of breakdowns during trips and that can dull any outing. I know I have had everything from starters malfunctioning, flats and clutch cables, just to name a few. Had the whole wiring harness burn up on me while traveling from Utah to Wyoming. I have to say that there are some pretty desolate places out there. Once had a pack of cigarettes (which was left on a rear deck) that vibrated into the fan on a VW. You wouldn’t think a pack of smokes would do that much damage to parts. I’m a believer now. I quickly learned the value of Brotherhood; therefore, I will always stop if a rider is in need, to see if I can be of any assistance.

Now then, as far as Triadics Central Branch news goes, it’s supposed to snow here in Kansas this weekend, but good weather is around the corner, so I can make a road trip to lock in our Rally location and dates. I’ll post those as soon as available. On a bit of bad news, our Branch Co-Leader, Cowboy Countryman, has informed me that his pending health problems will prohibit his further helping. Please join me in wishing him well on his Birthday April 4th.

Since I’m on that subject, the birthday of Ron T of NE is on April 22, and Bill M of KS has his on May10.

Happy Birthday. Enough said.
