Title: The Stork arived today and brought me my new Baby!
Post by Don on Oct 26^th, 2010, 3:15pm

Hi Guys,

I just got back from a little ride on my new Trike, its a Sun ez3 sx. Its the one Jman had for sale and is a beautiful trike, very clean and rides liek a dream,,,,,,,,,,,I cant fall over : ) Urbinrider was gracious enough to pick it up and deliver it to me, Great guy whom i cant thank enough. Joe and I had been talking for the last week or so and he sent me a few more pictures and gave me some riding tips as to how it handles. We talked and figured i could probably ride it as we are close to the same size.

When the bike got here (Around Noon) i tryed it out and heck the thing fit me perfect, seat set up and legs were a perfect match! Urinrider came with a friend of his and she took a spin on my EZ-1 with the 20 inch conversion and she liked it enough to take it home......I had been talking with her about recombents and dogs and trikes for about a week and I thought she would like it as she already has a few recumbents of her own, really neat lady : )

I already put about 3 miles on the Tadpole trike today with no leg stiffness or anything and even took on a little hill : )

Going to set up the flag for it and make sure it have a pump and stuff in the bag just incase. tomorrow i will practice getting in and out of the pedals with those clip type shoes : ) I cant tell yawl how awsome it feels to be riding again and feeling safe while doing it. I think Eddie saw the smile on my face when i first got on the tadpole,IT ROCKS!

Thanks Joe and Eddie for helping me get back to the outside works again.

Don

Thanks Paul,

Yeah i cant really lean to well so corners will be at a slow speed for me. I am loving the trike though.

Thanks for reading,
Don
