It really was a fun ride. I think RBM was surprised by the high turnout. During the post ride activities, they suggested maybe having monthly rides.

Woody informed us that this has been a record year for trike sales for them. To date they have sold 52 Catrikes and a lesser number of other brands.

Glad to see them warming up to the trike community! Now if us two-wheeler bents could get some respect! [smiley=duel.gif]

I wonder if they'd let me join since my bike is made by Catrike... LOL. Looks like a great turnout and lots of fun!

Nope, don't think so. You would need to trade the Musashi for a 700. :D

Just put training wheels on the front and they probably wouldn't even notice.

Hey Kenny,
I just noticed that, if you turn it upside down, your icon would look great for Halloween.

I stole it from a halloween site years ago and turned it upside down. My user name "freakflyer" is a skydiving term that describes a form of flying that includes headdown, so it represents me flying headdown.

I actually have a helmet with the pic painted on so that when I am headdown the face appears upright.

Nice pics, thanks Jay.

We missed y'all by about 5 minutes thanks to a little interruption as we were getting ready to load up.

Looks like it was a better turnout then expected, very good!

We'll try to make the next ride if I'm not too busy with welding up the new prototrikes.

*snicker* It would have to just be one training wheel, otherwise I'd be a quad.

I am so glad RBM had this trike fest---they must have liked my suggestion
and too bad I could not make it that day [smiley=sad.gif]
been ultra busy since school started, so busy have not had time to ride my trike (head hung low in shame!) [smiley=sad.gif]:'( [smiley=sad.gif] [smiley=sad.gif]

have also decided to retire from 27 yrs of teaching so all my energies turned toward that event. [smiley=dbanana.gif]
