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.

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.

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.

Oh I'm sure they'd loooove that, Jay. Wink
