Carbon_One Posted September 6, 2013 Author #26 Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) "A dumb question, you still liking the trike?? " Yep still loving riding the trike. It's not going anywhere but with me on it. The car might cut into some of my riding time but then that's no different than say someone who also has a boat. For sure I can go out in the car on those days the weather isn't co-operating for bike riding. Wrench I hear you on getting in and out of that car. The first couple times I wondered if I made the right decision and I thought the previous Mustang we had was low. Hahahaha Actually getting in wasn't much of a problem ( just plopping in did the trick) it was the getting out that was tough. Technic gets it done. Larry Edited September 6, 2013 by Carbon_One

Larry Yes, that was what I liked about the droptop we had, you didn't really have to be concerned with the weather reports. Just PLEASE do not do what I see a lot of convertible owners do and ride around with the top DOWN and the windows UP, , defeats the whole purpose. The getting out was what we had the big problem with too, yes, it is all in the technique(plus some good strong forearms!). Enjoy it!!!
rickardracing Posted September 8, 2013 #29 Posted September 8, 2013 Larry, you might have to take it down to the Dragon.............
Carbon_One Posted September 8, 2013 Author #30 Posted September 8, 2013 Larry, you might have to take it down to the Dragon............. That's a possibility. http://gapmiatas.com/ This could be interesting providing it's not during the International Rally. Have to check dates. Larry
Wrench Posted September 9, 2013 #31 Posted September 9, 2013 Larry, you might have to take it down to the Dragon............. 4 wheels are ALMOST as much fun as 2 on the Dragon, went thru a couple of times in the Sebring, you just gotta be sure to have the top down. I checked out the Tail of the Dragon website a few days ago and it says they have a stoplight on it now because of construction? That'd be a bummer,,,,,.

Just a ways past the big turnout where you can pull off the road on both side. Where the road straightens out and runs along the river. Their doing rock slide repairs so shutting down to one lane.
