Awe,, yep Larry,, that picture is really hard to look at,, whoever that is riding off on your trike sure got one gorgeous bike my friend!! I wish him nothing but the best and many many miles of pure fun - he sure picked a beauty!! Cant wait to hear from him and hopefully he is the type of person who will keep us up to date on his journeys..
Now, about your future purchase.. I CAN NOT WAIT TO READ REPORTS OF YOU FOLKS RIDING YOUR NEW SLINGSHOT!! I was at a buddys house last night, he pulled out a recent copy of Cycle World that had the Slingshot in it.. I was telling him about your endeavor and choosing the Slingshot.. We were talking about the difference between the Slingshot and other trikes and he hit on something that, for some reason, never occurred to me.. He pointed out what he perceived as the advantages of sitting side by side..
We chatted for quite a while about those advantages.. After discussing some of the experiences the passenger would have by being "up front", it occurred to me how many times in our cross country touring I had looked in the mirror to try and get a glimpse of Tippy's smiling face... I told my buddy that I could see where just being able to see Tip sitting there beside me would be a HUGE advantage!!
Anyway,, I wish you folks nothing but pure happiness in your move to a Slingshot.. I gotta hunch you two are in for some real special times and I cannot wait to hear about them!!
