Not gay, just flamboyant. I'm not going to comment 

on the goose to the rear. Will phone Monday, lean

steering trike design. Have 80 new bents coming in

in June. Have new model, "The Eagle", lightweight

aluminum 700.

Similar to this one, but a 700 with lighter stuff.

Later Racer,

Bill

Never mind. It went for $900 on ebay.  This is the second apparently
lightly used TE to go for less than $1000.

The rain and it's associated power is why I didn't show. Woke up at 4:30 and it
was real wet outside. Not woth the 65 miles to Vista View.

With our summer weather patterns, there's

always a chance of morning showers. I just

spoke with Joe, and I'm going down to So. Dade

and do a short ride with him Wed. Tomorrow

traffic....nice to have that.

learned!!

Looking forward to riding with y'all again when I return to the south in
October/November. In the meantime, if ye get to Oregon, come on by.

Hey,

I'm so happy we had a nice group of dysfunctional bent riders on today's
"ride-but-don't-learn-to-fix-anything" ride. As it has now become a tradition,
we started a LOT later than expected,rode a lot slower and a lot faster than
expected, had a thousand unscheduled stops, had a zillion mechanical failures,
lost a few riders and barely managed to survive a thunder storm. But being the
tough survivalists we are, we simply ignored the bad weather and invaded
Lester's diner for a GREAT lunch. The folks at Lesters were more than happy to
accommodate our 14 people party (I think it was 14, but it could have been 15 if
Catrike Steve had not quit on us) Hey Mr. Catrike Steve, I'm really sorry this

though hmmmmm… all of us would need to bring a trike to a ride Catrike Steve
could do cuz it is really hard to keep your balance when you're doing 3 Miles
per Hour.

The highlight of our event was without a doubt the RE-ENTRY of Mr LiveR Strong
Joe Keenan (a.k.a. Slow me butt Joe) I was soooooo happy to see him I didn't
know what to do. Honest. I was also so impressed with how good he looks after

thank you Shari and Jeff for making sure we were still alive after our

lightning was enough to scare us into having lunch. Now we have to fix this

Once again, thanks guys!!!

This is a M/L TE over by Ft Myers that seems to be having trouble
finding a home. It is on ebay and craigslist. I don't know the bike
or the seller (caveat emptor), but this is the second time I have
seen this for sale, and now it seems to be lingering. I'd buy it
myself, but I take a size M, and I prefer the disk rear dropouts.

This is not meant to be a commercial message, just an FYI.  I like to
know about used bikes, and maybe others do too.

Afer almost getting a car thrown on to him by a truck, fellow cyclist Boris
Johnson has a new mission.  He is the Mayor of London and almost having a near
death incident has him up in arms, he says he wants to put bike super highways
in throughout London were cars are not allowed.  This is a great plan..  If you
want to watch the video of the accident (I love Londons CC network of cameras)
or read more on his plan the link is below
