Doing fine. Thanks. Doing a little bit of both. I have learned to never try to avoid trouble because it always finds you somehow. How are you doing? Those are some nice looking bikes.

I’m doing fine, tired a bit, but still plugging on. Got another chapter in the new book done.

I was a professional mechanical designer for some 14 years, I ought to be able to build a decent machine by now. With the huge number of pending retirees, I bet an ‘older guy’s Trike’ would be a seller. Fun to ride, stable as hell, and with pretty good mileage (40-45 MPG with the V-8’s) and I have a an idea for a design for a Hybrid drive Trike that would push 100 MPG, highway speed of around 70, and cost around $20,000 retail. I’ve even worked out an electronic controlled system to lean the rear wheels into the curve to give two wheel stability to a three wheeled machine. Improves safety and handling, and allows even higher road speeds with improved control and braking. If I ever find a backer, you can help me build them and sell them, ought to be fun for a couple of crazies like us!
