| Now ya done it. When I win the lottery I'll buy one, but that means I'll have to start buying tickets. Maybe I could talk every one on the list into sending me just one ticket each and that way I still wouldn't have to buy any. My youngest daughter walked into the room while I was looking at it and her comment was Sweet I want one. Guess that means I better think about getting two. Life is complicated. Craig  |

I have always believed that if God wanted me to win the lottery, then God will find a way for me to win the lottery without buy any tickets.  _________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |

| I must say, I just don't get it.
I have seen them priced around $25,000. For that kind of money, you could get a Mazda Miata or MiniCooper. It will do everything that this trike can do and more. Better warranty, more places to service it, more luggage space and you can put the top up if it rains.
The only thing that I can see the trike having is better acceleration. But what do you do if it rains? Each person can suit up, but then the inside of the trike gets wet.
At least, when you trike a regular motorcycle, you still get to sit on a motorcycle seat, feel the wind in your face, shift gears and have a handlebar in your hands instead of a steering wheel. |

| They are now priced close to $30K. It has a Ford Focus drive train. Too rich for me. It is pretty cool looking though.  |
