Did you really get lime green? :roll:

yeah, it's lime green. At the time it was the only color choice but after I ordered it I got an email asking me to pick a color...I thought what the heck so I chose midnight blue....I got green. I havent had the time to message them back or call the company to tell them I had 4 or 5 potential customers and that if they wanted the sales from me they better come up with somekind of solution but really, after assembling, tuning and riding it around town it's a ball to ride. I'm gonna ride it out to work pretty soon to see how long it takes me to get there. Riding it home is a piece of cake but TIME is the key.

umm... :roflol: :lol8: :roll_lol: :toofunny: ...I can't help it- I've gotta say it. Recumbents are funnier than motorized bar stools. They're like fat chicks & mo-peds. They're for fat guys to lean-back so their bellys don't hang...

I tried one in Vegas a few years ago, and it was kinda fun 'till I rode in front of some big windows and I saw myself. I started laughing so hard I spazzed-out in traffic and almost got hit. ...Uh, I'm sure YOU look great on it though, Grey... :mrgreen:

:lol8: I never expected this kind of reaction! Dont worry Y'all, I am a died in the wool DEDICATED MTB'r / DH'r...who pays out WAY too much in gas...even if it is only $3.08 up here. These days off (T,F,S,S,M) I am testing it out on the road but I still GOTTA ride the MTB!

How hard is to ride a wheelie on that bad boy? Have you taken it off any sweet jumps lately?

I rode off a gradual curb tonight...the rear shock works - that's about it. As for a wheelie...... :roflol: :roflol: :lol8: ....NO.

Looks like a comfortable seat. I would mind trying something new like that just for fun.

Very comfy...and has a headrest/baseball cap holder. The only thing I havent done yet is see how to put a camelback on the thing. Oh, and I'm gonna put a bell on it :lol8: or maybe a horn...I have both in the shop...

If you hit a wheel trap with the front tire, you will be wishing you were wearing a cup. :lol8:

:lol8: Y'all makea mea laugha! I rode it up to the ground breaking ceremony for the new Hampton Inn here in Green River this morning....I think I distracted the ceremony for a while, since none of em had ever seen a bike like this before. :ne_nau:

I never thought of painting the BOB ! Good Idea!

BUT, this weekend is dedicated to all things MTB! Tomorrow there's a grand opening of the bike trails system at the Current Creek Dude Ranch south of Rocksprings...over 200 miles of LEGAL trails there! There's gonna be tons of food & prizes & music...trailriding....more food. I am THERE since it looks like no ones a takin' to coming up and riding trail here :mrgreen:
