Have you ever seen the Etrike? Stu offered light scooter donors as an alternative drive train way back but it's a mice budget project too. vids show cornerings are quite amazing. If this was kitted it could be a nice alternative as well but only drawings available which makes an entry level a bit steep for many starters I guess. Have a browse!

I took out the Eco-Exo-R today. I did about 80 - 90 miles, stopped for coffee and enjoyed the sunshine. Temps were in the mid 80's (F) and just right for a cruise. Got lots of stares and people taking pics with cell phones. Ah yes, Tis the season to enjoy the sunshine.

Today was just for me to enjoy and unwind. The Eco-Exo-R ran as "smooth as a cat over glass". It was a great ride and wonderful weather. Next ride will have pictures. I am about to embark on a 10,000 mile odyssey on my Victory XCT Crossfire Trike. It is a Lehman conversion. The weather looks quite promising on and after the 18th. .  ? I will be going through states like South Dakota, Montana and Northern Idaho. All known for their mountains and/or wide open spaces, along with unpredictable weather. I am looking forward to seeing old friends, standing on the banks of a nice trout stream, with a few in my creel. It will be a time for celebrating life, old times and for what lies ahead. Roger Worcester, Massachusetts PS: Depending on how Fred does with his trike, we could have a newly registered Eco-Exo-R in Pennsylvania soon. He has been in contact with me on some of the detail work. Sounds like he has things well in hand. |

link link  I am having some pin striping done to my Victory Crossfire Trike. Tomorrow I am starting my long cross country ride. The trike will be double checked today and loaded. I depart at 5:00 AM in the morning and when the day is finished I will be somewhere around Toledo Ohio. Total distance for the day will be over 700 miles. I have not been neglecting the Eco-Exo-R. I had it out for a nice ride this week. Actually I went on a ride twice so far. Not as much as I would like, but I have been getting the kinks out of the Victory after its conversion to a trike. There were more than I thought, but at least they are addressed and corrected. The Eco-Exo-R got a wash and wax, it is now beneath a cover tucked away in the garage.

Well for a neglected trike it's looking good Roger. I have to confess mine's been hauled up over the winter neglected in the barn too but I took it out for a spin down the country lanes yesterday and loved every moment of it in the sunshine.  I'm hoping to drive over to Beaulie in it at the weekend but that's just 45 miles. Heavy rain today so I am hoping things wil have dried for Saturday or Sunday. Enjoy your trip Roger |

Now that's a picture. Beautiful Manor Home nicely set in the green English countryside. The trike looks great enjoy the ride.
I made it to my first stop in Idaho. It was 2,8000 miles in 4-1/2 days. Tomorrow is trout fishing and a picnic with fried rainbow trout straight from the stream... with all the trimmings.

I just had a traditional fish and chips lunch from the local chippy. (You might need to look that lot up as it's a lot of English wording and tradition that doesn't usually translate to American, chips here are what you call French Fries only bigger) Doesn't quite match up with fresh Rainbow Trout picnic by a mountain stream that's for sure! Sounds like a great trip you're having there Roger all that's missing is the Eco Exo and I'd have asked/no demanded to see photos too. The photo of mine is just along the road where I park up some of the vehicles I don't have room for in the workshop which happens to be the barn belonging to the house in the pic. I should have got one of the Eco Exo in front of the hose at Beaulieu too really. Lots of old grand houses like that round here. not too many trout stream though  |

I am back from my ride out west. It was 30 days and 9,000 miles long. For the most part the weather was very good. The first 3 days however, were either wet or cold. After that wonderful riding beneath blue skies. The fishing was great, the seafood on the West coast was delicious as was the prime rib in Montana. The Victory trike ran great. The only issue was the headlight was lighting up the trees instead of the highway. I made an adjustment and all was good.
My longest ride day was 900 miles and my shortest was the 250 mile hops going to and from side attractions. While the 900 mile ride in a single day sounds like overdoing it, the location was Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota. All have 80 MPH speed limits, so "going the distance" was pretty easy.
Once I get more time I will post a few pictures, but for now I have a long list of things that need attention. It was a great ride, and I got to enjoy visiting family as well as the good friends I grew up with.
More Later

Would love to see some pics from that trip. I've done the Alps a couple of times to go hanggliding and did do a video of the trip down there and back in the car. Found this little stuffed kids dragon that I had clamped on the glider's uprights and on the car's windscreen wiper, which was a bit of fun. Did some editing of it when I got back and wound up recording over my flight round Mont Blanc. Not a happy bunny! Days of VHS eh
