PERFORMER JC-70 AND JC-20 ASSEMBLY
Here is a video showing in detail the assembly of a couple of models of Performer tadpole trikes. It starts out showing what comes in the box the buyer receives and then proceeds on how to put it all together.
RECUMBENT TRIKE DOG ATTACK
I am sure many of us have had to deal with loose dogs which come at us. Some are friendly while others are vicious acting. We never know what may result. For certain it is scary and unnerving. Nobody wants to get attacked by a dog and bit. I have experienced it and had to make a trip to the emergency room as I could look right down inside of my arm as a result of a bad dog bite. And the owner wasn’t even willing to pay for my medical bills. Here is a video by Ed Miller, a well known tadpole trike pilot. He is also known for his trike canopies .
Loose dogs are extremely dangerous. I have had a few incidents where they ran right in front of me and put me down when I was on bicycles and motorcycles. One of my friends had a loose dog run right in front of his bicycle and he suffered for months recuperating from his injuries. And most dog owners who allow their dogs to run loose have very bad attitudes and basically tell the victim “F____ you!” if you dare say anything to them.
BUMPIN’ INTO BENTS
More and more I too am “bumpin’ into other tadpole trikes out on the trails. No, not literally. I have not collided with any of them, but I sure am seeing more and more of them making their appearance. I like seeing the numbers growing.
FIRST RIDES ON TADPOLE TRIKES
I like what the wife says at 2:45 into the video below … “I see long rides in our future”.
