I am pleased to finally announce… 6

Final Prep for my Goblin Cricket Tail FairingSilk’s wait for the Goblin Cricket Tail Fairing, storage version, is now  measured in days. I received a message from Mr. Jeff Bales this evening that he is shipping my fairing today. It has really been a long time since my May 25, 2009, order. I’m modifying my iHome speakers. More on that later. I’m hoping by this time next week, I’ll be able to show you my pictures of the fairing.

Kansas Ride Request accepted by Mr. G Reply

I travel everywhere with my little fur-girl (dog). She’s with me 24/7 and will be riding with me in her trailer. Consequently, my speed isn’t usually as high as most riders. Nor my distance endurance. I don’t plan to ride the whole day with you, but to unload one tike and trailer at your proposed destination and ride back toward you, then forward with you. I don’t want to impede your progress in any way, so my main objective is to help with your mechanical issues and maybe get some ride time with you, as well as some relaxation.

Mr. Giraldo has accepted Trikebldr [Bruce's] offer to ride with him and check his trike. The two are in the process of coordinating the details. They are likely to meet-up on Saturday. Bruce will be hauling his faithful companion Sierra.

Bruce is from Kansas City and has been following Mr. G’s Tour of Discovery though my postings. He became concerned when Mr. G reported his right tire problem and wanted to help at the point. Subsequently, he contacted me in an effort to ride and assist him with triking mechanical matters. Well, it’s going to happen!

I’m fortunate to have seen Trikebldr at two Catrike Rallies in Winter Garden Florida. My most recent in February/ March of this year.
