Need some help from 'bent owners

Thanks for the input, keep it coming!

Over 70 bikes so far. I'd like to get a sample size of about 100 if possible. So far, SWB is in the
lead, followed closely by LWB, then Trikes, then CLWB. ASS outnumbers USS almost 2 to 1. More
detailed stats when I finish up.

own several, please include each type. The different types are:

LWB - wheelbase > 60" SWB - wheelbase < 50" CLWB - wheelbase 50-60" Tandem Trike Lowracer - seat
height < 12" -or- Can you put your hand on the ground and support your bike while still seated?

Also, please include USS or ASS.

Thanks a million, Kurt

P.S. If there are any dealers out there that can help me out with some statistics I would be very
grateful.

Geo, Yeah that makes sense, but this is a pretty informal survey, so the data should be ok for that
purpose. Thanks, Kurt

I am guessing that your samples are screwed.. er.. I mean 'skewed'! I'll bet that the lower-end
models are less represented in this NG than actually exists in the world. I know, you didn't
ask! :-)

I ride a SWB USS un-lowracer.
