Need some help from 'bent owners

[Kurt]

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.

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