Re: How many bents are in your neighborhood?

[Sticker Jim]

Unfortunately, none - in Barrie, ON.

I have heard tell that there is at least one bent (of unknown brand) and an
older retired gentleman with a Kett, a Greenspeed and a Swift, but I've
never seen them (and I'm out on the trikes, daily, all over town ). Two
other homebuilders in Wasaga Beach, ON have built about 10 trikes between
them and our 17 or 18 trikes are about the only bents in our area.

I'm slowly trying to "flood" the area with trikes, but it's a slow, solo
effort. The LBS's believe there is absolutely no market for bents/trikes,
yet I am stopped frequently, and talked to at every stop sign/light about
trikes and bents.

We'll keep flicking matches and maybe a goodly bent "fire" can be started.

Was just one that I know of at the Johnson Space Center. A gentleman with a
2 wheel ASS, don't know what kind. Now there's two. I just got a Hellbent
ST24 for the ride in to work. Other than mine I don't know of another within
3 miles of my home.

I am just up the street from JSC (Space Center and El Dorado) with a
Cycle Genius RDX.
