FIRST RIDE - sunday night 01 June 2008

managed to get the trike into the lift after all. i even had... say 15 to 20 cm more space between the front tire and the lift ceiling! should have made her longer! dammit!

at first, my body was automatically trying to counter the lean of the bike, then it occurred to me that i was no longer in control. having two wheels behind meant that i was a puppet and the less than perfect road was the puppet master. good fun!

still need to fine tune the rear derailer as the chain tried ghost shifting every now and then. other than that, the first ride was a good one. 

oh yes, need to work on that dreaded springer out front. my 3" wide tire tends to rub the inside of the fork as i made tight turns.
