Busted....... aaarrrrrggggg.....!!! You were born at night Stevil but not last night, can't slip that one by you. The seat does look like an ironing board a little.... well a lot but in todays economy you sometimes gotta have two jobs. Getting ready to scoot out the door. See you all there!

OK...I'll post something, Stevil - I'm on my way!!! See you guys in a little bit
Thank you to the promoter for this cool event. We had fun. Attendance looked to be down from last year. That's too bad. We'll be back next year.
I'll post my camera pictures tomorrow. Here's a phone picture for starters. My buddy Bob trying out this sweet trike. Great design, excellent build quality.

Morning meeting before the 18-mile ride in the New England countryside:
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet ride – she rides as though you’re on a cloud! (Excellent metal work too!)
Hay – what’s up – from TALL BIKE to short bike, Stevil? :wink:
The start of one “Off-the-hook” musical instrument, specifically, a bass in the guise of a bicycle! What we are looking at is the bridge, strings, pickups and volume/tone controllers.
String tuning thingies
The creator and his masterpiece
Two of the coolest dudes I know (Graylock and Stevil) having a blast on a Rat Bike! (That is why we build them!)
Hahaha! That picture of Stevil and Graylock is hilarious.
Looks like I missed a great time. I had a commitment that I could not break.
ZygoteLittle. This bike is from a build off a few years back, Space Bike build Off. The bikes name is Stratoblaster, and the creator, member here, is "fsjaak". His build threads (text) are like science fiction novels.....Always GREAT reading and wickedly entertaining.

Thanks for the heads-up, KOTA; the detail/build quality on that bicycle is outstanding. It would be cool to hear what it sounds like when plugged into an amplifier – probably sounds unworldly.
You were missed, buddy.
You were missed, buddy.
Ya Larry, you were missed. Thought for sure I'd see you there.

I thought I had escaped the pain, but I was a little sore heading to school today...Stevil said:Great time, custom bikes ,trikes,4 wheelers,and 5speedjack ! And you can chat with the builders

My superior physique and conditioning have me feeling great this morning – the crutches are just a fashion statement.HPVF said:I thought I had escaped the pain, but I was a little sore heading to school today...Stevil said:Great time, custom bikes ,trikes,4 wheelers,and 5speedjack !

Here's some pictures of my lovely wife enjoying the Skid Out Big Wheel, Graylock's recumbent and the ski trike thingy.
She told me that I'll be building one of these very soon.
We both enjoyed riding this. A chain is endless but sometimes it has two edges and only one surface!
And these things were fun but I couldn't get the hang of it, she didn't have any problem.
Thanks so much to those who worked to put this event on, I look forward to next year.

there's a great atmosphere of sharing at this festival:
and riding the trail is great fun:
next year we decided to leave the rat bikes at home, bring our road bikes, see the festival for a bit, then take off for Nashua, NH on the rail path, eat there, and return. Can't wait.
