Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!
I've seen this "creation" before, but without the numbers (or, maybe I just never noticed before). I have ridden unicycles most of my life and can imagine how to ride this, but anything except extremely slow starts and stops would be impossible. It would be a sure death machine on the street!
The only way I can see this as a racing machine would be if the rider constantly dragged his steel-soled boots like in flat-track racing. Did they learn nothing from the days of the penny-farthing about quick stops? At least a penny-farthing had a tiny rear wheel to create some semblance of balance and safety(?)!

Sidecar could hold it up, balance would be no issue!
Or, one could add a straight board out the back with a standard battery attached, that would automatically balance the thing! Low rolling resistance because of only one wheel, could use bt-45 mounted backwards, would last a lifetime.
I need a rally!

Never meddle in the affairs of a dragon, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Me 2, Loren! In fact, I would rather have your Cushman Eagle than any Harley! It's just '50's retro COOL!
Somehow, Tony, I don't think this thing was really ever meant to be ridden! Just an exercise in design! There is another version with a much larger wheel where the rider and all the works are at the bottom inside so their weight makes it go and stop. Still, not a really quick stop, though!
