Stallion Owner - Mikey

[mikey]

We took "big yellow" out for a ride today in horse country. He almost jumped the fence to get to his "blind date"! See it at: mikeysstallion.snapfish.com/snapfish

[mikey]

Oops, sorry, that didn't work, even for me (and I know the password). I'll try again.

[mikey]

Here's "big yellow" waiting for his blind date (yeah, on the left).... hope it works!

Great picture Mikey. Keep em coming. BTW those pinstripes really added to the look of your trike.

[mikey]

Thanks, here is a picture of Mountainman adding pinstripes at the GWRRA rally in Kissimmee this month!

[mikey]

I don't understand why my wife wants her own trike.....she ALREADY has one!

[mikey]

We took a ride downtown and parked in front of the Lake County Courthouse. We also put some reflectors on the back of "Big Yellow". What do you think????

I don't understand why my wife wants her own trike.....she ALREADY has one!

That looks like the little blue trike that sits in Motor Trike`s showroom.

[mikey]

OK, you caught me! (It was just a joke.) We were in Troup, Texas last October. Suzie took us on a tour of the facility. (The little blue trike is a little on the small size for her anyway!)

Eh Russ,

What is the wait time for a Stallion a member of my TRI Chapter said he put his order in January- February and expects delivery September--Nov.. He was order 200 something and they were working on 26 somthing like that............

If takes that long it could really hurt your business


RIDE WITH PRIDE

[Russel with one L]

The estimated time right now is if a order is taken today roughly 5 months. It could be a little sooner as production increases but in manufacturing you are at the mercy of your suppliers. If your suppliers can't supply your parts then your production slows down. I have had customers waiting 2 years who have now received their unit who are tickled to death. With any new product there will always be unexpected delays. For over 20 years if you ordered a new Harley Davidson you could expect to wait 12 months. It didn't seem to hurt their business. We had a customer in during Bike Week that said Ferreri had a 1 year waiting list and they have been building cars how long?

So no matter what a manufacturer does there will be those that are willing to wait and then there will be those that are not. I will say that our customers here in Daytona have been very patient and understanding for the extended time that they had to wait. I understand that people want things right now. I get like that my self sometime. Hopefully soon production will be up to the point that we will have units on the floor for those who want to walk in and ride home.

My Grandma always said if it is worth having it is worth waiting on.

We went to Sugar Loaf Mountain in Central Florida, said to be the second highest point in Florida...........we were dizzy and got nosebleeds! All at about 312 feet!!!!

[NIGHTRIDER]

Has anyone had a problem with their DMV re registering the Stallion?

[mikey]

We are not aware of any problem in registering the Stallion, but the dealer registered it when we bought it and then we got the tag. They did NOT say they had any trouble. We received the registration and tag within a week.
We are ready to go away for a few days to Alabama, so we let you know how the Stallion performs!

[mikey]

Zook, we will be going right past you and we will stop by. Are you open on Monday????
Mikey

[Papa Zook]

Mikey, no we are closed on Monday but we live just 1/4 mile from the shop. What time will you be in the area? We will meet you there. PM me you cell number.

[mikey]

We are back! We stopped in Dothan, Alabama and visited with Bazooka/Zook and his family for a while. If you are in the area, stop by......real nice people! The weather was cool but refreshing.......used our Gerbings. The Stallion performed well except for one thing.......after a gas stop I could not get it out of "park" this happened once before)! Since this was Monday and I knew Thoroughbred Motorsports in Daytona was closed, I called Troup, Texas and a tech rep told me how to get it into neutral! I have an appointment next week with Russel (with 1 L) in Daytona to fix the problem.

[kj5ix]

I see that she Test Drove the same unit that Tammy (my SO) did.

I don't understand why my wife wants her own trike.....she ALREADY has one!

[Trikerjim]

WOW Mikey! You gotta be more careful about who your hangin out with...
Glad you had a good trip, and hope you get that glitch fixed ok.

[mikey]

This is the reason my wife wants her own trike........maybe the view will be better!
