Well Mikey just put a mirror on the back of ur helmet Then if she complains about the view it is her own fault. Of course when u take the helmet off she is going to beat u with it.

We took "Big Yellow" to Thoroughbred Motorsports in Daytona to have the gear shift adjusted......(unable to get it out of park). Turns out it was just an electrical connection that was loose! Russel (with one "L") and Libby took care of it right away, as they always do! On the way back we stopped along Lake Harris (the largest lake in Lake County).....it's 31 miles around. We have about 4400 miles on the Stallion!
Mikey, thanks for ur updates. So little is know about the Stallion and there are so many who argue against it. I like reading your post and knowing everything is not negative about it. I hope U continue to enjoy ur ride.
Have a great week.

We will keep the updates coming! Seems like every day we are enjoying it more and more, and by the looks of the "viewing" numbers, it's one of the more popular threads!
When are they gona make a top for it? I am sure some after market will make a fold up top. You could drive all year rain or shine. Then it would give the smart car a run for the money. Not saying this to be a smart a***. I am serious. What a comuter that would be.. Put me at the front of the line.
John, we heard that if the manufacturer made a top for it, they would also have to add air bags, side air bags, safety belts, bumpers, etc., etc. Government regulations! I bet someone WILL make an after-market top of some sort and other add-ons! Have to wait and see.
Mikey how are you liking that Stallion? Im looking for a trike with an automatic transmission.
Great job Wayne. What is the trike part, The rear end etc.?
"Possum"...I like it a lot! The transmission is good, it's a 5-speed, good on acceleration. I have nothing negative to say about it. We took it back to Daytona for a couple minor issues, (nothing about the transmission) and everything is fine now! Don't forget....you have to *** brake with the left foot ***......which took me 3 minutes to get used to !!!
I put an order in for a red one. I Hope its not too long to get it.
"Possum"......We put our deposit the end of April 2006 and didn't take delivery until January 2008, but they were not in production yet! We felt it was worth the wait since it was what we wanted. Did you have to pay the new price??????
Here we are at Spook Hill in Lakes Wales, FL. It's an optical illusion and (after you stop and put the vehile in neutral) it seems to roll UPhill! It's neat.
Since we have over 5000 miles, it was time to change the oil! Had a hard time getting the oil filter off because it was on so tight! Had to chisel the filter off and had to remove the (oil filter) mount to get the base of the oil filter off. It was a fun job....NOT!
We got our new license plate yesterday, the same as we had on our 2003 Goldwing! We also had a passenger headrest made.
We are going on vacation. We'll be back in a couple weeks!!!
I saw only 2 stallions on the road at Americade and one had MFG. plats on it. Still not catching on. Got a Quote of $33,000 from the factory rep girl.
They might not be catching on in some places but they sure are in Arizona. Might have something to do with the weather here...ya' think? Lots of them around especially in the Phoenix area. I've talked to lots of the owners and they all rave about them and the great gas mileage.
It's a dry heat...........
I think with the gas situation as it is, They will become more and more popular. Everyone is looking at small fuel saving vehicles now, and the Stallion is a pretty cool looking ride. I'm thinking we may be looking at the shape of things to come...

WE're baaack...... We have a large number of squirrels in our neighborhood (or we used to, anyway)...... As the squirrels dart across the road, they stop and look up, and this is what they see last. (just a joke, Arn Butt)
