Do you mean this sentence- =A0Power-assist and IHPVA velomobiles are not
it! -?

I put a Currie motor on my bent years ago, and when I wanted
information on higher gearing, possible transmissions, lithium battery
upgrade pros or cons; I was totally shut out of that "old boys club".
No secret ring, I guess, so no Power Assist Yahoo club. I am not a
gril either, whether or not that applies.

Same with velomobiles. I wanted to know how to back them up, get some
"tip over" advise, just basic "dos and donts" from experienced
velomobile pilots; when I planned on adding a velomobile to my garage
in 2003.

I was refused entrance to both those; even though I was on IHPVA
Trikes, and was a member of several Yahoo clubs.

And of course, you know how I broke up my bent collection ('02-'03);
selling for pennies on the dollar just to move them, destroying and
giving away other bents and partss. I kept only my TerraTrike in many
boxes until Social Security was positive that I would not sell the
bents for a profit- then quietly re-assembled it.

Bents have been a frustrating and often difficult hobby for me; but the
enjoyment while the world flys by when I ride my bent makes it
worthwhile.

Yes, very quiet. I decided to dump my bent and move on to something I
can get advise about. Power-assist and IHPVA velomobiles are not it!
Must be some other way other than silence.

I really thought this was a DOA newsgroup! This is the first posting in a
couple of days! At least!

Logically, this should be a laid back group.

This is nice to know. I didn't know that they had moved on, as the more
persistent had gained killfile status.

I'll be loading up my new Zefal Hpx3 frame pump on my RANS Tailwind in a few
days here, as the last snows are off the road, and riding.

And thank you again for the heads up on the frame pump.

No need for a killfile recently, as the trolls appear to be sleeping
under their bridges (or are over on rec.bicycles.misc).

Maybe we should cross-post something about racing recumbents to
rec.bicycles.racing - that is usually good for an ON TOPIC flame war. ;)
