			<link>http://catrike.yuku.com/topic/4375/t/VILLAGER-CUSTOMER-REVIEWS.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Pretty much set on a new Villager - probably going to go get it on Friday (actually I might convince my fiance to go down to Tucson with me tomorrow so I can
ride it and out some money down on it!). But even though I&#39;m basically convinced, let&#39;s here from some Villager riders about the pros and cons of this
trike!
<br>
<br>
Thank you for the info!

roadway.    Well I changed over to the XT fairing and the exact sames thing occured.  It reminds me of the bridge at Tacoma (previous thread some place) .  It
is a brand new this summer Expedition, that had just completed it&#39;s periodic maintainence for the year.  I have a bag I am carrying on a rack,.   My main

			<description><![CDATA[ It was night, and at the end of my 30-mile route there is a left turn which has an island tip to negotiate....well, the curbing is there, dark as the street,
and nothing within to break up the darkness. It&#39;s just a hole. Not realizing it was there, I hopped that curb into, then out of it doing about 17mph. The
front wheels were not affected, but the rear wheel was nearly tacoed. I didn&#39;t notice any damage on the remaining two miles because the Durango Plus HELD.
There wasn&#39;t even... ]]></description>

			<link>http://catrike.yuku.com/topic/4371/t/Need-some-help-on-dateing-a-trike.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I just  looked at a Road that was avertised as a ridden one time 2009. It is serial number CRO176,  It looks very old comparing the current model pictures to
this one. It has bar end shifters but the steering arms look strange and have some type of cream colored bushings. The front wheels are not quick release, no
headrest, no little nub on the boom to mount accessories, one clamp on the boom and it has no groove to index it, no flag or mount and the tires look to be dry
rotted. With that... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Looked at a Pocket today that I will probably buy for my son next week. I think the serial number was 158 (the numbers were really tiny and I couldn&#39;t
quite read the third one.) Any ideas from you knowledgeable folks about what year model this might be? The trike rode really well. I found no problems except
for a scrape on the bottom (which the owner showed me before I asked) because of it&#39;s low clearance with 16&quot; wheels all around. It appears to be very
well maintained. Age... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In about 7 months the only time I will be able to ride my trike will be at night, which will continue for 3 - 4 months (summers in AZ are kinda hot). Planning
ahead, and since this forum boasts such a cool community, I thought it wouldn&#39;t hurt to ask if anyone had some unique or especially effective night riding
solutions regarding lighting.

			<description><![CDATA[ I own a Cat Trail since July 1/09, I&#39;ve just bought a Windwrap fairing, maybe 3 weeks now, and have already picked up minor nicks and scratches. DUE, Im
sure, to the unbelievable amount of glass and other debris on the highways and side roads in my area.  So I&#39;ve been thinking if a removable vinyl or ???

			<description><![CDATA[ After a bit of time riding with my electric assist unit, I am more enthusiastic than ever.  I&#39;m doing rides in a reasonable amount of time that required a
full day before electrification of my trike.  I&#39;m having a ton of fun, getting better exercise, and feeling more motivated to go out riding.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;d be interested to read  the impressions of other riders who have electric trike experience.

			<description><![CDATA[ After more than 4000 miles, my 2006 Catrike 700 no. 69 has ridden its last mile. After my Sunday ride, I noticed some cracking under the boom. This frame was
built before Catrike added the gusset under the boom so I&#39;m confident that my new frame will outlast this one.
<br>
<br>
I dropped a quick email with a picture of the crack to Dana at Bentup. He contacted Catrike and a replacement frame is in the works. It pays to deal with great
companies like Bentup Cycles and Catrike.

might like to consider making a &quot;sport&quot; seat as an accessory.  I have more on seats in my <a title="blog" target="_blank" href="http://www.bikejournal.com/blog.asp?rname=trplay">blog</a>.<img src="http://www.bikejournal.com/images/trplaytwoseats%20copy.jpg" alt="image">

out with something over my arms. I bought a pair of fancy cycling arm warmers. Those things are NOT comfortable and feel like clam skin on. I was in Bed Bath

Well the weather was perfect -- cool and full moon. Lots of nuts out during the night riding.  The Moonlight Ramble is NOT for speed -- slow in heavy downtown
traffic (yes, at 2 in the morning in Houston), but the people watching ops were just too much fun.  This ride is TOPS!

			<description><![CDATA[ The BROL Velomobile page shows photos of a brilliantly simple wooden slat with frame-shaped cutout that Flarimer uses to prop up his Catrike. There is also a
suggestion for a Coroplast alternative, which opens interesting possibilities.  My concern would be an accidental slip of the slat.
<br>
<br>
I had thought of a folding stand to go under frame members much like the little neck stands for the beach or a smaller version of a folding stool. Perhaps such
things exist already for other uses.... ]]></description>
