Howdy! This is my first use of any board. Forgive my lack of knowledge on proper use. I am 57, married for 35 years, and l was born, and live near, Austin Texas. Two children, 25 and 28. I am also a cyclist, riding about 3,000 miles a year. I do the 180 mile BP MS150, and the 150 Velaro MS150 bicycle ride every year. I have a 2000 ZRX1100 and a 1984 Yamaha 750. Over the years I have built several interesting things, included a homebuilt aircraft called Dragonfly. It is a 2 seat side by side canard aircraft (tail on the front) that goes 160MPH on 65 horse power. I decided I wanted to build a three wheeler and of coarse I have to put the two wheels up front, and two seats so I could take a friend with me. My piloting drove me to find an F16 Canopy and that drove the design. It is called the Raptor. Looking forward to learning more details about the ZRX. It is definately the most fun I have had on a bike. I plan on buying a newer version ZRX in the future.
