Wow!!! Fire breathin' Ole Red here can shore blaze a trail; but . . . Seems her designers plumb forgot to put any shock absorbers on her. I've been sporting an ace bandage and some new padded gloves; since the second day after I rode it. Beings I couldn't keep my eyes on the road all the time; I hit a small hole in the asphalt and the jolt radiated up through the handlebars like somebody swated my wrist with a 1/2" fibreglass rod. I got that rascal shut down and grabbed my left wrist; like I'd been shot. "Scaphoid fracture; second day on the bike."
Called Chris Head; and he said; "Well we've got an upgrade for the front forks and a post shock that goes under the bicycle seat." I said; "You intentionally set out to hurt folks; so you can try and sell 'em upgrades? How ironic ! ! !

About two weeks after I had my Smartmotion "Pacer"; I put the settings in Cadence Mode and 2nd. of five gears on the digital gauge. I rode 23.6 miles that morning. Second gear still pushed me along at 12 to 13 m.p.h. It was an incredible journey; hills and all. Of the ten red bars at the bottom if the gauge; I still had six bars remaining. Pedaling wasn't tiring any at all. Turning the pedals is only an action. Turning the pedals turns the generator; which sends a trickle charge back to the battery. The downside is; when the battery cycles it's last time; a new 17.5 Amp Hour Battery; will cost me a $1,000.00. Be sure and ask for street tires. This is not an off road bike; and the little knobbies will burn off fast on asphalt.

Life's Precarious; for sure. One bright an' cheerful moment it's all Aces; then you're face deep snortin' melancholy pie. " Was that an emergency room I saw next door to that amusement park?"

O.k. On a more serious note. Blame it on my English Professors. I wasn't warned by them jargon sculptin' educators; that creative writing would lay dormant; an' flare up!!!"

Imagine the jawdroppin' in your town, when they spot a feller rollin' Uphill; at ten miles an hour. Can't ya hear the hummm; "Man;... I need me one of them!"
