Now where is the fun in that I ask? Yes I do have a stationary but find it a bore for one and the seat is of poor quality as well, but so is the whole cycle for that matter (it is a cheapie). I simply bought it to give it a go, but haven't really the room for it in my 850sq home so I gave it to my sis to use.

Nothing is out of the question, Bob. I am considering the RANS Formula LE or maybe the V-Rex w/ XL Frame and will give them a go when I test ride the lot, though I know these are 2 wheelers.

I feel your pain, dude. I am getting my third caudal epidural tomorrow morning, the first two being two weeks and 4 weeks ago. The first two did help the leg pain for a few weeks but it seems to be returning already so I do not have very high hopes for this third one lasting long. I injured my back back in 1977 and have been enduring ever since. It was not until 2001 after it finally gave out on the job when I finally caved in and opted for surgery. Sure wish I was on comp still. I took the pay off under duress back in 2003 which was squat compared to what I endure still. Anywho, it is what it is I guess. Things could be worse for me and I realize this.

Rich, I did receive your IM, but being a newbie I cannot reply so I am forced to do so here instead, Sry. Anywho, you are right about Bikeman, and I agree that the quality of the Rover concerns me based on the photos, but the price tag is hard to argue with. Even so, though I will give it a try I think I may be overlooking this model and start with either the TT Path or Cruiser being they are similarly priced. Too, an 8 speed concerns me as well, which brings me to consider the Catrike Villager with 27 speeds for its higher seat, and if I am going that far then the Trail if I can handle the lower seat. Thats about all I can afford in regards to a trike. I would LOVE to consider a GS GTO or even a GT3, but these are simply out of my reach.

And again, Bob...the Deltas are not out of the realm of possability either.And I heed your advice in regards to ease of getting up and down and the assist of the handle bars. How many times I wished I had built some sort of handle over my bed for those few weeks after surgery when I have such a hard time getting out of bed. Or trying to get up from under the car after changing the oil and what not. There is something to be said about a high handle bar. Rich mentioned to me that Greenspeed has a fairly inexpensive option to help you get up out of the seat using a set of grab bars that attach to the steering arms. My being somewhat of a forced to retire prototype I am willing to bet I could come up with something that would work if I put my mind to it.

I cannot begin to express my appreciation for all the input I have received in such a short time. As I mentioned before, I plan to make a trip out to a NY dealer soon enough and spend a few days trying everything I can get my hands on, if I last that long that is, so I will be sure to take my Android with so that I can look back on all these notes
