It was also the first tandem that my wife and I ever owned. However, ours wasn't half as nice. We bought it at a garage sale. It was full of rust and corrosion, and it had flats front and rear.
After two new inner tubes and a few hours spit and polish, the bike looked a lot better. It was still as heavy as a truck, and it handled just as awful as JamieElenbaas described, but it was good enough for us to realize that we liked tandems.
My efforts to clean up the bike yielded some profit when we sold it within a couple of months. We used that money to buy a nicer bike. Now we're on tandem number four, and we love it!
