Sold Mrs. Grouch's Greenspeed trike yesterday. A nice couple drove out from Indianapolis to buy it. Afterward we had dinner together and had a good time. I hope it serves them well.

The bike room sure looks empty now. What to do, what to do. I know that some will say that it's a requirement to acquire a replacement but, even if I were to get another bike, I have no idea what I'd want. Mrs. Grouch is perfectly content having just her Kett. I'm thinking this is the kind of problem that will eventually resolve itself. It always has in the past.

BTW do you have a way to hook up both your trikes to make a trike tandem?

Yes we do. In fact, we hitched them together for a 20 mile ride on Friday but, after about 20 yards, the quick link for the rear chain came disconnected and jammed in the derailleur. Made me real grouchy! I'm over it now.

One of the things I wanted to try out is how well we can communicate on the two Ketts linked together. I know 2 different DF tandem teams who own wired "Tandem Talk" innercoms, but neither likes them brecause you have to remember to connect and disconnect every time that you get on or off the bike. If we have trouble talking while we're riding, I guess that we'll have to try the more expensive, wireless version. I'm reserving some of Mrs. Grouch's Greenspeed money for that.

Definately retro enough for Retro. And if he forgets to check the line for a knot before the ride starts......
