One of my friends rides motorcycles and they take long road trips. One of the guys in the group is in a wheelchair. He is so capable at getting around they sometimes forget he is in a wheelchair. At one stop as they were loading up to leave some a-hole was asking who is the pussy that rides a tricycle, just as the guy in the wheelchair comes out. He said I am, and proceed to get on the three wheeler, and stow his wheelchair all by himself. The a-hole just stammered "oh, sorry man."

Those rigs designed for folks confined to wheelchairs are truly genius. I tip my hat to the designers and the guys n gals that get out there and enjoy life regardless of the hand they get dealt. May we all find the courage to give adversary the "finger".

Good eye sir.
And it also happens to be the place where my H6 2.4 was born again!

Re: the trikes for the disabled, that would sure be a charity worth supporting. I'll bet a lot vets would dig that!

CDC Warns: Alaskan Salmon May Have Tapeworm
https://www.yahoo.com/news/cdc-warns-alaskan-salmon-may-171657255.html

Quote:
Tapeworm infection has been clinically rare in the U.S., but this new study suggests that we might be at greater risk than previously anticipated. To avoid an infection entirely, the CDC recommends consuming only adequately frozen or cooked fish - cooking or baking fresh fish on 145 degrees Fahrenheit for four or five minutes denatures the worm, and its larvae, entirely, claims Dr. Patrick Okolo, chief of gastroenterology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

I am sure our vets would like to know more about it too. Every year I get the honor of helping out with the Sacramento Wounded Warrior event with regards to scuba diving. I bet a mfg of these would get some interest from some of the vets. One year there was a mfg that offered a fishing sea kayak that allowed for several different propulsion options depending on the individuals needs.

We spend all year getting out ropes tied up in knots, then spend one day with these HEROs and you will quickly "shut the hell up" about any petty issues. Especially after talking with these folks and their human spirit. Truly inspiring......



Any pics of your H6 2.4?

Cheers

It's been a few years since the build Henry at Supertec did the work - his shop is in Fallbrook.

Henry takes better photos these days - glamour shots even - but these were just FYI pics.
But a better engine build I don't think I could have gotten!
