I know, I have said repeatedly how much I love my recumbent Trike. And around town and going up and down the hill to my house it is great. But after joining my brother and buddies for a 30 mile segment along the highway (the were riding from Astoria, Oregon to Brookings, Oregon), I got the bug for a two wheel bike again, with just one track (each of the five tires on the trike and trailer has its own track). The two wheel bike will make it easier to avoid trash on the shoulder, and allow me to ride about a foot closer to the pavement edge. At the end of their trip my brother offered me his old Bob trailer that has a hard side tote, so he can get a newer lighter one with the soft side bag.
So a new project begins. I located a 2001 Vision LWB USS Recumbent for $500 on Craigs List. The original owner was selling for health reasons and included about $500 worth of extra parts, including both the original and a set of custom wheels.
For starters, I am just completing stretching the bike out about 1/2 foot to fit me. Then I have to learn to ride it. When I told my brother that shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks, he had a good laugh and said two months would be doing good. He rides a SWB Burley Recumbent, so he probably is right, but it does give me a good challenge.
