It is affordable and simple and you made it sound like it would greatly increase the cost if Velorex attempted the same thing, and it is a quickie modification. If charlie want's to tell how much I charged then he will. You may be very surprised at the price but it's not for me to say. The deal was between Charlie and myself and not public information.

Johnny,
Ease off there, Partner. I asked a question of pappyXmas and you gave me a short answer. In an open forum questions are allowed. Answers are optional.

Great job, Mr. Sweet, the results are very impressive. I worked for one of the big 3 auto makers, in product development for 30 years, so understand the effort and engineering that had to go into such a project. Thank you for the job, and posting the story.
Thanks Lloyd, I to was with one of the big three starting out almost fifty years ago At General Motors institute. I moved on and It's been one grand ride and I'm not done yet. As of late I'm working on a three wheel Tilting Vehicle project that I've taken a $10,000 electronically controlled tilting mechanism and designed my own mechanical version that will cost $200 to build. I'm really into this Tilting Vehicle project, it will fill out my three wheel vehicle adventure with sidecars, trikes, and the Tilting Vehicle. The original concept came out of GM thirty years ago, and Its held my interest for twenty five years. With retirement and my position in life I can spend the time on this project as long as my health holds out, its now or never. The biggest problem with guys like us it our minds never stop, and it drives us nuts when were not designing something.
Thanks again for the kind words.

Or as I saw today, that the continued work of 18 years gets destroyed by dummies in a few month....
It takes a lot for me to out rage. But today I could not hold back, and had to say to the last intelligent guys in that steel sales what stupidities and damage their followers and nowerdays contractors did.
Wherefore someone gives his best for years, if soon idiots take over?

I just ran across this, typical Sweet!
As I see today this comment of mine from 3 1/2 years ago. My wife gave me the surprise that the main subsidiary of the steel sales was shut down from Thursday to Friday 2 weeks ago without any advance note. Stupid MBA.
My good buddy Alvaro "(Black bird) Zanate", the storage foreman was unemployed for exactly 1 day. Good guys never have trouble to stay home for long.
A lot changed in these 3 1/2 years and I am thinking about to hire a man of the caliper like Johnny Sweet for to put a sidecar to my new W800. Manfred Stahmer a racer since the fifties. Old in years and golden, but nothing slow and nothing old at all in brain.
