  1. Hey Tom,

    You are hereby invited to a New Year's Celebration on Jan 1st, at the
    locale where you purchased that great Sunset Lowracer of yours. Meet
    around 10 AM, rain, snow, or whatever. Bring a dish if you want.
    Expect the same crowd you've known for many years including celebrities
    holding world cycling records, multiple competitors from Battle
    Mountain, famous recumbent webmasters, and some of your silent
    supporters.

    This will be our 6th consecutive "start the New Year right" party. And
    NO KILLER BEE ASSWIPE will be needed.

    Contact the Seller for details.

    Porky - not really

    Will Jimmy Mac be there? 😉

    I should be able to find my way there - I can just follow the Fox
    River.

    You could all put your heads together and figure out how to actually win a race in 2006.

    Check out the HPRA racing results page:

    Look through the results and you will not find a case of a highracer
    winning over a carbon fiber composite splitter-plate lowracer.

    How many times do they need to go around the circle to egual one "RAAM."

    RAAM in many ways is more a test of team organization than bike speed:
    <http://www.adventurecorps.com/when/raam/1989raam2.html>.

    Put power measuring cranks (and riders with equal mass and frontal
    area) on a Bacchetta Aero and Velokraft NoCom [Fastest Unfaired Bike in
    the Known Universe] and see which is faster under equal power inputs -
    uphill, downhill, into the wind, any paved road in the US, Canada,
    Japan or Europe, etc. Unless the trial is done in more than 4 or 5
    inches of standing water, the NoCom will be faster than the Aero
    (assuming both bikes are properly setup and in good working order).

    Try this test. Take both bikes in question to the top of a small hill. Let go of both bikes without riders and tell us all which is the faster of the two.
    Until the time comes when either your test or mine is done, is it not premature to claim which is the fastest unfaired bike in the known universe?
    Isn't it time to bury the hatchet?

    It is entirely possible that Ed Dolan could be taken for God Almighty, but
    that is the only One he could ever be hypothesized for. Like God, Ed Dolan
    is a Great Ego and he will have no other Egos before him (least of all the
    likes of a Tom Sherman)!

    Tom Sherman rocks? Well, he has rocks in his head all right and he is surely
    headed for the old rocking chair, but those are the only rocks I know about
    in connection with him.

    Regards,

    Ed Dolan - Minnesota

  9. Tom,

    Lugging around a body mass in excess off 600 lbs is quite diffficult.
    Jimmy Mac's domain is restricted to the 4 walls as pictured at his
    Forest Glen Compound within Chicago City Limits:

    http://highracers.blogspot.com/2005/12/killer-bees-hire-jimmy-mac-as-their.html

    I'd venture to guess he doesn't fit inside his compact car anymore
    either.

    Yeah, Just follow the Rd. to McDonalds and his street is right there.

    See ya for the New Year!!!!!

    Porky - not in the least

    I'm pretty sure that in this particular test my TerraTrike would beat them
    both. Eventually. ;-)

    Your right about that, but what do you think those guys are going to do with the hatchet?

    I must admit all the bikes I have seen Ed Gin riding have been Above

    (AVD Windcheetah "Speedy"😉.

    I disagree with Ed Gin about the shape - Ed prefers "C" bars while I

    The former Ed Gin NoCom has "T" bars, while a couple other members of the
    carbon fiber NoCom armada in Chicago preferred "C" bars. Yet when referring
    to Ed Dolan, one could properly and quite correctly use the word "ass".

    discussing this with the Big Bent Brat at the Easter ride at GSU a

    This ass, Ed Dolan, never wants to be anywhere in the vicinity of that other
    ass, Ed Gin. In fact, Chicagoland is a good place to stay away from as your
    ass is in mortal danger there from the Chicago armada (whatever that is).
