"> BTW, the water at the BP roadhouse near Little River tasted disgusting! I also filled one water bottle at that service station and agree, the water was disgusting. It had a metallic or plastic taste. Really bad. A guy I was riding with…"

"That sounds like an ace excuse for not doing for the long rides. I think I will use it too. :-)"

"The game comes from a childhood hobby of the game creator. He used to love collecting bugs. See this page for an interview with him. He talks a bit about manga and anime."

Animism is the belief that all things are given life—that is, animated—by spirits. The word often refers specifically to the idea that aspects of nature—rivers, mountain, trees, and so forth—were originally parts of immortal beings. Animism plays an important role in many creation stories in Asia and elsewhere.

Hi Dave,
I enjoy the trike for both road and trail riding, touring is easy and i often commute to work (26km) on the highway. I have done a couple of Great Vic rides with it and find it suitable for these as well. Average speed over longer days in the 20 to 25 km/hour range. Flat our best hour speed is 30km/hour.

I have covered about 15,000 km in the last 3 years on the machine and it has stood up well. Scorcher tyres are not really suitable for trails/touring but they are fast. The GT3 is great and is often ridden by kids on some of my scouting events and rises.
