    Checking Still Waiting

    Hope all is well with those that are still waiting . Someday I hope to get that email balance due . Come pick it up. Been riding our motorcycles a lot. My 2017 was totaled 11-21-2020. I walked away from it. The sidecar was not on the bike at the time. Purchased the replacement the same day...

    I Have Given Up On Elio, Have You?

    Both of current 3 wheelers are still going strong. Of course all I have of my Elio is a dream picture somewhere. I still think about it from time to time.

    I Have Given Up On Elio, Have You?

    Of course I gave up. Long ago. I still hope. The $1,000 was a gamble I knew that, not the end of the world. What bothers me most is Paul. He was never up to the task of bring the ELIO to market. He and those around him failed at every turn. They would not step back and let someone with the...

    Guns And Stuff Related.

    Ruger Precision Rimfire .22LR. Little bother to the RPR center fire. I picked one up . Not a lot of range hunting and out of respect for those I allow to hunt here I don't use the range. Before the Normal Deer hunt open I did get a little time in with it. 200 yards is good to go 300 yards should...

    Friday Blog Is Out

    Not a big deal. try looking out the back of a Polaris Spider. Back up cam built into radio very common now almost standard equipment. And will be require in all cars by the time ELIO is built. Lot of way to deal with it rear viewing cameras are cheap now days.

    What Milage Would You Accept To Get Your Elio?

    Just don't care about the mileage, get it built. I'll buy the gas and if it don't like the mileage I will pull the engine and drop a 4cyl diesel in it. Just build it . Fine tune the mileage stuff latter if must be. Don't care about high HP. I can go fast enough.

    Are You Guys All Kidding?

    I am an adult and knew fully the risk I took when I hit send on $1,000 for what someday maybe ELIO 8019. What a bore life with no risk not taking a chance on something new and different. If I had lived my life taking the easy path, the safe course it would have been boring. It also would not...

    Guns And Stuff Related.

    Around here hunting is 100 to at best 300 yards for the most part. I let my skills at longer distance shooting fade over the years. Even put my M24's away years ago along with some others . Awhile back I decided purchase a Ruger RPR in 6.5 Creedmoore. Outside my norm as I tend to stick with...

    Sidecar

    The sidecar tire limits me to 118 MPH for extended periods of time . I don't see that happening I have not over rode ECM that shuts Injectors down at 115 mph. Sad part everyone else has ridden in it but no one to give me a ride. I may have the HD service manager give me one in it . He has a...

    Just Wow!!!

    Pretty much now Motorcycles have to meet same standards as cars. They have CATs in them EPA standards and they are enforcing them on manufactures. I don't care if ELIO does not get the mileage they had targeted. I don't care if it is not real fast. I just want to see that email that says Balance...

    Sidecar

    The project has been finished for a bit. It is a blast. I am keeping my other sidecar rig also. Not an ELIO but 3 wheels. I have cursed with it a 90 mph. Set up with all the options except AC. Hannigan motorsports and Mischlers HD did right by me on this project. Came in on budget and on time...

    What Is The Latest Start Production Date?

    Elio #8019 would have been mine if ever built. I kissed that $1,000 good by the day i sent it. A gamble on a long shot and I knew it. It did not hurt. 5 new motorcycle from the time I hit send. Two sidecar rigs. I still hope they build and ship at least 1 before I die. Still takes me 100 tries...
