Thanks for the input John Young. I'm pretty sure that it's just a case of "fear of the unknown" and that she will probably end up liking it more than me. I will see who at MS or Wintervogel has the bigger need for a few cold ones (nudge-nudge, wink-wink, hint-hint and so on).Regards and good luck with the egg beater theory that your wife has.
Next question; Which trike for a Dikgat & pax?
