There are obviously better trikes than a JC70 for the kind of riding the o.p. wants to do. What do they want someone else to say about that? Do they want corroboration with their POV or an argument? They have to say a little more to make someone besides some mouth breather in need of a life (yours truly) to take time out of their busy day to also share with the world that they bought the wrong trike because they were trying to save a few bucks vs something better suited to the task.
No, sir, you inferred an argument. I implied nothing.
So, okay, your comment was a big help. Time out of your busy schedule? I took time out of my production schedule just to make this video, lol. Man o man!
I was neither looking for corroboration nor an argument. I was looking for a conversation. And I wanted to inform Performer Trike owners about the new steering knuckles. Guess I'll go back to the BentRiders forums. At least they'll talk without inferring an argument. My goodness, man!
Honestly I like the trike and plan to ride it until it won't ride anymore. Which is what I said in the video.
If I followed your advice I wouldn't have a YouTube channel nor a way to make a living. According to what you say if I applied that to my cameras I would have to wait until by some miracle I could buy $10k Canon C300 cinema camera, but the GH4 photo camera with substantial video capability is doing the job for now.
Some of use aren't in a position to get something better suited to the task. If I had followed that advice I wouldn't even have a boat for my fishing channel. I use a go kart engine bolted to a long shaft to power my boat. If I had taken your advice I should wait until I could buy something better suited to the task, like a $45,000 bass boat or something.
I bought the trike based on the budget I had, and a big part of my YouTube channel is showing people how to accomplish great things even though they don't have something better suited for job, nor have the means to get something better suited to the job.
So, thanks and have a nice rest of 2019.
P.S., Does anyone have anything good to add to the conversation like how yo have used your JC-70, gotten the most out of it? How have you used it? What did the trike do for you that you did not expect? how has it Performed over and above what you expected.
I'm not interested in an argument or corroboration. I'm interested in having a conversation. If the forum has gotten to a point where you can't even carry on a conversation because people infer arguments, then this forum is dead, and I'm out.
I have plenty of people over on the BentRider's forum giving tons of advice on how to get the most out of their JC-X0 trikes. I expected the same here, but NO!
And you simply skipped over the fact that the JC-70 has brand new Gen III steering knuckles. Would that be of any interest to anyone on this forum? The whole video was about the new steering knuckles! You obviously didn't watch the video. Either that or you were so wrapped up into your own inferences that you missed the point of the whole video. You gotta get that sophistry in check, man.
Thanks! Hope 2019 goes well for you because it sounds like you need to go for a bike ride.
