I know I’ve put on some weight from not being able to ride but the wife doesn’t have to rub it in! But the grandkids love it!



It’s actually pretty neat when there’s a breeze.

I used to smoke bacon, but it was too hard to keep it lit.

Gives me an idea...find a way to install your ride computer on it so you can log some miles.
