Welcome to the "club". We knew next to nothing about tandems other than all the people in the pictures of Happy Tandem Couples looked happy when we got a T900 last fall. There are a lot of communications issues you will need to work out beyond IPS. We enjoy the tandem more than our singles. Check out some of the tandem weekends and rallys. They are different from single events and in many cases draw a different crowd. Hope you enjoy it.
