This is a picture of my wife and I at the 2010 Red River Rally, Red River, NM on Memorial Day weekend 2010. The background is of the mountains going into red river. The trike handled very well up and down the mountainous terrain.

Hello. Thank you very much for your quick response. My wife and I love our Stallion. She is especially pleased with the fact she can drive it (when she passes her test). I get lots of comments everywhere we go. People take pictures of us while driving down the road. It’s a good thing that we are “people persons”, but I love telling people about my Stallion. My wife and I are “Baby Boomers” and motorcycle enthusiasts that don’t want to give up riding. I’m not sure what market you were aiming for but you hit the target for us “Baby Boomers”! I’m looking forward to seeing additional accessories for my Stallion. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Well let me tell you about a sweet lady named Linda H. and her 2009 Stallion.On 2-24-09 Linda and I took delivery on her new Stallion at Mitchell Family Motor Trikes in Gatesville,TX. As you already know this is a real looker. {so is Linda}. Everywhere she goes in her Stallion she draws a crowd.This is one very happy lady,which makes her husband {me} very happy.We ordered a Thoroughbred Motorsports T-Shirt and had it personalized for Linda with "Linda's Little Red Stallion on the back.
The Stallion drives and handles great when i get to drive which is not very often--LOL. Thanks for building this great trike. Linda is a HAPPY OWNER. P.S. Her Hubby is happy too.
Sincerely,

Dear Diane, What a fantastic trip we had on our Stallion. It carried us safely over 4500 miles. We traveled from Arizona to Ocala, Florida, then up to Asheville, North Carolina, and back home. It didn't matter where we were, people asked questions. We must have spoken to almost 200 people about the trike. An equal number waved, honked, yelled out the window of a vehicle or from the sidewalk, smiled, laughed, slowed down and stared, took pictures with cameras or cell phones, gave us thumbs up, or slowed down to follow us on the highway for awhile so they could check out the trike. It was an amazing experience. Folks that would never normally speak, came over and asked questions and admired the Stallion. We've been chased around parking lots and into parking lots, so the folks could catch us and ask questions. Every stop, whether at a motel, store, wayside rest, attraction, etc., meant a 10 to 20 minute conversation. It's a good thing we weren't in a rush on this trip. When we toured your Thoroughbred factory, Shawna had given us a whole bunch of cards. They were gone before we got to Florida. We had a few cards from Jim Allen of Southwest Trikes in Phoenix, and we handed those out, too. We went through rain twice, and the design of the windshield blew it right over us. The only thing that got wet was the driver's feet from water dripping down the sides of the windshield. We were amazed. Really good things about the Stallion are the windshield moving any rain water over the top of us, its sleek design, automatic transmission, marvelous trunk, stability on the road, the pedals that move forward and back, and the heater. to name a few. The passenger gets a lot of buffeting by the wind, so I hope you will continue to work on the wings Shawna talked about. We purchased a small trailer, weighing 170 pounds, which pulled very well. However, it took our mpg down to 30, which I guess is unavoidable. Would it be possible for you to design a small trailer which matched the design lines of the front of the Stallion? Is it possible to design a trailer with just one wheel? Possible nice additions to the trike would be a gel front seat and some waterproof pockets (perhaps velcroed on to the interior so they could be detached and carried into a store or restaurant) _just under the steering wheel and below the two back speakers, in which to carry a snack, sunglasses, maps, change, etc.. We saw as many cycles as RVs on this trip, and believe there is a real market for your product. Folks our age (retired), who have been lifetime cycle riders and have sold their machines or been upset because they have tipped them over are prime candidates to become customers, because they still like to ride. Young people are just as enthralled with the machine. Dads come over and say that their son is interested. Of course, so was the dad. With gas prices continuing to climb, it's a great time to have your product! On this trip we were a mobile billboard for 4500 miles for Thoroughbred Motorsports. We do a lot of traveling and will be going to Eastern AZ, Portland, OR, and Zion, Utah in the next three months. There is a possibility of us riding to Iowa in the fall. The town of Show Low, AZ, where we do all of our shopping, repairs, eating out, etc.. is the summer playground for thousands from Phoenix. Show Low is also a prime destination for bikers from the Phoenix and Tucson area because it's a perfect 4 hour ride, and because it's 20 degrees cooler, We can do a lot of advertising for you! Sincerely,
