Following on from a touring thread on here, a week ago, on my way home from dropping EpicJnr in Leeds, I took a detour on the M62 across to Cheshire. And in doing so, for my first time, was able to meet two STW forumites, In.The.Flesh. they do exist in the real world. @nbt and @bunnyhop made me very much at home with a brew, and a couple of short laps on the tandem, first as stoker, then as captain. Not too scary (I hope).
Amazingly the tandem fitted in the back of an iX3, wheels off, and she set off for her new life in Sussex.
Now she's here, she has been christened The Elephant, as MrsEpic is currently less enamoured of my great idea then I am, and she has been feeling rejected in the kitchen while I remodel the shed options. But today, with her new home in the shed ready, I persuaded SWMBO onto the Stoker's seat for a short lap of the village .... we'll win MrsEpic round yet ....
(Lawn looking dodge as were trying to do no mow may, but rather unsuccessfully)
How does it wheelie?
Mrs_oab and I decided to call it quits on any future doubles riding after a hire day on an off-road tandem.....
