Mark II recumbent. First ride today.

Ive been posting at bentrideronline about this project although thought I better put a post up here for the locals too.
Pretty happy with the layout now. Still tossing up whether to put a CF version together or just put some better gear into this one and call it my permanent ride, odd as it is.
Had a great first real ride today. Only a couple of breakdowns. (Crank fell off, oops)
Bit sore, as i havnt developed my bent legs yet.
Good speed other than the hills, which is mostly an issue with the engine.
If anyone see's me around Brisbane, please do pull along side and say Hi. I have enjoyed meeting and riding with a lot of people already, as it sure attracts some attention.
