Happy as....

I just got told today that I am going to be the lucky recipient of a HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS 26.

Sad part will be having to wait 4/5 weeks for it to turn up. This trike is going to get some serious road time.

Sorry couldnt help myself, just had to share my news

[lobstermash]

Sweet. The wait is the hardest part.

[Riggsbie]

Haha, looks like I'm going to have to find some hills then when I come up to visit for a social ride

Congrats, that's great news

[petie]

Awesome news, need pics!

[gretaboy]

Awesome news, need pics!

Pics will come as soon as the trike is in my possession

I did a ride on the new Hunter expressway on a catrike villager last sunday and am excited about taking the scorpion out there, will be brilliant and so much faster than the catrike.

Yep - I have included the only hill in SOP for gretaboy's coming out party

My new baby...nickname "Elvis". Pics taken on its first 70k outing. Little bit heavier than a Catrike Expedition but the ride quality craps all over the Expedition. Due to right hand issues it has a single left hand brake which controls both front disc brakes

Am one happy camper

Sweet! Looks like a recliner with wheels. Hope you ride the heck out of it.

Cool, looks like you could get that going along at a fair clip! Drink bottles a bit far away though?

[trailgumby]

That thing's looooowww. You'll need wings and grounds effects next!

At least I see you've got the antenna for communications back to the pits sorted.

It is but it won't be my final solution, have waited unil I got the trike before I decide which way to go

[Rhubarb]

Lookin' good GB

In my velomobile I use a hydration pack bladder which is hung from behind the seat. This may be a better option for you than a standard bottle anyway.

Thanks for clarifying, from the location I was fearing that it was for fluid out rather than fluid in

Hi gretaboy

sweet ride, if your seat is a tubular steel/aluminium construction you could use the same drink bottle solution I have on my KMX Viper. I use a Topeak Java cage (holds various size bottles) attached to cage mount that fastens to the seat frame which keeps my bottle in easy reach.
