*I pulled a trailer with one of my Wings for one vacation through Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, down to Salt lake City and then through Denver. It was convenient, but honestly I didn't like it. Pulling a trailer didn't give me the free and open feel that I have come to love about riding a bike. Might just as well take a car.* * * *As for wheelies...well, that's pretty tough for a Wing anyway. :) * * ** Paul LeBoutillier * * * *www.hondanighthawks.net*
