Hello all!

My name is Matt and I'm from Champaign, IL USA -- about 2 hours south of Chicago and I work on campus at the University of Illinois. The Twike as a motorcycle gets to park anywhere on campus where motorcycle parking is permited for US$32 a year instead of a single car parking spot for almost $400 a year.

I purchased Twike 433 last fall and it has been my daily driver for the past 9 months or so, carrying me and my two girls (one 6, the other 1 and 1/2) to work, school and daycare. This includes one of the worst winters in Illinois history for pothole (cold and warm freeze cycles). Although she's 10 years old this year, 433 performed admirably, and even though I'm not a mechanic I've been able to make the necessary repairs so far to keep her runnin!

My Twike blog is at www.illinois.edu/goto/twike and should you be from Central Illinois area (or for some reason find yourself there) drop me an e-mail and I'd be happy to give you a ride (and teach you how to drive it).

As our US TWIKE expert from the very beginning of this forum, you have helped a lot to get it all going and that deserves a special Hi dee hoh greeting and a BIG thank you.

Great to have you here!
