Popeye you are a wiz with the stainless and the welder. I would love to live next to you while you had a few days with nothing to do. I could show
up with a stack of stainless and some buggy wheels and end up with a bulletproof buggy that fits me and is different than anyone elses. Hmmm. I
wonder if I would have to check it as luggage or if I could do a carry on to get it back to the states?

I've flown UK to US on BA with my buggy and checked it in as 'sports equipment' with it disassembled into parts in a large bag.
Not sure if they still do this, but apparently 'sports equipment' (eg usually golf clubs etc) doesn't count towards your check-in baggage weight
allowance.

I know I'm not too far from just getting a buggy. I tried one of ACampbells this past Saturday and see how much fun it would be to become one with
the buggy. I have been putting myself to sleep at night thinking about how I botched my right hand turns every time. I imagine I'll get a Flexi
buggy first and then figure out how to make it better and different. The other day, I pictured myself in the kids little red wagon practicing my
turns. I talked myself out of that before actually thinking about where the wagon was.:D

Thank you Carl, that's a great reference!
The Kite Trike and Rockville are the same, I'm sure (I had one for a short while).
They are sold on Ebay occasionally by Cloud 9 Soaring in Utah.

bike and welded it together (very easy)

Well, a wagon on pavement with a small kite would probably work. Be sure to have a helmet and someone with a vid camera.:evil:

One hand on the wagon steering and one on the kite, you'd have to be using a harness though.
