Well according to Vetter if we all streamline our bikes we will all look the same. Somebody trying to get a head start on next years Vetter challenge or maybe save some $$$ at the pump. He did top 100mpg at this years challenge!

Latest word from Craig's website is the bike was recovered but the trailer is still missing. A new trailer was purchased. Craig is a long distance rider but the Helix is only a single seat and getting long in the tooth. No word on how comfortable he is after hip surgery.
