John, I am smart enough to have figured out your suggestion. Believe
me, if that worked I would have been riding that thing years ago.
I have basic designs, and in Japan it costs thousands of dollars to
do it. Everything has to be very thin, you need special axles,
etc., to avoid the wobbling you get from ordinary wheels. If you
ever tried riding an ultmate from a standard uni minus frame and seat,
you know what I mean. With twowheelers, the difficulties are much,
much greater with your center of gravity higher up, etc.
If any of you wizzards can think of a design not using spaceage
expensive materials, etc. that is fairly easy and inexpensive to
build, I'll have it built and, if humanly possible, I'll "put my
mouth where my money is" by riding it. I must warn you that I
am now making three dictionaries simultaneously and have no
time to get into discussions on design issues. But if everyone
argues it out and comes up with a reasonable design, I'll have
it built.

P.S. John, will you please keep your line shorter (say 70), and get
rid of those pesty return codes. On my screen they look like this
^M (encode as which is hexadecimal 0D.
