I'm looking of other places to ask questions about Riquimbili's to lead to the Yahoo group. But the idea is to spread the word "Riquimbili" around to where the news media picks up on it.

Today CNN Headline news is showing a bicycle story of "freak bikes" or "Circus bikes" as they were called in the old days. It would be nice if some of us here would go at CNN asking about Riquimbili's. I think that could do alot to wake people up to motorized bikes, 200mpg fuel milage, and owning the vehicle that could do this for them that pays for itself in a couple weeks. (that's the low end motorized bike or "American Riquimbili" after it's Cuban namesake. )

I was hoping to get "Edge" over there as he's a young Cuban lad with a couple of his own Riquimbili's. When he could get some photos of his own work up that would be excellent. He's bi lingual, mechanically inclined and would be an excellent person to have on board should some curious Cubans arrive. (which I'd like nothing more than that to happen) I checked out some forums in the UK also and the "blokes" there seemed baffled by these machines comparing them to Harley Davidsons. They seemed more aroused by the thoughts of cheap rum and fine Cuban Cigars.

So if everyone can think to do it.....try to work the word "Riquimbili" into their slang, daily conversation somehow, and drop the term around the bicycle shops. If at lunch with the coworkers....mention a story you read about this guy with a motorized bike he claims to get 200 mpg on called a Riquimbili. Sooner or later the public curiousty will ignite.
