Thanks Steve Schmidt and Ray Johnson for posting my old local news interview.

As I remember it, it was a cool and windy day when the reporter showed up. I didn't want to have the interview done at any recognizable location at first so I suggested the local airport...Geez, even windier there. So much for a unique backdrop. Used a building to block the wind.

Well, that only ate up two minutes of video. He then packed up and asked for another location. I picked a small park and we did the demo of how one stabilizer rides on the road at a time. He then wanted to emphasize how the vehicle attracts attention.
We zoomed in on a couple innocent kids minding their own business as just about anyone else was hiding indoors anyways with the temp dropping. They didn't know what to say.
Well, on to my parent's house for the ending of the interview.
The reporter suggested that I do something.
How about using the CB to call someone up that will use my chosen call sign...'Crazy Canary'??

I declined, since I really only got the CB so to be cool and for emergencies...I really didn't use it.

Okay, he then suggested that I look like I was checking something!!

Umm...There's really nothing to check. Okay, the gas cover. I'll look under there (silly, really!) Hello....Hello, any gas in dere tank? Hello?

The quantum number of 400 Pulses being on the road sounded more exciting to him and I cringe just hearing it, but I let it pass for the sake of raising someone's eyebrow during those times.

Ya, I let him take it for a spin and we nearly had a nose bender as he was distracted with the experiance and shifting needs. The other person coming from our right nicely smiled and was amused by the vehicle and forgave us quietly. We pretty much just stopped nearly in the middle of the intersection when we were supposed to have Yielded.

So, that's my story
