Dave, Terry Coyne has one, and is a lot closer to you. (Mass Berkshires). Perhaps you could hook up with him to try it. I don't have his contact info, but Pam might. I tried a Mohican and was very impressed. It is really stable (for its class) and controllable, and the quality is top notch. The foot plate is bulletproof and easily adjusted. Santa, bring me a White one please -Rob Flanagan
