Why, you may ask yourself, why is Papa so happy? Today I hold in my twisted old hand, signed, sealed and delivered, a patent licencing agreement with Cozy Cruiser to produce my "Spud". Should be on the market early next year.

So who has the tiniest of teardrops? I do. Jayson, who makes Cozy Cruisers over in Springfield, OR, makes a fine rig and I am so pleased he will be making mine. I get the first one and can hardly wait. He's going to use an aluminum chassie and it will be so light and sweet.

Here's a pic of Jayson with my proto, Spud, made from scrap plywood and crap from Home Depot. I pulled her over 6000 miles and it was a blast. When I get her back I'll put her under a tarp and some day my grand-kids will take her to Antiques Road Show and say this is the original Spud, the first true motorcycle teardrop.

Ok now we have seen it all, Pop-ups, Clam shell, and now expandables. That is great.

I see you setting on the side in the opening. What happens to the floor when folded. Do they
overlap each other in the body when closed.

After watching the video I think I would want a small window on both sides of the front section and a optional side and top covering. That probably has already crossed your mind. Just my 2 cents. :thinking:

That is Fan-damn-tastic.

Ya I was thinking the same thing too about a little window on the front sides. Just to give that overall teardrop look.

Keep it up, and GL on the contract for production.
