I would place myself in the list of folks that would be the first to defend intellectual property rights.  I have the lawyer bills to prove it. 

In my mind this more than qualifies as a suitable deviation from the plans to be considered original.  Heck, the biggest problem I have is the use of the name "barracuda." Even that is somewhat clever in "barra2uda."   

Lots of original thought went into the design.  Congrats.

I agree!

How about calling it a Lancer. ;D  I have a Lancer sailboat so no original thought went into that. ;)

Its been the Barra2uda through the whole design process and it will always be referd to as a Barra2uda. After what Lance? 4-5 years ago Edge said that the 2 seat Cuda would be released in plans in one year. Edge does build and sell a 2 seat Barracuda, same crap front end too with NO changes except brakes. Looks nothing like what Lance has come up with. I do like Lancer though...  LMAO

Is there going to be any interference from the passengers feet with the pedals? Or is there plenty of room?

Just band your feet at childhood like those little chinese girls to keep from growing,  rofl.  If that steering shaft is in the center, I'l say theres room for 4 feet.

My last rail was only 4 ft elbow to elbow, 3 ft wide at pedal area.  It should be fun, like riding a roller coaster, you can bounce off ea other.  It will be in powder by Memorial Day if Doug can keep up.  LMAO
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

loyalty to the American people."

Rear lasers showed up today Lance!!!  Steering looks like it will work!!! Good to see. Another plus is the ability to change steering ratio with simple sprocket swap...

Lance... Is there enough room for 2 sets of feet??
