Default First Rides In CMPs are memorable

Hi Scott

First Rides In CMPs are memorable, nice looking C60L for your first ride. The long wheelbase 158" do ride different than the short C60S 134" or 101" wheelbase. The long wheelbase is much more stable on the road but have a huge turning radius, while the 134" has a much smaller turning radius but is squirely on the road above 40 MPH. Guess what I'm trying to say is that each one is distinctive.


First time I drove one was when over to look at my HUP and take it for a test drive. The kid I bought/trade from had never been able to shift it so he was surprised to be taken for a drive and have it go through all the gears. I had to wait another 6 years before I saw another CMP and got to ride in one with somebody else driving.

Cheers Phil
