Hello, again, from South Florida

[Rick0959]

So I somehow managed to post my hello in the classified ‍. I am re-posting here to a more appropriate section.

I didn't see a forum for intros, so I figured I'd post here.

First saw a Goblin on One Take and thought it was very interesting. After seeing it over and over again since, I really got the itch to build one. So here I am doing my due diligence and researching, researching, researching.

I am about 90% ready to order, but still have some concerns about fitting comfortably. I really don't like tight spaces, why I hate flying. I thought about reaching out on here to see if there are other South Florida owners, that would be able to show me their builds to get me over the last 10%. So if anyone lives relatively close, I live at the end of the turnpike, I would be very grateful for your time in showing off your build.

Looking forward to spending quite some time reading on here.

I found the Goblin to be the opposite in that I was overly exposed (compared to a car). There have a been a few riders get claustrophobic when they tighten down the harnesses though as you're really strapped in.

I wasn't thinking claustrophobic, more like fear having to put a harness on to ride in your Goblin - 'do I really need to wear this...OMG this thing is a rocket!'

Lol. Exactly. Strap in and hold on.


I don’t think claustrophobia, but it is “snug”. It’s like a race car, it fits around you. It’s nice to get a little taste of one up close, but I would describe it as driving a polaris Rzr or equivalent. One of the old 800’s, not one of the new big ones.

I have been thinking of taking the Camaro on a little road trip to check out your Goblin, is there any particular weekend day that might work for you?

Not claustrophobic, just don't like cramped quarters. Like skinny jeans, don't like that kinda feeling.

Beautiful build. I'm 4 miles west of Wal-Mart, the agricultural area. You're not that far, going to have to arrange a time good for you to meet up.
