Amish Triking

[BlueTrinity]

Seems we PA trikers have indeed had an impact on the young Amish, as they search for enjoyment in their protected world.

Obviously proud, Achmed likes the large sweeping windscreen, prominent side-safety markers and sporty metro look of his new sand-beige Hannigan trike, but his favorite feature is the large cargo hold in the rear...wonder what he hauls in there?

 

[BlueTrinity]

Could maybe be where he hides his WMDs?

OK, congrats ... I grew up in Lancaster County ... I knew then that Mennonites and Amish were closely related, one being more "orthodox" than others ... from this site The history of the Amish & Mennonites

The Mennonites hold many of the same beliefs as the Amish, although they tend to be less conservative than their Amish neighbors. Worship services are held weekly in their meeting houses. Most Mennonites have relaxed dress codes, and have gotten away from farm-related occupations. While Old Order Mennonites still drive their all-black carriages, most Mennonite groups do permit the use of cars and electricity. However, some groups do require that car bodies and trim be painted black.

I guess strictly speaking they are different ... but they are more closely related than say a Baptist or Methodist and a Catholic.

There are 10 classes of Amish with 10 being the most strictist and 1 being the most outgoing.
They can then jump the fence(as they call it) and become Mennenities.
They then can own cars, have phones, electric, etc.
We have about 40 families of Amish around our town. Most of them are in the 1 to 3 range. Still use horse and buggies, etc.
Our Goldwing group also took a trip this past summer to Berlin, Ohio.
We got to tour this area with a couple, Jacob and Edna, who jumped the fence.
They took us to farms, had dinner with a family one evening, went to a school and shopped their stores.
I learned more about them out there then I did around here.
Very interesting but not a life for me.
