    have you ever seen the bikes they run on the salt flats? they have to push them to even get them moving on their own. I bet its the same type deal except you have to push it to 130 and down a steep hill

    If you're being honest: How much extra weight was the trailer?




    That carried your ENORMOUS balls behind you.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    is that a 350X engine on a quad? also, are you running out of power or RPM first? i am not saying i believe the 135 MPH claim, i just think it is possible to come close with the right setup. Tom it the best in the business, i would love to take your engine for a spin.

    your right he is the very best hands down . i've have a poweroll 430 and a sparks big bore stroker and toms motor is so much faster .. he is very busy and it took a while but it is worth the wait for sure .. i will put my motor up aginst any 350x out there , without nitrous !!! one question though ?? how much does a 350x three wheeler weigh , i know my quad weighs 360 ready to race ??

    I ran a 350x motor in a 250x frame at the TT nationals in the 90's , the motor was one of Tom Carlsons . 532cc , I was usually one of the front runners in the open pro am and in the 30 plus class no one would be close ! I ran 15/33 gearing with 18" american racers ... that would get me 70 couple mph down the straight at Ashtabula . It wasn't tapped out , but 107 mph ... don't think mine could do that to easily , even with taller gearing !! I quess it wasn't built right .

    Ok guys. Here it is. The numbers are in. This is a stock 350X engine with sprocket and tire gearing mods. It can be done!!
