4 Wheels? Huh?
Unless something changes there are 3 of us maybe 4 heading up for the entire week. Unfortunately we may have one square making the ride, unless we get him a big boy trike to ride before then. I am pretty sure that I am bring an old Military covered trailer to haul the trikes with and to sleep in.
Keep on Triking!!!! "I am the NIGHT RIDER!!!"

They are kind of an oddball setup. They pintle hook is way up in the air and they're an air over hydraulic (if I remember correctly) brake setup. You need glad-hands like a big rig to have the brakes work on those trailers.
They made smaller versions that were lower and towed better behind the Humvees and CUCV's (Blazers). I'm not sure what those had for brakes but I'm sure it would be easier to tow behind a pickup than the one Jon posted.

My buddy has two. I cannot remember the exact dimensions. John is right on the set up. We have to figure out a way to convert the tongue to a ball hitch. He sold the truck that he originally towed them with. We will see if we can get it to work. If not we will pull the flat bed and tent camp again.

Most of the campsites at the shoetree, or over by the pond? Between my wife and I we're packing at least a 1/5 of Crown Royal per night, plus a 30 pack of JTM's. My pops delivers for Mikesells, so at least a case of chips. Can't wait for to tell my wife," Hold my drink hunny, Watch this!"

I think we will play it be ear. If the forecast is dry for the weekend ( I doubt it) we will head down to the shoetree. Otherwise, we wil try to find a spot around the pond somewhere. Come Friday I'm sure it will be packed. Came across a cheap little grill yesterday. Hoping that this guy on craigslist still has this 3 room tent for $60 on Friday when I get paid. We are gonna pack at least a half truck of firewood, hope the weather is kind.

I found my 140 Lifan powered 70 has a busted right crank case. Going to order a new one tonight for it.
I still have to
fix the 140/70 engine case, and install new seat cover
get both stock 70's running better
make a grab bar/rear rack combo on the 85 200x, and new seat cover
new cam chain, sprockets, wheel bearings, and drive chain on the 84 200x
I got all of the parts to fix them except for the engine case for the 140.
now if I can just get a day or 12 off of work the get everything ready that would be great. If I have enough time, I might rebuild the QA50 in time for trikefest.

My ATC5 pipe, silencer, and flange all finally came today after a LONG wait. I am getting a pair of stainless wide pegs from 250rRoostmaster this Friday, and came across a polish front hub that should arrive in the mail shortly. Some buddys and I are taking a trip to Haspin this saturday. A 400ex, Scrambler 400, trx250, and my 86r. Only about an hour one way for us. I will try to stop riding for a few quick minutes and grab some pics.
