    Winter is coming, a couple of questions...

    First of all I have a huge bay almost right in my back yard (1.5 miles away). I'm thinking the son and I can get on that sucker once it freezes over and get some serious miles on the trikes, '82 BR200e and an '80 YT125.

    1. Will these trikes haul ass for a few miles wide open in top gear? Or will something blow up/bust?

    2. How long will it take for the YT125 to catch up with the 200e when both are full throttle for 2 miles?

    3. How many miles can I get out of a full tank for each trike?

    As always, THANKS! !

    That's great news cox. I'll be bringing along extra fuel for the BR I guess.

    thanks again cox. What about the strength of the engines? will they be alright hauling ass for a few hours round trip? A few stops here and there of course.

    shouldnt hold them wide open for ever.. you wont wanna one you get out on the ice.. donuts at speed are your friend!!!! used to 50 mph donuts on my old blaster... my record was 8 in a row before i ether screwed up or didnt have enough speed

    Three wheeler guys probably have the biggest balls out of all the ATV/Motorcycle riders. You just have to be a little twisted to ride them, and you have to be a great rider to do so.

    I can ride all day on one tank of gas also I would not stay at full throttle for more then 15 mintutes at a time on the trimoto becaues its a two stroke and I would stud the tires so you have some form of traction.
