    Whats the farthest you've gone to get a trike?

    Whats the farthest you've got to get a trike?

    Im going on sunday (about a 7hr round trip) to pick up a 125m that the seller cannot get into any gear, its alot nicer then mine, and between mine and the one Im picking up I should be albe to make a good one. Mine threw a chain and needs cases, and smoked like a train, but its got a good tranny. Im hopeing its just the high/low trans.

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    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.

    Not all that far for a trike, but about 10 hours round trip to Indiana for a quad, and 12 hours round trip to Minnestoa for nice bed for my truck.

    7 hours round trip to get my 200X, but I rode on a Greyhound bus for three days to pick up my 1987 4Runner, 22RE, 5 speed, 4x4 with no rust, the lady who was selling it thought I was crazy.

    I went from Baltimore, MD to Nashville, TN and then still had to drive over an hour to pick up a suspension 70. I ended up taking vacation for a week and got to have a really decent time in Nashville. Things I saw on my trip: A Giant Guitar, an Airplane being towed backwards down the Highway, Dolly Parton, and a town in Kentucky that was recently ravaged at that time by a Hurricane. It was a pretty eventful trip. Also thanks to my ex-girlfriend, I got to pay $200 for a dinner for 2! LOL
