Took the VW for first extended ride today. 28 miles one way to work. Featured stop and go and highway speeds. It was the toughest riding I have done in years. Takes 200% more concentration to operate this beast. Does handle bumps pretty good. Like the independent suspension. Loud and obnoxious (me and trike). People on the road loved it. Never had so many waves and smiles from car drivers. I thought a couple were going to have accidents because they were busy looking at me. Nothing fancy, just "Mad Max" vintage trike. At least, that's what I call it.
Since I found out the hard way the other day that it has a 4 gallon tank, I think I will look into some sort of auxiliary gas. With no Speedo/odometer yet, can't be sure, but seems to get just under 30 mpg. Need to also get petcock with reserve on it. Probably get 5 gal gas can for home also to tip it off each day.
