Wow... another year gone by.
STILL love this trike. Especially the Federal 595RS-RR rain tires right now. They were in their environment, and they SHINED.
We went out on a 'rainy season' night... looked clear, and we will be home by 7...
That turned to 8...9...fun with friends.
Now we are beachside with rain sprinkles. Gotta go HOME.
5 miles in, it is Florida 4inches/hr rain. :xzqxz:
It aint a motorboat, its a MOTORTRIKE.
Why not both? :laugh:
Head down, ears back, headed for the barn.
Buckets of rain, lightning filling the sky. The water is going out to the sides as we hit the ponds on the road, NOT forward like the old BF Goodrichs. Between the windshield and the clear safety glasses, I have great vision. Hitting ponding water on one side does NOT pull the trike over. Full on hydroplaning means you lose traction, but not direction. Let off the throttle, get traction. Felt very good. Like a jetski on land, for the lack of any other comparison. What a HOOT!! :clapping:
I will be making many offerings to the detailing gods. I know EVERY single HEIM joint will need to be disassembled and greased. Worth it. I NEVER would have dared that ride on 2 wheels. But what a feeling. YEAH. LIFE is GOOD.
Thanks to ALL here that helped US get on three and be happy.
