Depends a lot on the WIND in Gods country.
If it is a calm day I get about 30mph.
If the wind is blowing, ie 90 mph, mpg goes DOWN.:gah:
Since I only have a five gallon tank, and most towns
are about 30 miles apart out here, I usually fuel every
60 to 90 miles.

I typically get 28 or so with my 1915. Heading west on I90 through south dakota I got 17 mpg with a 25 mph headwind.

Hi all

Still have trike fever but I had purchased a camper and enjoy camping .... Not sure if I can do both but we will see.

Goal is to retire in 10 years so maybe I need to buy a new camper closer to retirement date and just buy a trike now...

Anyway going to check in more often.

Glad to see ya back Joey!!!!

Getting a trike now would probably be the wise idea:laugh:

Seriously though, I don't think you would regret it. :clapping:

Ran great the entire time
