Not a trike but one of my favorites bikes was a 1999 Honda Valkyrie Tour. Would pass anything on the road except a gas station. Coming back from a rally in Oklahoma one time I was running 90 plus MPH through Dallas on a Sunday morning. Got 23 MPG, normally would do 32 - 33 MPG two up at 65 - 70 MPH. Once all 6 of the carbs started opening up fully you could almost see the gas tank imploding from the suction! Sure was fun to ride though!

I started to say I will bet you are getting about 28mpg at best. Trike is stable though at that speed.

Waiting on the pictures of the trip

Yeah, in the directit is great, in the shade, it's just a drab blue.

Yep, any significant distance between gas stations needs a gas jug or we'll be walking. lol



Bungies on the TP will hold 2 more gallons easily.

That's about what we were getting...strong headwind and 85 - 90 is not a formula for good mpg. :laugh:

TG is rock solid at those speeds. MPG, not so good. Any traffic around, my reflexes are not fast enough either.

Full ride report with lots of pics will be down the road.
