Default Good boy, EVO

Back today from 1 month trip to Colorado from East TX. Wife pulled fifth with dually, I followed to South Fork, CO. Out of the heat.

. From there we jumped on the trike and did the 2 week Colorado roundabout. Trike ran perfectly, no problems whatsoever. Used 1 quart oil the whole trip. 42 avg. MPG with MM EFI. Better mileage at higher elevations than at home(?). The ol' 98 did me proud. Met lots of evo riders at the stops. 3665 total miles. Time to give the machine some rubbing and new parts.

. I love my EVO. Ken

evotrike, you're singing my song... Sounds like you guys and your trike had a great time.

I'm guessing you're retired since your trip was a month long?

If the stars align correctly for me, I'll be retiring in May of next year, and I hope to meet you on the road somewhere...

Thanks, Beemer.... and the radio worked great!
. Kelly, good luck on your retirement. It's a whole new world. Hope to see you on the road, too.
. First thing is a new front tire. I plumb wore it out. Hope to wear out a few more. Ken
