Default Tri-Glide Cruising at 90 MPH

Life on the road on a Tri-Glide.

85 MPH Speed Limit (correction, Mary just reminded me the speed limit was only 80 MPH...I just acted like it was 85 )
85* & Sunny
Straight Road
Areosmith blasting on the speakers via the MP3
Cruising at 90 MPH

Yeah!

Wow. Where is a 85 mph speed limit?
Like to get my Mustang on that.
If I did that a lot I would have to upgrade to the Baker 6 speed. My 88/5 speed gets pretty loud over 80, which I only do in Michigan (75 mph limit).
You have had an exciting year, riding in the snow, now cruising at 90. Rock on.

Mary just reminded me that the speed limit was 80 MPH in New Mexico, Not 85 mph.

Every time I go 90 mph with Gail riding on the back, I hear an annoying whining sound coming from the back of the trike. Any idea what it could be???

I've ridden for hours at 80-85 across Arizona and Nevada. Love it! But boy does the mpg suffer at those speeds. [But who cares?<g>]

I have to keep reminding Vesta (wife) of the speed limits. She leads and tends to have a lead foot..... I mean lead wrist. She is especially bad in Arizona and Nevada... and Utah and Colorado and. Only place you have to be careful is California
