Cars all appeared to be empty in the one I videoed. I saw one at the crest of the pull heading East and it had 4 engines in front and one at the rear.
I have this ball mount on Hookie the Asphalt Grey Spyder, with a Garmin Zumo XT GPS. My Pixel 6 overheats on the handle bar on warm days and the screen is harder to see than the Garmin....

Couple pics from Oregon coast. I got rained twice this afternoon. As long as you are moving you stay pretty dry on the Syder.
I had lunch with a friend yesterday in Eureka. When I was getting out in January 1969, they offered me the ERS there as lead tech. I got out as an ET1 (4 years), after 2 years as an ET2.
Well, it was not frost, car roof was painted white. Weighed the trike on an Oregon truck scale at 1350 lbs. Luggage compartments all full.
Day #5: I look out the window of the motel and there is frost on car roofs and the Spyder travel cover! WEATHER APP SAYS IT IS 48 outside.
Going to slow down a bit today and take a few pictures. ...
Cardo Spirit HD, works great. I put the boom mics in our modular helmets, as they work better than the puck mics.
Day #4: Had lunch with a friend who is a car nut. He said he likes to drive the 289 better. I rode in the 289 about 10 years ago. In Gold Beach Or tonight. Two more days to go. Trike is running fine.
I think you will find out that the tailgate opening is not wide enough.
Light House at Point Arena Ca. I climbed this many times in the late 1960's, while stationed at the Loran station near by
Day 3: If one is going to do a long distance trip you will encounter heavy traffic conditions at some or many places. My Arizona riding group tries to avoid such situations. It does not bother me...
I love the factory CC on my two 2018.
The only thing that would make them better would be adaptive CC like my 2021 F150 has. However my right thumb has learned to make the speed adjustments.
Got to see the train do the 360 loop today. Trike is running good. Going over to highway 1 tomorrow North of SF.
351 miles today, 307 tomorrow and having dinner with a lady I dated 55 years ago. Radiator is pretty beat up, I checked a little while ago and does not appear to be leaking.
Day 2: Plan is 307...
Day #1: Left at 5:12am, gassed up on the West side of Phoenix. Had trouble getting the dashcam to write to the micro-SD card. Wanted me to format the card, which failed many times, so I gave up &...
I bought a tri-fold ramp and drilled out the rivets to create three separate ramps. Put two 1/4 20 bolts ground down to pins on each ramp that go in holes on the trailer ramp. There is a shift...
We had a group ride with a couple of Spyder RTs, a Honda GW Trike, a Vanderhall "lady driver", and her husband on a HD 2-wheeler last winter in Az.
I like to run it through the gears on on ramps, and sometimes have to slow to merge into traffic, and/or wait for riding buddies to catch up.
Never been much over 80, which will be my age next...
Traction to back onto ramps might be an issue.
Or the little bar nut that fits in the battery "post" has slid out and is MIA. Had a friend call for help on his
Spyder and that was the issue.
OK, did another 150 mile test ride today, and all is well at this point.
So here is my conclusion, I guess... This started on the second ride after installing the H&R front springs on the OEM...
PPA wheels are 2 for the price of one Can Am wheel.

My opinion(everyone has one) is wait until the rear is worn in the center and "needs" replacement, and install three NON Kenda tires. One does not have to look to far past all the weights required to...
Should have gotten a Harley comes to mind!
I cut off the OEM Oetiker fuel line hose clamps with my dremel and a cutoff wheel. I bought the tool to install new Oetiker hose clamps and used it on the coolant hose also when I installed fresh...
Click settings upper right, and then look at the list on the left on the next screen.
With all the horror stories of trikes and Side by Side's sitting at dealer for weeks or months, when my KRX SxS goes in for recalls, I take it in for them to look at it and to order the needed...
