I was at a convenience store in Kerrville, Texas when this guy pulled up on this contraption.
I asked him where he had come from. I thought he was going to say something like the next town over, however, he said Miami!!! That is around 1300 miles!
He also said everything he owned in life was with him. Top speed, 35 MPH on a good day!
The trailer has front bicycle forks welded directly to the trailer frame. I was amazed it went anywhere.
I also asked him where he slept at night and he said in the ditches along the road.
True story,
Enjoy,
Chuck

so what happened to him packrat you bought the bike from him. so did he hitch hike out of town or did he settle down in kerrville - wake up packrat i see you nodding off
Sad to say, when I woke-up he was gone.
I SELL THE MOTOR KITS LIKE THE ONE ON THE BIKE. THEY ARE QUITE DEPENDABLE AND EASY TO INSTALL. I LIKE THE TRAILER.
thank you CAD1949, scandinavian_pieces, officialfuel, rocker-sd & vanskyock24.
CAD1949,
What kind of gas milage do they average?
How about with a fat guy pulling a caboose?
Packrat-place,
Did you happen to get a picture of the owner with this one?
Sorry, I did not. I do not like to post pictures of people without their permission.
Right you are.
He said he got about 90 mpg.
That sounds good, I may have to talk to CAD1949.
I would need a much bigger trailer for garage sailing though. :)
