Posts: 3204 Memphis | Clement Salvadori took a white Crossbow through Death Valley. Only gripes were the really weak reverse and the split fuel tanks. Since the tanks were designed to be filled while leaning on the kickstand and the Crossbow stands straight up, he couldn't get the last half gallon in. Lots of tips on the nuances of trikes in general. Nice article in the July edition.

Posts: 3773 Pittsburgh, PA | yeah that reverse probably wasnt designed for all that Extra weight. and i guess when you fill that tank like you said. the bike is already leaning so i guess the tanks arent designed for that application as well? Lol .. |

Also enjoyed the article on the Crossbow, Not ready for a trike right now, but if i were that would be the only one id want.
side note, spoke to a buddy of mine today with a Vision that overheard a HD owner telling his buddies that the Vision looked like a Gold wing that threw up.......... what stupid ignorance comments. funny part was my buddy walked up and said "really? you think thats true?
cause we got about 4 of them outside in the parking lot of you wanna see if they look anything like that to you", the guy retracted his neck into his shoulders upon feeling like a dipshit. |
