Whats the farthest you've got to get a trike?

Im going on sunday (about a 7hr round trip) to pick up a 125m that the seller cannot get into any gear, its alot nicer then mine, and between mine and the one Im picking up I should be albe to make a good one. Mine threw a chain and needs cases, and smoked like a train, but its got a good tranny. Im hopeing its just the high/low trans.

Not all that far for a trike, but about 10 hours round trip to Indiana for a quad, and 12 hours round trip to Minnestoa for nice bed for my truck.

7 hours round trip to get my 200X, but I rode on a Greyhound bus for three days to pick up my 1987 4Runner, 22RE, 5 speed, 4x4 with no rust, the lady who was selling it thought I was crazy.

I went from Baltimore, MD to Nashville, TN and then still had to drive over an hour to pick up a suspension 70. I ended up taking vacation for a week and got to have a really decent time in Nashville. Things I saw on my trip: A Giant Guitar, an Airplane being towed backwards down the Highway, Dolly Parton, and a town in Kentucky that was recently ravaged at that time by a Hurricane. It was a pretty eventful trip. Also thanks to my ex-girlfriend, I got to pay $200 for a dinner for 2! LOL

6 hours and 8 hours round trip. And once, i didn't really go out of my way at all, because my first 250r was on the side of the road on my way to work, lol

I drove from Montreal, Quebec, to Mahone Bay ,Nova Scotia for an '84 125M. It's about 26 hours round trip(2700 kms).....but I also visited my parents too, so maybe this doesn't qualify....but the little threewheeler had a long trip.

From Bowling Green, KY to Toledo, OH for my 87 250SX. With food, gas, and traffic about 13 hours round trip. Well worth it for the condition and price.

7 hours each way to pick up my Tecate.... Actually driving around a dust storm on the return trip added a few hours and miles to my trip.. A little over 400 miles each way. I'd do it again too.

Flew out to southern Cal. (Laguna Beach) from Madison WI. Rented a Chevy Trail Blazer and bought this little trailer. Towed back an '85 ATC 250R, an '86 TRX 250R, and an '88 TRX 250R. One hell of a road trip. 1982 miles in less than 24 hours. Well worth it! Thanks Craig!

Well I was on vacation when I picked up my 250sx, so about 2300 miles to get her home.


Not too far to take apart a trike and shove it in your Honda Civic with cooler and friends, tent, food, and all other gear.
