This may look impressive due to the length of that trailer but it's actually not.

I have two trailers that size, that are specifically designed for hauling light aircraft.

I could hook either one of them to my single cylinder, 500cc ATV & hit 45-50 mph out on the street. Due to its gearing, it tops out at 56 mph by itself.

And the aircraft in the picture has no engine on it.


Half the wind drag = twice the fuel economy....

OK if that's true, explain why a Prius gets better gas mileage than a Honda Goldwing.

Mike said his got 60 mpg; the best I've ever seen with the Goldwing is 49.

I wonder if @Injun has ever calculated the highway mpg her Victory gets. That bike is smaller than a Goldwing.

that ass end is sagging on that poor prius

I think you should have held out Mike.

i'm sure that Obama will be screaming job creation for all of those batteries

Then he would be talking out of both sides of his mouth. Greener America and recycling batteries.

Now. I get that their is going to be a lot of pissed off Americans that can't have a battery recycling plant in their back yard and how their kids are not going to be exposed to the toxins and how all those jobs are being shipped over to China.

They Turk our Jurbs, Fuck NAFTA and the TPP . Rabble,Rabble, Rabble.

 

[Duck]

**** NAFTA and the TPP .

Too bad that sentence was buried in gibberish.

 

[ironpony]

The entire battery is no longer replaced. Replaced by cell now. No idea how long they will last, but the replacement is definitely more cost effective than it was a couple years ago.

don't you think that Obama would be talking out of his ass. greener America my ass. it cost more to manufacture a hybrid or a full electric vehicle vs it's gas or diesel counter parts. why would anyone want a battery recycling plant in my back yard I wouldn't want my kids exposed to all of that crap. I see you know what i'm talking about when I made the comment on free trade. a lot of jobs have went over seas and i'm sure more will. I would really like to see the ones bitchin about minimum wage increases and greedy business actually run there own business!! veg oil is much better for the environment than having all of these batteries. and the fuel tax is nothing when you get it for free!! and BTW used cooking oil gets shipped to china and made into lipstick!! I think that I would rather burn it than kiss it!! there's people out here running veg powered gensets getting a nice check from the electric co. there's all kinds of veggie powered cars skoolies out here
