    "Pull over Harry. I have to go!"
    "Just go, man! Just go!
    "Oh, that's warm"

    "Are you hungry?"
    "Nope, I swallowed a June bug fifty miles back"

    Sweet Ruckus! I've wanted one for awhile!

    What's the top speed on that, going up the mountains, when it is loaded with you and the gear?

    Ha, nice ride report dude! Ironically I was up by Jefferson on Friday playing on the back roads, though I went the other direction towards Georgia Pass, until the 3-foot snow drifts said "you go no more". I'll try that again in July and see what happens.

    20mph about everywhere at a minimum, headwind, hill, etc; above 12k' excluded. Cruising speed with no wind on the flat is just over 35.

    That's not bad considering you can take the "back way" to get around, up and over. It reminds me of my old mini-bike back in the 70's.
