Wow, don't worry about gearing and top speed, the man said: "I like to go fast, and after about 2000km the fastest I could get it going is 66kph" Even on my trike, you know the one: steady as a rock :-), top speed is 39 kph, with a strong wind in the back, on a sunday morning so no worries. Tell me how do you do that? 66 kph, wow wow!! I will have to lose some extra weight, spent more (even more more) time in the gym, have to wait for a hurricane and then...., maybe if I'am very lucky I could push it to ....42 kph (43 kph). No more postings from me, I will sit quitely in a corner, thinking what to do next with me and my python.
