Synopsis:
Coleman CT200Us purchased at TSC, gear bought for a 34 mile trek, hijinks ensue.

As good of a review as any I suppose, but it's in-action with not a whole lot of content devoted to the mechanics/nitty gritty of the bikes.

I wasn't really impressed until they were fording multiple, nearly knee-deep streams on the bikes. The footage showed no attention paid to waterproofing the bikess so I was impressed they didn't hydrolock the engines. :eek:

These are centrifugal clutch/jackshaft bikes so I would surmise these fared way better in the water than torque converter-drive bikes would.

:huh:

Yeah, they were going for that vibe no doubt. All that gear strapped on and the old style 3/4 helmets.

The "novice guy", the one who's not 2-wheel savvy, was probably slipping the clutch the entire time, hence all the repairs and clutch changes.
