Honda FatCat TR200 - Top Speed Run - Low Speed Crash - More DANGEROUS than a Three Wheeler!

I finally had a chance to take the 1986 Honda FatCat TR200 for a ride; the one I had just gotten earlier in the month. I have a 1987 FatCat that I've driving a handful of times around the property, but never in the winter. My friend Pat had told me that these are fun to ride in the snow, so I figured I'd see for myself! Turns out these things are pretty stinking dangerous to ride in the snow! I was on the ground in about 20 feet! After that happened I changed some of my plans because I realized immediately that this was not going to take me where I was planning on going. Despite the early setback, I managed to make my way out on to the ice of the frozen Great Sacandaga Lake where I nearly wiped out about 20 more times as I reached almost double digit speeds! I was really covering some ground! I decided to abort my extended plans for this ride and come back home early, but I made a detour to a slightly longer, but safer route home. This route included a little road riding where I was able to record the top speed for this beast. You'll have to suffer through the video to find out what that was! These Fat Cats are honestly pretty fun machines. These were definitely not the conditions to be riding one in though. Maybe if I had studded tires it would be another story. I'm looking forward to giving this one a restoration when the time is right. For now, she'll have to sit patiently. #fatcat, #topspeed, #dangerous Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/this_old_trike/ Send me a DM if you'd like Join the Facebook group Honda Hoarders that I help run - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2039882316297155
