There was a guy who rode across America on Kinetic TFR. He had quite a bit of problems - but then again, I'd be surprised of many mopeds would perform flawlessly on such a long journey.

Yeah, Avery Bloom was the guy who rode cross country on his TFR. Interestingly enough, he never updated his journals after landing somewhere in Colorado. Did he just give up or did his moped die or ...?

I recall from his journal entries that he had a slew of initial startup problems -- it took about three days to exorcise all the gremlins from his moped. Kinda iffy, if you ask me...

I had the opportunity to buy a TFR for $200 recently, but I declined because although it was in great condition, I just didn't see myself riding one long term (plus, I'm a top-tank aficionado).

Anyone ever use the new TFR USA models? I believe those use a variator system similar to the Peugeots, correct?
