Can't seem to get my hands on another one. I want I mean i NEED another trike..I have yet to see a decent one locally for sale in the past few years. Want one soooo bad.. Probably not going to happen for a while though so maybe a project could ease the pain..
Had a 250r for a little bit until my father sold it because i almost killed myself. Than i he come home with another trike that swept me away in a stream when i tried to cross it. Dang tires were huuuuge.!! No front suspension other than the massive front tire..But it served it's propose .For many years me and my brothers used and abused that thing. I want my 250r back though or even a 350x .. Anyone else remember growing up on these things??? Man those were the days. !!!!!
 
I got a 84 atc 70 in 1984. I grew up on that thing. Fun, but looking back on it, I'd never get one for my Kid! My brother just sold the 350x to Our neighbor that was like our brother growing up. He is crazy enough to ride it on the trails here, Its a work out taking that thing through the woods.

Here is a pic of him on it at a poker run in the fall.
 
There is a very nice ATC 250r here in Michigan for sale but the guy wants way to much. My ex wifes cousin had a 350x a long time ago. That was beast. I myself have a Kawasaki klt160 3 wheeler. It has about an inch and a half suspension travel in the forks and no suspension in the rear. Nice little utility shaft drivin 4 stroke with reverse.
 
I like 3 wheelers. I started riding 3 wheelers 5 or 6 years ago after finding a 200X and restoring it. It was something I wanted as a kid but was never allowed to get. Finally gave up on trikes after losing spark on my Tecate.....just got tire of the search for parts. That's the biggest factor that lead me to Blasters, virtually unlimited parts availability (and of course being a smoker wasn't optional). I still have a complete 85 200X but it's at a guys house that I haven't seen in a few years. I've always planned to do a Blaster engine swap into it, I think that would be a fun trike.
 
Blaster motor in a trike would be interesting. I want to do a blaster motor in a simple mini bike. Only because mini bikes r so simple and i would like a screaming two stroke mini bike. =)
