Billy called moments ago to congratulate the boys.

I'd just like to take a moment to thank everyone that contributed parts, services, and labor in making this 350X an awesome prize. From what I can see in the pics on the build thread, a lot of effort went into this machine.

Hats off to everyone that made this possible! Great work!

Wish I won it - bad year to say the least :D I tried and hopefully the board made some $$........

Anyhow, glad to hear it went to a family with kids, that trike will mean the WORLD to them and you can get at least 6 months to a year or so of bribes from your kids :D :lol:

Congrats!! :beer:

God Dam! That thing is beatiful! Congrats, though I wish I had won it :) My plans were to have everyone at TF sign the fenders and have the people that donated the parts and such sign it as well. Then it was going into a shed all by itself. This bike will be a "One of a Kind Bike" in the years to come. Think the "Only known bike built by 3WW". I would only go in to start it once in awhile just to keep the motor and seals etc in good shape.

Again congrats!! and also congrats on selling all the tickets!

My employer at DC Cycle & Racing(Red Bay, AL) used to GNCC for KTM. He's not even a 3-wheeler fan(seemingly....at all), but he can't quit going on about how nice this one looks in that pic above. He said it is "the nicest 3-wheeler he's ever seen". It may go in the showroom on display for a few days.

I'd like to enter it in a couple of local car/cycle shows....along with our other rides cleaned up, with a banner for 3wheelerworld.com .

It's going to be(real) tough(financially speaking), but I'm going to try to go after it(it's at Corey's 550+ miles away) this weekend.

My dilemma is this: My boys, though very gently, want to ride it.....of course. I and many others here recognize that this one is on or above the level of "for looks and preservation" (EXCELLENT work sandpuppi) clearly evident even just from a photograph. So, we've got some discussion and studying yet to do.

My '85 350X back in 1985 didn't look that good......but back then you could get them all day long, so taking a pristine machine to the woods then was different.

Decisions, decisions.....and tecat-z, we are going to be planning from now until TF 2011, saving back whenever possible, to make it next year.

Once again Congrats! :Bounce:Bounce:Bounce THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR WE SOLD OUT OF TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the boys only had one ticket in the pot....ticket #0002. Simply amazing. Just goes to show that anyone has a chance. Next year, whatever the raffle machine may be, we need to print, sell, and buy more tickets. It clearly only takes one to have a chance, everybody. Next year, someone is going to feel what we're (in my house) feeling now.

3WW and the information handed out here have been the savior of countless 3-wheelers that would have otherwise rotted or been scrapped. I for one, especially now, feel the need to contribute more.

Thanks again everyone. I'll have pics when I get the X.

So what's the scoop? Did ya get a chance too meet up with Corey and go get Betsy yet? Thanks alot for the compliment's on the build,and I doo hope that you do put it up in the showroom even if it's just for a day or so and i'd love too see how it does in a few show's,i'm sure it would hold it's own against a few Harley and or other motorcycle Trike conversion's.If you could can you maybe send me a few pic's signed by you and your boy's so I can put it up with my other project picture's I have hanging around my shop wall's,I'd really appreciate that.

I gotta say that it feel's pretty good as a builder to see people so excited over something that I built,it make's it all worth while in the end and inspire's me to build another machine which I ablosutely love doing.It's one thing to look back at a completed build when i'm done with it and take it all in but it's 100 time's better when other's take it in and enjoy it also,I guess that's why I keep doing them.I'd also like too add that the product's on that build from the other Vendor's such as ATC Sam ,Jake & Carp with the powder work,Ronnie and his custom cap's,Tapper and his guard's,Mosh's with the awesome seat,and the other anyonomous people that put up the grabbar,six pack rack,custom cover and more also helped complete that build and make it what it is.
