1984 Honda ATC 250R AUCTION,Donated by NOSBIGSHOT,Benefit for Sam Brehm's Family !!!!

[atc007]

Ok,guys. Here it is. NOSBIGSHOT has GIVEN us HIS PERSONAL ATC250R to sell,with EVERY penny going to Sam's family. Those reading this that do not know. Sam was a member here. I ,Nor Bigshot knew Sam,or ever talked w him,but he passed away unexpectedly last week. He left behind a Wife and 2 precious little daughters. We fealt the need to do a little something for them. We collected cash on another thread,then out of Nowhere,Bigshot threw this in the mix! So here we are ! I DO NOT know how to handle something like this! I frankly DO NOT have the time I've already put into this,,too mention,tickets,raffling,,keeping track of ALL the little stuff,adding it all up,,etc.. SOO,,this machine will be SOLD here ON THIS THREAD,IN PUBLIC EYE,the highest bid by 1:00 PM EDT,Sunday JULY 3rd,2011,OWNS it. The highest offer may be the 1st,it may come in at 12:59! BUT ,the highest offer here WILL be responsible to get the funds to me and have the machine shipped from Tucson AZ ,where it is sitting. Nosbigshot needs it out of his way in a timely manner. 2 weeks sound reasonable for all? Also,He races weekends,,he is out of touch a few days at a time. So lets be clear here. This will be a GENTLEMANS style auction,NO HARD FEELINGS,this is about raising money for a fallen member,,not haggling over a 3wheeler ! The price YOU POST,is the price YOU PAY ME. THEN,YOU will be responsible for the shipping of the unit. BS is working on getting us a cut rate price. I believe it can be shipped most places for $200- $400?? JUST GUESSING! Soo,there is NO need to wait till the last minute! Merrily post up what you are willing to pay ME for the R,then the shipping is on you! Here is the link to this BEAUTIFUL 250R,there is even a video on the 2nd page.http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php?131446-1984-Honda-ATC-250R-1000.00 I am in for $800 to get this started! Thanx all! Bill . Also,if you missed the other thread,my ppal is billsracing@hotmail.com if you just want to donate a dollar or two,or twenty! Thanx again all!

[atc350xer]

All you guys are amazing... proud to be a member here.

[NOSBIGSHOT]

This auction ....it kinda hits home for me . Last year about 3 months into training for the up coming WORCS series I had a spectacular get off at speed . In my quest for racing glory I had lost 30 lbs in a short time and was training very hard . It was hot in July and I just started my 30 mile loop I had no business on a bike I was not healthy and didn't have but three hours sleep . Long story short ...I am lucky to be here and thankful for my friends .

[Billy Golightly]

You guys are doing an awesome job. We collected quite a little at TF (I didn't count it, but we did good I think). That together with what you guys here are doing is fantastic. Please edit the first post with pictures in it, and I'll put this out on a Facebook blast and see if we can't generate some more.

[NOSBIGSHOT]

1K or BUST !!!!!


Its going to have a new seat !!!!

[atc007]

Just got home guys..Thanx to the Mosh's ! Billy,,I don't know how to put the pics in there! I KNOW that's the way it should be! Can you or Bigshot take care of that??! ALSO,,ALOT of questions on shipping! Bigshot,I feel an inch tall asking you for more!! Can we get a loose quote from your shipping guy. If not guys,,I've heard Forwardair,is fairly cheap. I usually just Google a quote,,then get like 20 free instant quotes. My last one, I ended up using USHIP,they charged a $20 fee,,AFTER they got me shipped from FLA to PA for $200. Thanx again all..

[Billy Golightly]

I just edited it. Let me wait till prime time little bit later this evening and I'll hit it up on Facebook and get some activity

[atc007]

Thanx Billy !!!!!!!! I know nothing about that stuff,,but stir it up!!!!!!!!

[zacsee250]

This is such a good thing. Thanks for putting up the Facebook post, that's what got my attention.

[NOSBIGSHOT]

When I know where its going I can beat him up....he told me $450 for two when I wanted to ship some 250Rs.

[aldochina]

950.00!!!!

[atc007]

Good man!!! Maybe it will come to the Northeast?! Guys,,feel free to post here,,,you don't neccesarilly HAVE to bid.... So we're at $950 for a beautiful 250R,,that will have a STORY behind it second to VERY FEW ... I have some neat ones in my collection,,,but I DO NOT have any with the established background this one will have, RIGHT HERE,on THE best 3wheeler forum in the universe ! . Donated from a COMPLETE stranger,to raise capital for a fallen commrades family,,then shipped across the country,,,,,,,maybe ?? Good stuff.

[justin4]

You guys are the best bunch of people I have had the chance to be a part of. Hold your heads high and know Sam is looking down happy he had a chance to be a part of this fine group of out laws. Three Wheelers And There Riders Rule.

[Thorpe]

All I can say is WOW... You guys rock. Plain and simple. This is the coolest thing I have ever seen happen on this forum... Mad props!

[bkm]

I definitely tip my cap to both NOSBIGSHOT, and atc007, for their unselfish dedication to this cause. It makes me proud to be a part of this website and this sport/addiction.

Kudos to both!!!!!!!

[atc007]

Donations are still rolling in. Very good stuff indeed! Thanx AGAIN to ALL who are giving.

[atc007]

TTT for Friday night. Cmon guys! This is over in just over 40 hours!

[atc007]

Bump for you West coast guys! Shipping would be Peanuts for you guys!! Cmon,,Bigshot gave up his ride here. He wants to see it over a grand! And the kicker is,,it's worth it!! Even if it weren't for such a great cause! Thanx all!

[yooperman]

just sent a donation your way for this cause, this is a really AWSOME!!!!! thing you guys are doing here for this fellow trikers family, this is truely a great community we all are part of. it shocks me every day how tight close knit group this is. you dont see much of this type of stuff any more especially for people you hardly know let alone people you know you dont see this type of close knit. This is just great!!! and i am PROUD!!! to be a part of this community. just let me know if you recieved my donation so i know for sure you recieved it.

[atc007]

25 1/2 hours left guys!!! Bid this thing up !!

[NOSBIGSHOT]

If anyone wishes to find out how much shipping is , here is Matt's email wolverinetransport@yahoo.com

[Dirtcrasher]

You guys are the best bunch of people I have had the chance to be a part of. Hold your heads high and know Sam is looking down happy he had a chance to be a part of this fine group of out laws. Three Wheelers And There Riders Rule.

Well, we should do it anytime someone is hurting and we can afford 20$ or so. It means allot to them. It happened to Yamahondaman and his wife sent a nice thank you. I wish I had sent some money to 3wheelio back when he was killed. If ya don't have anything to give, no big deal. But, we have plenty of members that can throw a few bucks down in a given situation and it helps the families............

IDK how many members we have, but a few thousand of us recognize one anothers name, have read there posts etc etc, the rest are just members. But there is plenty of $$ to go around for a good cause.

[aldochina]

come on guys!! i have no where to put this, not much $ to ship it, and i havnt told my wife yet!! i figured id be out bid immediately! pony up!!!

[atc007]

LMAO!! ^^^^ NOW,,,,THAT"S a great guy !!! Everything will work out in the end.... Guys,,,the SEAT alone....will be worth???? After the Mosh's do their magic... I Hope I'm ok saying this,,but there are BRAND new tires and rims on it,,w the Stock gold rims and tires that came on it when he bought it. Really nice R for sure!

[TatTooL23]

Sooo tempting.... I'm very close to u Aldo...

[NOSBIGSHOT]

I'm telling you guys as many trikes as I have seen the last two weeks , I drove 200 miles to look at stuff people had for sale ..nothing is as clean as this one in unrestored condition . I cant tell you how many dont have a title . This trike has the original MSO and a new Works Performance rear shock . The rear wheels and tires are new . The pipe and silencer appear to be new . The engine has a ton of compression and does not rattle like a my 71 AJS . Its smooth and tight . Listen to the video . On video all air cooled two strokes sound like a skeleton jacking off on a tin roof . I'd like to see it go for a grand . I'm tempted to buy it back from the auction .

[atc007]

Shipping would be cheap : )

[NOSBIGSHOT]

I washed it today . Its funny , I have had every kind of toy in front of my house ....the amount of attention a 2-stroke 3 wheeler gets is amazing . Everyone has a 3 wheeler story !!!!

If anyone has any questions I can answer let me know . Thanks

[aldochina]

starting to get pumped, the more i think about the prospect of owning this beauty!! If this wasnt for a great cause i never would have bid on this trike!! gonna be a killer addition to the collection!! you guys really gonna let me get this for a song!!

[TatTooL23]

I wont over bid u if u just break down and sell me that '86 TRX250R ! Lol

[atc007]

4 1/2 hours left guys... Get in here and BID !

[Russell 350X]

This is awesome guys!!!!!!!

[atc007]

3 hours,,,Noone else wants a shot at this Gorgeous 250 R ?!

[atc007]

2 1/2 hours guys.. I gotta go work. Really hope to see this badboy over $1200 for Sam when I get back in here!!!

[atc007]

Hour and a half left...

[aldochina]

looks like i may be the new owner of a sweet air fooler!! i know absolutely nothing about this particular model! less than 45 mins.

[atc007]

Well,,they're about as sexy as a trike can get,IMHO. They run like stink. They are HIGHLY underrated!! They are very close in quickness to the liquids. Just an awesome machine. Carb ,rear suspension,and general suepension setup was changed from 83 to 84. Decal under the seat was flared in 83,straight in 84,rear Pro Link arm reaches up out further in 84. Just more refined than 83,,which were Phenominal bikes!! That pipe on there is worth an extra gear lugging around. I know he completely serviced it,oils,new air filter. New Rear Works shock. The seat will be Brand new from The Mosh's. { Thanx again guys!!!} The rear tires and rims are spankin new,{5 hours??} A GREAT buy,,even if it WASN"T for such a great cause!! Thanx again to You and Flossy for bidding!!!!!!!!!!!! HAlf hour left guys!!!!!!

[Frankencelery]

This is so awesome guys. I don't really know any of you personally, but it makes me proud to be a member here. Almost done...aldochina, looks like you might be the one!

[atc007]

SEVEN MINUTES GUYS!! CMON! bigshot GAVE his 250R up for a COMPLETE STRANGERS family.. ALL HE WANTED,,,,was to see it bring A GRAND .. Please someone????

[Tazberry]

Nothing like helping somebody in need....1000.00

Chris Berry

[aldochina]

5 mins!! hopefully this isnt like ebay, and someone swipes it with a last second bid!! should have stipulated 50.00 increments!! lol!

[aldochina]

too late with that post!! dude nothing like dashing my excitment!! first post on the boards !! if its not legit let me know!!

[aldochina]

like my day wasnt bummed enough already with this crappy weather!

[Frankencelery]

No, Tazberry came in at $1000 about 2 minutes before the end. I don't know if my clock is exactly right on....someone confirm???

[Tazberry]

How did I notnget it with a post before your five min to go?

[atcchicky]

he deleted it so i think its taz

[atc007]

Ok,I have NO stop watch!! My comp says 1:04,and Taz's bid is 6 minutes ago. And Aldo,you posted twice after his bid. I guess he owns a 250R! Sure HOPE this is all legit!!! Thanx all!!

[atc007]

Taz absolutely BEAT the clock,,as long he's legit!

[Tazberry]

Aldo if you want to match I'll let you have it as I'm in Iraq. It was just that a lot of big names helped me get into racing years ago and it was my way to give back to the three-wheeler community

[atc007]

Aldo?? What's your call friend?

[aldochina]

you got the high bid man! just awkward to see that as a first post. like i said if the bid is not legit let me know. just deflating to have it end that way!!

[Tazberry]

Yes I'm legit....ask Eric Roland, Jackie meadows, or step out and call Mickey Dunlap

[atc007]

No problem EITHER way guys. This is all for Sam's family.... And a really nice 250R !!!!!!!!!!!

[atcchicky]

this is just like ebay that sucks someone with zero who never intended on paying snips at the last minute and then no one buys the damn thing.

[atc007]

Yes I'm legit....ask Eric Roland, Jackie meadows, or step out and call Mickey Dunlap

I BELIEVE you TAZ! And assuming a little here....Thanx for your service!!

[atc007]

this is just like ebay that sucks someone with zero who never intended on paying snips at the last minute and then no one buys the damn thing.

I HIGHLY doubt that is going to happen here,,Either way.

[atc007]

you got the high bid man! just awkward to see that as a first post. like i said if the bid is not legit let me know. just deflating to have it end that way!!

Ok,TAZ,,looks like you owe me $1000 ! Thank you ALL!! Flossy,Aldo,and TAZ. AND ,,,OBVIOUSLY!!! Nosbigshot!! You got the grand!!! Thank you,and I will let you know what Sam's family has to say about you guys!!

[aldochina]

off to a 4th party in the rain!! its been fun!!

[atc007]

OK,,Thanx again ALDO!!! Enjoy the party!!

[Tazberry]

Ok...bottom line is I could buy a hundred of these. Don't hate if you didn't bid. Aldo I was being a gentleman and my offer to you stands until paid for if you want to think about it....whom ever I need to speak to about arrangements on wire transfer and shipping please contact me via email at chris_berry@kbr.com and remember I am 8 hrs ahead of you. You can also contact me at my desk phone from midnight eastern till 1 pm eastern. 713-970-6174

[NOSBIGSHOT]

[atc007]

$1000 Bigshot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the MAN!!! THANK YOU !!!!! We need a whole lot more like you friend..

[atc007]

Taz,,I PM'ed you. And Thank you again!!!

[atc007]

I just got off the phone w TAZ guys! Whew! One of the true pioneers of our sport!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNGGGGG Story Short.. He used to race Tricky Dicks Cagiva's w Gentry. Was sponsored by Powroll before that,,knows Tracie Meadows,Obviously Mickey Dunlap etc... Great guy. No doubt in my mind he's good people. Aldo,he does extend the chance for you to match till tomorrow. Just saying,he's a great guy! He works in Iraq,and will probably not SEE this bike till after New Years!! He plans on having it at Trikefest next year! So,,Bigshot,,the race is on!! So,again,thanx to all who bid,and gave. I have a very busy few days here. I will get a total up as soon as I get it all put together and let you all know what we were able to get done. Thanx again all!

[tri-Z ripper]

[davetheone]

i can feel the spirit of this trike...im so poor that i can't afford this 3 wheeler..i hope that someone like me will be rich enough to buy it..to let this spirit flying free like a bird..

[beets442]

Again Thanks...now time to get back to my first love almost 30 yrs later...and all you guys better get ready for trike fest 2012. as my only practice for the past few years has been on a full custom Vtwin with go go juice...AGAIN THANKS

[Billy Golightly]

Awesome job guys. Chris, thank you very much for stepping up to the plate and being the high bidder, thank you to everyone that participated and bid on this. I'm sure Sam's family appreciates EVERYONE's generosity very much.

[atc007]

Well,Chris,thank you. It was a real pleasure talking with you!! And rest assured,as long as I am able,I will be helping people. That is what I was put here for. You NOW not only own a racing ATC again. But one that has quite a Spirit! Quite a STORY to go with it. I hope you were able to catch up a bit on this story! A LOT of reading indeed. Your Dad is very proud. Now,,,LEAVE THE THUMB ON IT! Bill

[atc007]

Thank you Billy,3wheelerworld,, for the oppurtunity to do this. Btw,,YOU brought him in off Facebook. I've never been on,,but he says there has been a LOT of chatter over this! Expect some new members. Thanx again to all, Bill

[Mosh]

Taz contacted me about the seat, asking if the offer will stand until he returns. Yes it will.

But I would rather have NOS ship me the seat now so we can get it done and back to him before he ships the machine. Please contact me NOS.
Thanks Guys.

[DRKCYDE]

Very cool story. Proud to be a member here seeing how people go out of their way to help each other.

[NOSBIGSHOT]

I'm easy . I will do what ever

[aldochina]

hopefully you will keep it!! hate to see it bought and resold again. if you do ever unload it hit me up!! if you know me, than you know if i get it its stayin put!!. I was also gonna ask the mosh's to maybe throw a small tribute to sam on the seat cover if i won it, just to always remember the story behind the machine, and of course the man! maybe just his name, and dates, or if someone that knows him may know of an appropriate quote or nickname he would have liked. just a small stencil on the back or something. was just an idea i had in (pre-mature)anticipation lol!!

[atc007]

I don't think he has ANY intention of reselling it???? Anyhow,if he does,it would almost SURELY be back thru this forum!. He's a great guy,a true 3 wheeler lover!

[TrickyDickII]

Congrats Chris!! Lol, nice entry post to 3WW. I'm planning on TF next year since I couldn't make it this year. Looking forward to catching up with you and seeing your 250r.

[Mosh]

We still have not recieved the seat from NOSBIGSHOT.
Last PM I got from him was a month ago saying it would be sent out to us.

Anyone have any info?

[atc007]

I've been in contact W Tammy today . She'll fill you in when she gets home from practice..lol. Nosbigshot is at the races till Tuesday,hopefully then he will get that seat your direction,and the ATC Chris' direction ; ) Thanx again for everything !!!
