Hey guys, been living in northern British Columbia for a year or so now, and in the past month I've gotten back in the trike game. Picked up two 250es, one ran and the other for parts. Thinking of fixing up the parts one and selling it to get some coin back. Then my friend picked up a 250es that runs excellent, and just the other day we got two 200es and neither ran. Figured out some wiring problems and they run great. There are so many trikes up here just parked and its awesome reviving them. I'll get some pics on here asap.

Very Cool!!! I have a hard time deciding if I like riding or fixing better, I guess I like to do both 50/50!!!
Even if we dont keep them, if we fix them up and try to keep these Trikes running and they get sold to someone else or passed along it will greatly help with our addiction, wether its getting more people hooked, or keeping the "parts pool" full!!!

Good luck with the hunt, never know what you might find!!! Looking forward to pics!!!

Lucky finds, it seems to me that guys want to much out of trikes around here (pg) I did get a sweet 125m last winter in good shape with new plastic and good tires for $300..and just got a 84 250r with a 300 kit that was advertised on kijiji,the good priced ones seem to go in minutes or hours,the r is for my 14yr old, he is stoked..long live the trikes..

The riding is so diverse here...just to get to that view from the cliff, there are tight woods, open canola fields, dirt roads, mudholes, creek crossings, hillclimbs, etc. I love this place and there's always something new to see. Thanks for the kind words guys!

Either my eyes are off or you've got a few serious hills to climb out there! The place looks incredible!

179516Rescued another 85 250es this week. Complete bike, owner broke the front axle and left it parked. Great fenders, decent tank, and After going through the carb, runs like a champ. Awesome score IMO! It's all together and running now I'll snap an updated pic soon
