[loshe191]

Very nice looking Big Red.

[redskinman]

Thanks!
Im stoked about it,looks like its in really good shape and doesnt smoke.I checked airfilter and it was brand new so he's probably telling the truth on the other stuff

[ktmcrasher]

that looks great. i just took a look at mine in the garage & couldn't stop laughing at the POS i bought!

[Flossyb20]

Amazing find...great score! I'm sure if you ask around on here you could probably find a matching front tire for a good price.

[dirtwheels]

Great pickup! Enjoy your new ride.

[aldochina]

[oldtime3wheeler]

[dustrunner]

[kebby28]

That thing is mint. Good price!!!

[ebaccm26]

Very nice! All the ones that pop up around here lately are trashed or overpriced, I'd say you got a great deal.

[redskinman]

Thanks!
Im sure everyone on here has seen someone get a good deal and say why cant that happen to me? I know I have,well yesterday was my day :)

I think it also shows how bad the economy must be.Houston is supposed to be one of the better places yet this thing sat on Craigslist for at least a week priced at
1500 {which I thought was already a good price} I emailed him with my number and and offered a 1000 {because I knew this was going to be a hard sale to get by the wife,lol} He texted me and countered with 1200.I thought about it a day,got the ok from the wife and the boss left me leave work early to go get it

NICE score indeed!!!

Does anyone know if that brochure has already been scanned/posted? I had a look at the '85 section here:

http://www.3wheelerworld.com/Brochures/ATCsite/85atcs.html

and I don't see it listed... maybe if no scanned copy exists you could oblige?!? :)

Good point Xhumeka...I was thinking the same thing. Not sure if I've seent that manual before. What a score to get the original copy!

[Big G]

Very nice Big Red indeed Redskin! I have the same trike. Mine's missing the black rear fender trim pieces as well. Looks like yours still has the original rear tires. Also cool that the front rack still has the warning decal...you don't see that often anymore. Only thing I'd do to it is take the headlight guard off and give it a fresh coat of paint :p

I could do that if one of the mods want me to and tells me where to add it

That's great, thanks mate. I sent Billy Golightly a PM and hopefully he will reply to this thread whether or not a scan already exists for the brochure and/or manual.
