[SWIGIN]

That's pretty bad ass Bruce!

[ColtonGG33]

Talk about awesome! Love the details in it, I can tell it tok alot of hours to build :)

[ColtonGG33]

How does it run?

[captainweezy]

You had my vote when you rolled up to camp. What a great build. This one is going down in history.

[Worden18]

Man that is just kick ass! I can only imagine how much time you have into it. Very cool, congrats!! :beer

[Vealmonkey]

I recognize some of those parts! LOL Turned out way nicer that I envisioned. Another wild machine. Now when are you going to make the Mini Tiger a 2 stroke????? That's what I've been waiting on. Are you going to have a Sunday off soon? LOL

[Cave Rider]

Great build man !!! Beautiful work,im diggin all of the details.

[DasUberKraut]

Impressive imagination. The thought put into this build is nothing short of phenomenal.

[kb0nly]

That is SWEEEETTTT....

I can see you need to change out the front axle though, tire to close to the fender, but man that is so cool!! What are you planning on using to correct that on the front end?

[Louis Mielke]

I'm in LOVE!

[Ghostv2]

Because of the details you put into that, it really does look factory made.

Imagine if Honda would of thought up something like that in the mid 80's? A little kid riding on a near identical trike to his fathers or big brother big red. Would of been a very cool thing to have.

[joefixit0]

Great job! looks great, I love the detail!

[falloutboy]

Very nice job! I love all the details. Looks like a factory machine.

[Larry T Moore]

I dig it...maybe you need to make a series and offer them out?

[yamaha225dr]

Good job on this sweet little machine! That is a real eye catcher.

[dougspcs]

That is indescribably cool!!

If that were in production, I would buy it.

[Scootertrash]

SCHWWEEEET!!

Great work! I love it!

[atc007]

I am speechless Bruce. That is awe inspiring. WOW.....

[MojaveRider]

The details are amazing.

[New2Tri-Z]

What a work of art. The time and detail spent on that is incredible. You are very good at what you do sir.

[ATC-Eric]

Awesome build!!!!!!

[Darius1502]

Simply amazing! Beautiful!! Well done Sir!

[Dirtcrasher]

I came down to your camp for a throttle cable and I didn't get a tour!!?? :lol:

Really fantastic build Mr Blue!!

[kimmer250r]

That thing looked amazing in person! Very nice job on it!

[sp8twn]

Great job!!! Seen it at trikefest and had to take a double look to see what it was?!:wondering,,,nice work blue27

[CRAZY70MAN]

As I told you at trikefest Bruce....your attention to the smallest details always amaze me....I love that thing.It was an absolute honor to be nominated and stand up there with ya......... I can only imagine what you have brewing for next year.....lol.... I have an idea though... Thanks for the kickarss stickers bro...

[ScreaminRed]

That's Awesome!! Gotta agree with ghost on the Father Son/Daughter thing. Honda missed the boat on that one.

[200X FT]

Mini red is awesome. Definitely looks OEM. Maybe thats how the 125m's should of been done? In kind of the opposite thinking, it made me have an idea about a Big-er Red. That would be cool too

[redsox]

really cool, man. awesome build. very impressive.

[Kintore]

I saw this thing in person, it is a WORK OF ART! well done! and super cool

[blue27]

Thanks Guys, it was a fun build for sure.

[atc350xer]

My favorite mini ever. And thanks for letting me ride the mini tiger!

[roostin atc]

This mini captured my eye from the top of the hill at the entrance of haspen. Just amazing, it made me limp over to see it.

[ps2fixer]

That is the cutest 3 wheeler I have ever seen O.o. Honda would have sold so many if they made them as a production model!

[Jason125m]

Now THAT is BEAUTIFUL! Great job, you're attention to detail is flawless.
Great job man! When are you taking orders ? :)

[captainweezy]

Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve at TF14. It's going to be hard to top this though.

[408Fairmont]

Awesome! You killed it man, good freakin job.

[blue27]

I am taking the year off,lol. I started a full factory original restoration if a 1973 ATC 70 that I have had for the last 27 years. I probably will not take it to TF. But if I get it done early....

Thanks for the compliants on the Mini Red

Ok if your out then I may have a chance!:lol:

[motoman1012002]

this puts the honda big red side by side to shame great build

[bad to the bone]

nice build, something you might want to look at is the rake angle (looks like it is basically vertical) need more of an angle is what i mean by.

[blue27]

blow the dust off this one, old thread. I believe we discussed this already... it was a rush for Trikefest 2013 and not all the bugs were worked out. Updated pics will be posted WITH THE FRONT END CORRECT! someday by the new owner ,this trike has been sold.

[oscarmayer]

Dam lucky new owner. I would have baught it!!!
