this thing is depressing me. I dont know what it is about it, but it just sits there, always in the way, collecting dust. I love it, and hate it at the same time. What should I do with it? Should I store it away somewhere? I have no interest in restoring it at this time, and even if I did restore it, I wouldnt ride it. I dunno what to do with this thing. there is too much crap around this house. :x I dont have the bucks to dump into it, and make it nice-but mabey I will some time soon. I have no land to ride it on, just a neighbors property, and that is not real Tiger territory. I would like to have it restored and use it for drags, or ice racing, but then I would be the only trike out there, and would not have the time to do it very often. :x :x What do you guys do if you owned it? just sit on it for a while or sell it?

If I owned it I would ride it. If everythings works, and the frame isnt to rusty, I would just ride it. A lot of people here would like to buy it, you could could sell it here for a fair price, and know it will go to a good palce. I would gladly offer to buy it, but my current situation isnt very good with money.

DO NOT SELL IT! I dont know you , but if you sold a treasure like that ,yull be kicking yourself in the arse for the rest of your riding life. Those things are too rare to just get rid of because the chances that you would run into one of those again is next to nill. There probably isnt a guy onthis board who wouldnt love to have that thing sitting unrestored in their garage, just to say that they have it and anybody that tells you other wise doesnt appreciate its rarity and collectability or just wants you to sell it to them. I would prbably sell all of my other toys before I would part with a tiger. I recently sold my prize posession because it was only riden about three times a month or less (yamaha vmax 1200 which was paid off) and I have regretted it everyday since and now I cant afford to buy another. Okay Im done now, just had to get my two cents worth in.---Joe

:rolleyes: from the main page lol

keep the bike trikeaholic, I would keep it even if I didn't ride it it'll have a chance to strut it's stuff at the next haspin, show them up on the drag track, and we need the rare trikes around that not many people have seen. On that note I just traded my R for a 86 tecate hehe even that sucker gets some weird looks when you drive down the interstate w/ it

i thought about all these issues and still undecided. I was offered $3000+ for it a while ago, and couldnt do it. Therefore, see my dilemma. I could "cash in" or basically "donate" it to someone who would deserve it (Howdy) and take proper care of it. I know how rare it is, and what needs to be done with it. I just dont know if I can do it. Same reason I sold my International Scout, I regret it to this day, but supposedly, it got a frame off resto, so I feel a little better. Im not one of those people that can let someting rot, thinking "im gonna fix it up someday" (like my mustang, right chev!) (inside joke-guy reads the board-dont post) Its hard to see it sitting there. know what I mean?? moneys tight these days. and here I go with the quadsport project. I guess I'll never learn. Glad I have 3WW to let me know Im not the only guy with the same basic troubles. :rolleyes:
