RIDE-RED 250r

So, we weren't looking for another trike at the moment. Heck, I still have a few more little projects to get done on the ones we have...
My wife stumbles across an '84 125m for sale locally on Facebook for pretty cheap and wants to go look at it because the seller says it's in excellent original condition.
So we go look at it and find it to be very much as stated. It does need a good PM service, a bath, and new tires because the 31 year old originals are pretty dry rotted. (2 actually hold air!). It has very stale fuel in the tank, and despite that she fires right up cold without a hint of smoke or any other issues!
This thing doesn't have a single crack or rip and still has the trunk lid! This thing is a true survivor that has spent alot of time sitting in a garage and just served the purpose of getting the owner in and out of the woods for hunting.. Also, the seller is the original owner who bought it new. :)
I'm pretty sure my wife has developed a soft spot for the smaller hard-tail trikes and I could tell she wanted this one, so we couldn't walk away from it for the asking price of $225. I think we did very good and that they could have gotten double their asking price around here without much issue :)
The other pics are my kids... My daughter riding the 110 for the second time and my boy playing on my Big Red..
I'll get more pics later. I'm kind of proud of this one..
