My cousin (brother) Damon dropped this off to me yesterday. Came to Kearney from Lincoln to deliver the machine and help out my band with a gig last night. He is a resident here as well. What a fun machine! It's a 1984 Yamaha 225DX. I never really thought I wanted a trike, but alas, it has happened, and I can't wait to get out and ride some river and sand with my AR15 mounted on the rack. Front rack, DG exhaust, and AMR graphics coming soon!

Not that it wouldn't look cool but why the ar15? It's gonna get all nasty from riding, especially if you're mudding by a river.

It's my only rifle. My baby, so it gets taken down and cleaned regularly. With that said, I'll find a scabbard for it.

Back to the trike, this is my first Yamaha or off road vehicle of any kind besides my Jeep, which is cool, because I'm a Yamaha freak.

I appreciate the opportunity to own one, and can't wait to get some rides in with my brother soon.

My first trike was a Yamaha tri moto and I loved it. Have fun with the new addiction!

Maybe your band could create and post a three wheelin song? Southern metal country hip hop should work. What ya think?

This is too funny. Dont think I ever showed this to jman. We'll see what we can do, lol.

Im working on a cover song just for fun, changing the lyrics to Moonshine Bandits "To My Outlawz" If youve heard the song it makes more sense.

This is just for fun, if you don't like it, try to go easy on me:lol:
Here's just a couple verses I have so far.


I'm an Outlaw, gimme 3 wheels,
Quad junkies, wouldn't know how this feels,
For my Outlaws, give us 3 wheels,
We can throw a roost across your bean fields...

I'm a 3 wheel ridin' S.O.B., if you don't like that then you won't like me, I'm an outlaw.

Fire up the Honda now I'm off to Glamis to do my thang,
Flyin' up these sand dunes, quads be feelin' ashamed.
I got the common folk thinkin' that I'm goin' insane.
True outlaw, think I'm lyin'? just check out my frame.
Now until I'm 96, you can bet that I'll be rockin' this 3 wheeled shlt.

I'm a 3 wheel ridin' S.O.B., if you don't like that then you won't like me, I'm an outlaw.


So that's it so far.Even follows your metal country hip hop suggestion.

In addition, I was cleaning the shop today and ran across this tire. Damn near brand new. Should work for a front. If you want it i'll bring it to the gig Friday, jman.

Exhaust came in Friday, and I managed to find a sick helmet to match the machine. Now I'm just waiting on a spark arrestor, then I'll be ready for the trails. :naughty:
