This is how badly I want an FMF Fatty that I've had my eyes on. I'm still $89 short... but I haven't counted the pennies yet.

I have problems, right? :Bounce

Funny how back in 85 I had a list hanging on my bedroom wall of the like 20 things I needed to do / buy for my R. Well here it is, almost 20 years later, & I now HAVE THAT R with that entire list complete! Problem is, now in my head, there is a list of 20 more improvements / purchases I want for it!?!?!? :p
Its a never ending "cycle", pun intended. :beer

We are all crazy because we are part of a dying breed. Im only 16 and I'm glad I was shown the light. Check the washer and dryer for loose change.

Man, now I know I'm not the only one! :p

I'll search high and low to find the money to get the goodies for my trike.

Problem with these darned trikes is they're addictive!!!
If my wife didn't keep me in check, I'd be like the "Trike pound"...taking in any and all stray Trikes! :D

lol, my freinds wanted to go to the movies and we were all broke so we totally scrounged our houses and came up with the money, the bighgest denomination being a 2$ coin, and i can tell you the the ticket dude was not happy having to count ot about 30$ of 5 and 10 cent coins.

Got it! :Bounce

$229.95 and he didn't charge me tax on it. :TrikesOwn

After spending the majority of my day off counting and rolling coins though, I started to wonder if it would have been easier to melt the coins down and make my own pipe. Would give new meaning to the term "nickel plated" too. :D

I cashed it in at the bank first. The owner of the place I bought it from has always done me right so I couldn't bring myself to do that to him. :)

That's the only one he had. It's Arizona Off Road on 19th ave and Mountain View. If you've never been there before, it's just a little hole in the wall but the dude (Bob) has always done right by me so I keep giving him my business so long as he has what I'm looking for.

They worked on my trike before but screwed it up so I won't do anything but buy parts from there. Yah they have some odd ball things that nobody else does! When I first moved to Phoenix I lived in the appartments right by there.
