This me on the left and my cousin riding trikes back in the Day. 1983 or so.The 110 on the right is my trike. Im riding my cousins 185. Its the big 185. Not the 185s. THe first year of the 185. Cant remember the year. They still have it out in the barn. Dad dug this one up for me. Notice me with a helmet. But with no shoes. :rolleyes: Thought you guys would get a kick out of it. :beer

Yeah dad scanned it for me. He has a ton of old reel movies. I know we have some more pics. Next time im home, im going to go thru them and find more pics. I think that 185 is a 1980.

Is the trike you're riding an ATC 200. The tires look like 25 inchers. Ahhh...those were the good ole days.

Somehow those balloon tire trikes were so much fun. Now I after all the fast stuff we ride (250r's, Tri Z's) I bet they are still fun.....I will have to pick one up one day.

No, its definately a 185. It was the same frame as the 200. It was a good size bike. Notice the round headlight. That was the first 185. :beer

Definitely 185 I've seen one like that in mint shape before. Clay, you got me looking through my albums last night! I found one of me on my big red 3 years ago, one of me on the same big red when I was riding it in my yard when I was 5! I had all camo on and camo face paint on and I could barely reach the pegs! I also found a few from before I was born of my Dad and buddies moose hunting with the trikes. They had a Yamahauler, 200ES, and my 200E (note this was before I was born, thats how long the big red has been in the family). What they did to haul like 2 whole moose was pretty much tie the trikes together in a "trike train" as it was called, the three trikes together would haul as much as a 4x4 pickup, except the trikes would go where a 4x4 couldn't. I'll have them scanned sometime and I'll get them posted.

I blew the pic up and I was definately barefoot. Guess I was lucky back then. I dont remember ever hurting my feet. But there is no way I would ride now without shoes or boots. :D
