The other day I was digging thru some pic's and came across something you all would like too see! This is a '86 ATC 200X that I built for the old lady ,I am guessing in '92-or '93 if my memory serve's me.I had originally owned it back in the late 80's and sold it to a buddy of mine,it was mint when I sold it to him.Anyways after he had it for a few years,I asked him about it and he said it was broke,Broke my arse,it was a basketcase!! I bought it back for 100.00 and decided I was gonna make a trike for the wife! I had a '84 250R at the time and figured this would be perfect for her.I let her pick out the color scheme and she went with some pretty wild colors,metallic green on purple,WOW!! So anyways I built it for her and she rode it 2 times and said she was'nt as interested in it as she thought(typical woman thinking),So anyways I sold it to some huy's from Bowling Green,Maybe someone on here,and that's when I got my beloved '85 250R !!

Looks pretty sweet. The paint scheme is kinda "wow", but hey, its an eye catcher for sure.

Did you ever get my email or PM about the sproket removal on the 125m motor I bought from you??

Just sent you a PM,I'm glad too see that you liked the X Trikezillia! Not much for speed but that thing could dig some serious holes in the sand with those paddles!

I must not have hit the enter button on my reply this morning ,,, oh well.
I like that colour scheme. I would have said a big no to it in a description but after seeing it ,,, not bad.

Got the sweatshirt sandpuppy ,,, nice , very nice !

Got the PM. I bet that thing digs a mean hole.

So thats a 200x motor in a 83/84R?? How difficult was that to accomplish? I was thinking about putting a 4 stroke engine in mine for trails and the 2 stroke in for racing. What are those fenders from??
