Very nice...those are some clean trikes.

How long is that 250r swinger? What's it like to ride on anything but a hill shoot???

[whipit]

that 250R would rock with a real swingarm on it,,,nice clean looking tecate too

[oldsking86]

Thanks guys.. yea the swingarm is +12 don't like the lifting when I hit it from the hole so.. It rides real smooth just can't go jumping huge hills with it haha
Trails she runs great, never had an issue of turning it over or anything. Hills I eat up for breakfast with it and drag racing it... that's another story haha

[aquapunk]

i've never seen a swinger that long, lol

[ATC-Eric]

WOW! :eek: Those are some very nice lookin bikes you got there.

Theres a bunch of Florida guys around here, so you should be able to pick up some riding buddys out of this.

Oh and :welcome:

[SYKO]

yea man!! come ride with us in ocala thanksgivin weekend!!!! and we need some flat track racers to!!!!

[Billy Golightly]

that R looks like a a hill climber, you ever been to Hernando?

Watcha think Ronnie, ever seen that R down around there before?

[jsimonh]

Very nice! and :welcome:

[team-red-rider]

welcome oldsking86!! hey where in florida are you located?

[devildog_0431]

That swinger u got on that R sure is purty :) very clean trikes indeed.

[oldsking86]

sykolincoln, Hecks yea man always looking to meet some new people to ride with.. usually we ride around my house got lot's of land around here but we get bored and adventure out to the forest for sure..

Billy Golightly, actually my buddy just told me about hernado being like serious hill climbs and such I'm definetly looking to head out there maybe this weekend.. pm if your heading out there also. As for attention, she gets plenty when I take it out for it being sooooo clean people say and sick looking with the swinger :D

team-red-rider, I'm located in the ocala area.. adventure to brooksville to ride at crooms sometimes ( havent been in years haha) How about you?

Thanks everyone for the comments.. I take lots of pride in my bike. Today I'm putting it back together ( flywheel came apart so i was pissed) with a new unbent axel :D and will hopefully be running my buddy's new 450R I'll see what I can pull out on him lol

[Billy Golightly]

I haven't ever been to Hernando but I'd love to go sometime. The hill climb king himself "Yamahondaman" likes to go there. You said on exriders you seen another CR500 trike, that wouldn't have happened to be at C&R motor sports over the weekend was it?

[oldsking86]

To come to think of it I'm not to sure really.. I saw the pictures my dad and buddy went to go look at it.. Heards its a monster but not soo clean.. I'll double check because I know the bike was located out here in the ocala area.
My friend knows them he works for All Jack'd Up atv performance and he's got a few pretty nice bikes so.. Yea im hoping to make it out there this weekend.

As for flat track racers what is it you guys are interested in really? PM if ya like about it.

[ATCR250R]

Welcome! That 250R is sick man but the tecate is pretty sweet as well!

[BigGreenMachine]

Some more info on the Tecate? Are those OEM fenders? Welcome!

[SYKO]

[Russell 350X]

[fastleo]

welcome to the boards

[T3 LOPES]

that t3 is nice the r to . what size swingarm is on the tecate.

[oldsking86]

that t3 is nice the r to . what size swingarm is on the tecate.

the tecate is custom done by us.. I think it's like +6 or so it was done a few years back haha Gets the job done on both the bikes

[Billy Golightly]

http://3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?t=57766 Theres some pictures from a while back in Jasper at my first race. Since then my R took a crap on me and I'm trying to piece it back together. I was gonna try and go to the race this weekend in Valdosta with Syko but i have to go to a funeral instead :( The next race I'm going to try and be at is Thunderbowl in Ocala on the 2nd of December. R should be back together and dialed in by then. Then the series ends and restarts again in January. If your in the Ocala area thunderbowl isn't that far, you should come and check it out while we're down there.

[T3 LOPES]

if you have any more picks of the tecate that would be great if you could post them . the front end on the t3 what that off of a triz and nice esr temp gauge

[team-red-rider]

nope ive never been i live in the cape - coma (cape coral) area

[oldsking86]

if you have any more picks of the tecate that would be great if you could post them . the front end on the t3 what that off of a triz and nice esr temp gauge

The front wheel is off a 200x had to make custom bearings to make it fit right on the bike.. that along with the custom swingarm are just a few things that makes our T3 a real eye catcher to most people.

Today I'm finishing the R's construction with the new axel and hopefully be able to get her set up for this weekend.

[Yamahondaman]

that R looks like a a hill climber, you ever been to Hernando?

Watcha think Ronnie, ever seen that R down around there before?
HUMMMMM ??? Get some Paddles because the 2nd. weekend in December we are gonna be right off Kathy Lane on 41 in Hernando !! :naughty:

[oldsking86]

I'm searching on ebay for a set actually.. I might be there this weekend or the forest not sure yet... 2nd weekend of december eh? hmmm I might just have to make it out there.. Hey got any pics of your bike Yamahondaman, like to see a bike that compares to mine in looks actually ;)

[ATC-Eric]

.. Hey got any pics of your bike Yamahondaman, like to see a bike that compares to mine in looks actually ;)


His bike is a monster!!! Meanest looking Z I have seen. Search around here, theres a vid or two of it in action.

Here's One .... 12" Billet Swinger, etc .....

[Yamahondaman]

Sand Drag's @ TF06........

[oldsking86]

Hell yea Yamahondaman now we're talking! I thought I was the only one with a +12 swinger haha Looks great!

I'm looking into some paddles right now so I can run the hills there in hernando.. Looks really quick, my uncle had one and that *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* ripped! What ya got in that motor for it to lift so hard? you can pm if you don't want details floating around to much ;)

[Yamahondaman]

Thats OK .... Everybody Knows what i got ... it's just what and how you put it to the ground !! ;) ......... 39mm PWK, White Bros. "TRX" Foamy Filter,14-40 Gearing,MASSIVE Turbo Crank,Massive Porting,Head Work, Cobra Pipe.."i think"? ...EVERYTHING Stainless and Billet,,, Everything Drilled "for weight",etc..
i did find out that the 12" on the ATC's "spin" ALOT !!! a freind of mine Near Tampa has the "85" ATC With the 12" Stretch...he need's the 9 or 10" !!

[Billy Golightly]

Its stock, thats just a healthy dose of "Tri-Z Power"! :lol:


Ronnie are you guys going to hernando any time other then that weekend? I dont think I can make it then...still got that stump jumper swingarm? Maybe I could put that on my other R and come down there :naughty:

[Yamahondaman]

what stump jumper swinger you talk'n bout ?

[Billy Golightly]

That stock extended one for the ATC you had, like a +15 or somethin using the 85 style carrier and brakeS?

[oldsking86]

My swinger is an 85 with an 86 carrier and breaks.. it was a pain had to bore out the thing to make it all fit.. Yea the 12" doesn't bother me though I don't spin that much at all really, with some paddles I should hopefully see some serious traction in the sand then. I have a 14/39 gearing on mine and it seems to pull real nice. Motor is stock for now in debates on what to do; 310ESR or CR500 haha

Billy Golightly ,
Hey I just saw the owner of Thundebowls bike; It's freaking insane!! My buddy who lives behind me was working on it today, its pretty sick! He knows the guy so maybe I could have him talk about the 3 wheelers flat trackin'

[Yamahondaman]

AHHHH .... i still have it !!! "85" 14" S T R E T C H .... no carrier tho
I NEED TO GET IT TO YOU !!!

[Yamahondaman]

[QUOTE=oldsking86]My swinger is an 85 with an 86 carrier and breaks.. it was a pain had to bore out the thing to make it all fit..

you don't spin much with the 12" ?

[oldsking86]

ehh kinda I got some decent tires on it so it's not to shabby.. I have the bike sitting high in the rear so the weight shifts pretty nice when I lean back on it.

[Yamahondaman]

HUMMMM ? you have a lowering strut thingy on it or is it the stock set up ?

[oldsking86]

Yea it's not stock; it's actually off my dad's tecate and he has mine.. the bike was way to low at first didn't look or run right so we had to come up with something. Now it hooks well.. I wen't hill climbing behind my house the other day and in the sugarsand my tires spin and don't grip unless I get some good speed.. But with it jacked up it clears fine and makes it up no problem. Just NEED SOME PADDLES! haha

[Yamahondaman]

yeah you Do !! they are ONLY 120 Bucs EACH !!!! :lol:

[oldsking86]

I might be getting some from sykolincoln without wheels next weekend.. I got my eye on some from ebay brand new with 10x10's there 20's though.. I can manage with that for now but I want 22's haha
My dad would flip his head seeing your triz cause he built my uncles.. decked the crap out of the motor and stuff.. His tecate is pretty good for the hills, he's got a +8 on his just needs some tires looks like too haha

[Yamahondaman]

DON'T Get 10" Wheels !!! SPIN TOO MUCH !!! 8"- 22's !!! MUCH MORE Flotation is what you WANT !!! my 85 T-3 was 11" Stretch when i had it...same Lenght as the ATC 8"

[oldsking86]

Yea? I just don't like the look of 8's ( haha sounds funny) I haven't had much problems with the 10's though.. I'll play it by ear.. yea my dad's is an 84 and we have an 85 also needs some tlc but with the stock swinger the powerband kicks in and it's sick!! We almost got rid of it but not know worth to much money to us. We have a triZ we're looking to make a hybrid out of too.. Just can't see myself on a 4 wheeler lol

[Yamahondaman]

4-Wheeler's are COOL !!! They Jump Farther and land softer...corner FASTER,ETC...Straight Line Speed...................... NOPE !! :naughty:
3-Wheeler's Win !! :beer

[oldsking86]

That I agree on.. It sucks jumping on the 3wheelers though I did get a tab bit of air the other day with my R.. With the shorty tecate it's kind of fun but a dangerous landing indeed..

Exactlly there aren't corners in straight line so they have no help at all :lol:
I'm hoping to run my friends 07 450R I want to see if I can hold up on it

[Yamahondaman]

450-r's are NO PROBLEM in 300-500 ft. ....But on the Road 2 Miles ...they will get you........... the 2-strokers need the B-10ES for that stuff !! :naughty:

[oldsking86]

That I've heard about them; soley topend really.. Hey once I pull and have a good length it's going to be over; ain't no catching up :lol: he's bone stock I got gearing and a pipe so I think I should have some advantage; and that swinger won't let me lift like he might do

[Jason Hall]

Ronnie, just waste Em out of the gate, let off & let em catch ya, nail It & dust em again. Keep doin that & they still wont catch ya In 2 miles :w00t:

[Yamahondaman]

:naughty: ............... iv'd done that !! Pointing Back at em ....
makes em MAD !! :lol:

One step ahead of ya :) Already got the go-ahead and the SFTL guys have told me and other members as long as we have 3 or more trikes we'll get our own class. Originally Brady from thunder-bowl wasn't gonna let us run but I guess Chris and Dave Ware (brothers that formed the SFTL) pestered him a enough for me and he decided to let trikes run. I'm really hoping when the seasons starts up again in January we can have a whole mess of three-wheelers out there.
