Here are all of my wheelers.
I bought the Big Red from a farmer at auction about 6 years ago for $700. If he'd know it would go so cheap, he would have kept it.
The 200S was a Christmas gift from my parents when I was 13. It was brand new and remains the best gift I have ever received. Recently replaced the headlight, carb and gas tank. It still rips like the day I got it!
We bought the 70 from my brother over the winter. My wife takes it to the showers and stuff at TF and when we're camping. It starts first pull every time no matter what the temperature. Thanks to the Moshs for a sweet new seat that looks just like stock.
Our haulers are her '06 4-runner and my '95 Tacoma.
After Carrie finishes college, I get to add a 350X to the garage.

Wheeiepop,
The big red tire setup might be a mistake. I think I am going to get another 25" ITP Mudlite and put them both on the back, then get a "regular" (see either of the other 2) steering tire for the front. I haven't logged too many miles yet with the big qaud rear tire on the front, but it might not be as good as I thought.

You DO want a Big Red. It is bullet proof. This is my everyday ride and it has been indestructible since day 1.
The 200S is now relegated to backup duty. I have it around in case the ES breaks on the trail (which is never).
For an all around trail / 2-up/ hill / utility / camping gear hauling wheeler, you need a Big Red or 250SX.

The family picture has changed a bit this year. Here they are, all shined up and ready for TrikeFest.
The 200S is retired to Tionesta Trikes "museum," but the 350X is a worthy replacement.
Far from cherry, but hey, they all get ridden. I don't have a big enough garage for any queens.

That 350X with the number plate looks good. I think that's the first time I've seen one like that, and I like it.

How times have changed since I started this thread!! A few additions to the family this year.
Carrie (my wife) now has a 110 and I got a new race machine (ready for TF MX).
Now the 350 is strictly a trail bike (as God intended). So technically I still have three 3-wheelers -- the others belong to the Mrs -- and the 200S lives in a trike museum, of sorts.

Just think of it as a Big Red with an extra front tire - Carrie's trail machine.

The 70 won't be attending TF since the addition of the new campsite cruiser.
The 4-wheeler won't be there either (for obvious reasons).

No can do on the 70 at Trikefest fellas.
Technically, it belongs to the wife. She is afraid I will end up riding and/or basement racing after too many beers and bust it up.
I don't blame her - she is probably right. Replacing the OEM fenders would cost more than what we have into it.
Bottom line: It is too cherry for TF - it has been to '06 & '07 - RETIRED.
