Turns out its the same guy that bought some stuff off Brapp and where Brapp got his Dual Sport. If Josh didnt tell me I wouldnt have even noticed the thing. And people say he isnt good for anything :lol:

BTW My Fat ass will never sit on this thing, its my Christmas present.... to myself :D. Its going in the back of our pull barn with my dad's restored tractors on our carpeted floor :drool:

wrapped in bubble wrap in a heated mositure controlled rubber room with a good dust collection machine I'd say. Very nice find.

well dang dude, that thing is mint. All my trikes are jealous:cry: :lol:
Cool that it will be preserved and not beaten up, yet I have the strangest urge to want to cover that thing in mud. nice big red!

While I'm glad it belongs to someone who will cherish it, it doesn't have to be ridden to death to be ridden. It was made to ride. Putt it around the yard a bit even.
A ton of gold, buried and never spent, is worth as much as the dirt that covers it.

What the heck is a "pull" barn??? Is it similar to a "pole" barn??:wondering

Nate - that thing is N I C E!!!!!! Looks like you'll need one side cover decal to complete it.

So you gonna keep it real clean until TF when you pull it out for the utility competition - eh?

Nice score buddy! Everyone needs one garage queen - I don't care what anyone says - I'd do the same if I were you!

Yes that Big Red is one of the nicest ive seen. I have always said the only non race/sport honda 3 wheelers I would buy are the blue ones but when I saw that one in the classifieds last night I wanted it!!!!! (not to far from me)....you beat me to it ........Congratulations!!!!!:beer :beer

Nice score! A factory mint condition trike needs to be preserved since there arent many left and their not being produced. To all who say ride the hell out of it... If you had a 1 of 1 super rare Lemans race winning 1955 Ferrari in full race trim driven by a deceased legend...would you take it out to Daytona every weekend racing?
Stop consuming everything in sight and start preserving for once. At this rate, the following generations wont have anything other than pictures. /rant

I have been trying to figure this out. WINTER I believe is when i can putt putt without much worry, no dirt, no mud, no cleanup really needed.

Your eyes arent supposed to be THAT good ;). Yeah she needs the other side. He said there is a TINY scratch at the top of the gas tank from where the spare key hit :eek: :banned:


As for the utility Competition, my statement is this: "I better hide it so Brapp dont steal it and take her down" :lol:. It will go to TF though along with some pretty cool off brand trikes :Bounce. We have some stuff up our sleeves this year, and were drag racing Mik6 on his SKAT TraK :w00t:

HEY.. stop by on your way back when you pick it up so I can rip up the farmer's fields a bit before you put it under glass. (or so I can drool all over it a bit!) NICE FREAKIN SCORE DUDE!!! I bet your excited!!!!!

Very Nice, I am glad to see one that nice and will stay that nice. Some need ridden and some need to be kept for an example. Keep that one as an example.
