found these on another forum i was on lastnight, and thought i would post these up on here for all us trikers to enjoy. i seen a fellow 3ww member on the same thread, which i thought was cool, great plug from yah chris for 3ww!! anyways these pics caught my eye, and the guys story was just as interesting.

the first pic if the t3, whats with the front fender on that thing, very weird...
the second pic, the guy says this bike was built by kawasaki especially for jimmy white to race the lake george nationals, which i thought was cool seeing is how lake geaorge is like a 15 minute drive north of me. check out the design, very different, very cool. kinda reminds me of bgm's kx500 t3.... i wanna say this must of been inbetween the 85/86 model years, cuz the guy said it has the kips motor in it and the downtube was modded to fit the pipe....
the third is a tricky dicks cagiva this guy says was his friends that he raced once...
nice bikes i think, would love to see that jimmy white t3 up close and in person.





and oh yeah, wheres james {bgm} been hiding lately?

Cool pics, thanks for sharing. The second bike does look strange, for a moment I thought it was one of those little tecate kx conversions.

I was talking to James a few days ago on our local website. You got him added on msn, he is easy to get there. I got his addy if you need it.

The front fender on that tecate has had the back trimmed off just like Jimmy White's race trike. Supposedly for better airflow to the motor, even though they're liquid cooled.

Definately trimmed stock fender. Nice machines! That first pic is a keeper!

Same rider in the 2nd and 3rd pic? Appears that even the 2nd pic has the front fender trimmed.

Pic #1 & #2 are the same bike. Look at the numberplate on pic #1. No radiator behind it, you can see straight throuigh to the riders leg. Also look through the trimmed fender and you see the radiators. Also note that the pipe is left exit where the 2nd gen. were right side. Whoever it was lucky guy to have raced a custom Tecate and a Cagiva.
