Home from work sick today, so killing time on 3ww.. when arent I...
I figured Id post up some pics of my collection of trikes. I am pretty much completing/finishing up the ultimate "relive childhood" collection for myself. I am really happy cause the ebay thing is getting ridiculous for good parts these days and I am just about done with all the hard to finds on each trike.
This started out with the yellow tri-z that was my daily rider 5 years ago, then escalated 2 tri-zs, then a 250r, blah blah blah. Here I am today with 6 trikes in 5 years. I wouldn't have it any other way.
4 of the trikes were completely renovated with new plastics all around, powdered frames and as much as i could get/find for the cosmetics. The basement bikes are the show rides, with exception of the tecate - thats going down there soon. I build them in my basement because its difficult to get them out the bulkhead with out tearing them down again - keeps me from riding them (plus there is heat) . 87 200x is in progress with mainly engine and brakes to finish up.
the 350x and other 250r are riders to boot - all new maier plastics to look good on the trails and just keep them in nice running shape. I beat the snot out of the 250r weekly, 350x not so much.
Each trike needs a few things but i am in no hurry, i am going to sit back and watch them appreciate in value (or not) and enjoy. I am in it for the long haul, these bikes will be with me as long as i can help it. I noticed alot of members selling out these days - not me.... This is my hobby
Once they are done , i am cleaning up the basement too:crazy: :w00t: I also havent had a clean floor in 5 years either with these oily, greasy relics.
After that its " I wannnnnna ride, I wannnnna ride, I wannnnna ride........" You know what i am talking about PA boys...........................Meds are kicking in..
