185&200

Hello everybody, I have been lurking on the site for quite some time and thought I would introduce myself. I have a few Honda trikes that I have owned since new. An 82 185S, a 85 200M, and a 84 200ES Big Red. I will post some pictures on Saturday when I pull them out and post for everyone to see.
The 185 was bought for my daughter but was literally never used, she was 16 at the time and had just got her drivers so she drove her car instead...it looks like it came from a time capsule. That trike is 100% original including the tires and after 26 years it still starts within 2 pulls no matter the weather. The 200M was used by my son for 2 years untill he got his dirt bike and then it was also parked and never used for nearly 17 years!! Now my wife bombs around on it maaybe 4-5 times a year, it to is all original and everything is mint other that a small crack in the front fender where its attached to the forks. The 200ES Big Red is MINE!! I have nothing but babied it for the last 24 years, I only use it 4-5 times a year as well but it has never sat idle for any given year. I cant wait to show the pics to folks that also love their trikes so much as well.
This site is GREAT! Its sure nice to see a strong following for these awesome machines and hope to make a few friends along the way.
