Ugggh... not yet.

500R-Awaiting order from service honda for clutch cover, new oil cap, small steel tubing order to complete the exhaust pipe. Earliest ETA on those is tuesday of this coming week, probably wednesday. Then I need to mod my frame again for the new inspection plate for the clutch cover to fit on...I didn't leave enough room for it when I made the frame using the old cover, DOH!

86 250R-Needs clutch cable changed, steering pivot bearings changed, front sprocket, and front tire changed. All parts already here Closest to being ready to go.

96 Laeger TRX250R-Needs a new rear sprocket, already here. Thought it was pretty much ready to go but started running really weird and funny this evening, have to look at the plug tomorrow and see whats up.


PLUS: Clean trailer, get parts, tools, camping supplies together, food, drinks, etc blah blah blah TO MUCH!

So guys everyone is getting there *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* together. Wish I could attend a TrikeFest. Maybe one of these days. My question is who has to travel the longest distance to get there.

I'm not in good shape at all. The 350X needs a day of work and the 200X needs every single free minute I have. Unfortunately I'll have no frame until friday and still have to fabricate an exhaust and haven't touched the motor at all. I'll be outside in 20 minutes and there until midnight and repeat that for all 3 days off. It's gonna be real close to get everything done the way I want them, I HATE cutting corners!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it looks right now, ill have 2 trikes there at TF '08.

1981 250R
and
198? 200X

Still havent found the date on the X. And i expect to get a LOT of laughs and comments about its poor shape.

Been changing the brake pads on my truck, what a pain in the ass them suckers musta been torqued at like 140lbs from the factory or something ridiculous, had as big of a cheater pipe as I could fit under the fender wells and still had a hell of a time getting them out. I'm gonna finish up the other side and then do a few things on the 500 and then get the 86 250R ready to go hopefully.

well im between a rock and a hard place. I needed lots of time to work on my stuff but i also was hoping to work over so i had plenty of money. 3pm friday i got informed that im getting laid off for this coming week :banned: which REALLY sucks because the week after im at trikefest so i'll have 2 weeks with no income. i am still going though. thats for sure.

The 350x just needs the skid plate finished. Not too shabby for a home made job by someone who doesn't really know how to fabricate or weld.

The battle trike needs the rear brakes fixed and I need to figure out why it's being a pig to start. Oh, and I need to fab up a battery strap of some sort. I don't think zip ties are gonna cut it for a week.

The Z50 (dirt bike) needs a coil. Maybe I can scam one off somebody at TF.

I'm bringing all 3. Even if I have to finish the brakes on the battle trike there at the camp grounds, at least it will be there.
