Hi, I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd join. Heres a little about me;
I had my first three wheeler as a young kid. When I was about 6, my parents bought my three older brothers and my self an ATC for Christmas. I think that it was a 70cc but I'm not sure(that was 36 years ago). From there I moved on to 2 wheels starting with a Honda trail 50. Then a Hodaka 100, YZ125s, YZ250s, and my last bike was an IT490. After high school I bought a street bike, a Honda Hawk 400. Much later in life I bought a Honda Shadow 750 ACE that I still have.
Now onto my current ATC. My brother Larry has 2 sons. About 10 or 12 years ago he bought them a four wheeler to share. This worked well for about a year, then while driving a country road he spied a threewheeler along side a house. Remembering how we loved our little bike as kids he stopped to ask about it. The owner said he was "done with it" and sold it to my brother for $100. My brother takes it home and his boys love it but his wife FREAKED. She didn't want her boys riding it. He talked her into keeping it and all was well for about a year. After ridding about a year my older nephew flipped it in thier yard and broke his arm.
well, the threewheelers gotta go.(kept the fourwheeler) So my brother gives it to me.
I rode it about a week and then parked it until this year. It is an ATC125m 1987. I think the forks are bent a little and the recoil is missing but runs pretty good.
