My toys the Big and the BAD

[plastikosmd]

New guy here. Looks like a great site. Well here are my toys. 84 Big Red. Runs like a top. Starts instantly. Cosmetics maybe a 6 out of a 10. Second is a 86 250R. Runs and looks like a 10. Taken down to frame, powder coat etc etc. It screams

They both look great - and welcome to the board. Get yourself a front rack for the Big Red though!

[Mr.Atc]

nice trikes hard to find good looking 250Rs these days my big red and R are a 9

[krazykane]

[Hoosier_Daddy]

Welcome to the boards. I'll have to haze you though. Since I'm a die hard Steelers fan, I gotta say, the Patriots suck.:twisted: :D but, your trikes are great!! :beer


A lot of good people around here. You'll love it here.

nice bike micah!
Thx for the warm welcome.
I have a small winch I was thinking of putting it on the big red. Tho front rack would be fine also. I will shoot some closer pics and post them.

This is probably a dumb question.. but which one you like more?

Welcome to the forums!

[plastikosmd]

Ya know, I like the both for different reasons. The big red is just so easy. When I am kicking over the R and wondering if my leg is gonna snap off due to the compression,...then I really love the Red. The red is a good all around machine. I dont feel bad about getting it muddy. The R is just so clean now that I treat it like a trailer queen too much. As far as riding, the R makes me smile more. Just pure power and noise. I just don't have the space to really ride it like it should be. Looks, the R all the way. So in short...

Utility and function the Big Red

Pure needless power and neanderthal pleasure the R

Sweet rides, same as my coral, but I've got an 85 BR...oh and a beat up 110! Agree with goat, nice pipe. Looks like you got a decent size shop there too! :D

[plastikosmd]

well the full shop tour is here

(and a few toys)

I wanted an 85-86 Red but got a deal on the 84 and it was close by. Runs so damn well I would be hard pressed to give it up. 50cc or so less then the later years..2 inches or so in size smaller, bit lighter and same if not better clearance. Great woods bike that I don't have to feel bad about.

[lukester]

cool pics,you got the best of both worlds

[DeePa]

nice trikes for sure...shop too

[brapp]

dude i want one of those little dozers!!!!!!! are they pretty rare or soemthing? it woudl be perfect for what i do for a living! it owudl be great for where the biger equipment cant go.

[Dirtcrasher]

You might be my evil twin :D

Seems like we share a passion for machining and backhoes :lol:

Nice shop, are you doing any powdercoating over there??

EDIT - If your close by someday, I have a couple of old Blacksmith tools that came with my 9" model 34 South bend that your welcome to....

[tanks350x]

Welcome to the forum, nice trikes! I like your 1970 Rokon Trailbreaker, that thing looks like a fun ride

[plastikosmd]

hey now, i'm not that evil..grin
The crawler is great...I like the unique stuff. The dozers are somewhat rare. Esp. ones that you can do real work with. Struck magnatrack is the most easlily found..but this is 10x the machine.
I am experimenting with some powdercoating..I need a bigger oven. It is for small parts only. Thanks for the offer of the blacksmith suff. I havent done much lately. I am not too happy with my forge and probably will sell it and get/make a new one.
