Hello to all here on 3wheelerworld! My name is Cyrus and i live in San Diego,Ca and i love to ride anything and anywhere. My first passion is trail and motocross riding and of course my second but not far behind is 3 wheelers. I have been riding since i was 9 and my first vessel to ride was a 77' ATC 90 "pumped" to a 108cc. That trike was awesome! Custom yellow paint with graphics (70's) style of course with chrome forks and polished douglas wheels with a supertrapp exhaust without any baffle rings. I thought i was the sh*t with that trike. It was the cutting edge back then. Got into riding dirt bikes around the same time. The early to late eighties were the greatest to grow into the sport of both trikes and dirtbikes. I remember every year going to the local bike dealers to get broshures and to sit on my dream bikes. Every year something better than the last,trikes evolving from no suspension to motocross insipred supension, air cooled to watercooled etc,etc. When suspensions had names like Mono-cross (yamaha), pro-link (Honda), Full-Floater (suzuki), and last but not least Uni-Trac (Kawasaki). And the names for powervalves, Atac (honda),Kips (kawasaki) and YPVS (Yamaha) and Suzuki didnt really have any names until the 90's as i have a 1987 RM 250 that is mint has a powervalve but no abreviation for it anywhere. How about boost bottles, any body here remember when you would go to the local dealer and by a fox, or DG boost bottle with matching manifold for your trike or bike? Yamaha came with them back in the day. It sucks to see that there is nothing of the likeness from any manufacturer now in days. Anyways enough babbling, here are my 2 trikes right now. 1985 Tri-Z that is ALL ORIGINAL sans the exhaust and tires, and a 84 air cooled 250r that a picked up for kinda restore job. I will not restore it to original condition and trailer queen or garage queen it because i like riding them as they were intended to be ridden, WFO baby :w00t: They both run really, really well.
