This was last summer, but I finally got the pictures.
I saw an add for a 250 Big Red and called my buddy who has wanted a trike of his own. He picked me up at work and we drove out to Willow to check it out. We met the owner, I test drove it, and my buddy test drove it. I started to talk with the owner. He asks if we're into 3-wheelers, I say I've got this SX... and he asks if I'm one a certain 3-wheeler website. I then realize Nick is Nick_R_23 on this site. I tell my buddy he should buy the Big Red and he does. To fit it in the back of the F150 we had to unclamp the canopy to get it in. Nick tells me he wants to get rid of some 185 parts. My brother needs 185 parts. We go to Nick's place, check out his very nice R and his parts stash. I am mesmerized by two ATC70s sitting there. I've always wanted one! Nick tells me I can have the 185 parts, including engine cases, a tank and a frame! I can't resist free! We pretty much fill the bed of the truck.
Nick then blows my mind when he says I can have the older ATC70! Awesome, but the truck bed is full and we've already started to put things in the cab. But there's still some room behind the seat, so we slip the ATC70 behind the front seat of what is in fact my buddy's wife's truck! The seat didn't even have to go all the way forward! We thank Nick several times and drive happily back to Eagle River. I am thrilled with being a 70 owner, my brother is amazed at all the parts he has now.

I think I'm going to make it pink. I already have red and blue trikes. Also, a picture of me poking at my SX with a fresh front end rebuild!
