    Hey let the man do what he can. Not everyone can afford powder, or a body shop paint job. At least its not going to the dump! or rusting in some field or sitting in someone's about to be collapsed barn somewhere. So i say sir, clean it ride it till you Repeat the process again!

    I agree tri ripper its sad to see so many trikes just sitting outside rotting to death.Way the world has gotten so fricking politically correct I doubt we'll ever see another set of wheelers.I wouldnt mind having to sign a waiver and if I flip it and it breaks my neck thats on me,not you or Honda or a bunch of lawyers.

    Powder coating is expensive. I can get a good result with primer, paint and clear out of a can. my budget was blown buying the TRI ZEE!!!!
