    hello my name is mike and I have a problem. I'm a triker....

    I have a problem. I can't stop!!!
    I have the following trikes

    82- 200E big red (hopped up and runs awesome!)
    84- 200x (motor needs work and needs restoration but runs)
    85-250sx (non-running needs full restore)
    85-250es (non-running needs full restore)
    84- 110 (non-running needs full restore)
    84- 200s (non-running needs full restore)
    84- 200s (parts bike)
    83-185s (in parts being restored for wife)

    see my problem? anyone, anyone?!!!

    ARGH!!!!!! I feel like an ATC junker. What should I do?!!!

    anyone else have this problem? i'm getting tired of parts bikes and non-runners. I want something that run sand rides jsut fine w/o needing much work. I can deal with plastics and seats, but i'm tired of fixing my own rides up for now. I just wanna ride!!!! i'm working a lot and just too busy is the problem.

    HALPS!!!! ideas? (going to restore the 200x and either the 250sx or es)

    I'm needing help with any thing and everything! haha! My 200M smokes real bad but runs ok. And my 185s keeps coming up with new little problems all the time. I'm just so new at this it takes me a while to diagnose a problem then look at the manual and see if i can fix it and hope that is the problem I'm trying to fix. So some experience could go a long way to point me in the right direction and show me why things are going wrong and what to look for. I just want to get one running great for now, and then mess with the other. I'll make it worth your time, I'll give you another project, a 200x, for your help (it needs a lot I think)... 2 trikes and weekend of tinkering in the most beautiful State in the Union! Whats to loose? Think about it....

    It is an awful disease with no known cure. Trust me. The wife is still searching.

    She said 2 trikes ago if i came home with another piece of junk it was over............ Damn, she is still here!!!!
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    WOW!! Your wife must be a Saint! My old lady would bury my a#! in the backyard long before I could acquire that many trikes!

    I feel your pain man! I am a HUGE packrat! I got sh!t everywhere! Cars, engines, transmissions, rear axles, lawnmowers, snowblowers, a quad, a trike, a minibike, etc., etc. It's getting bad. I just can't help it though, I hate to see stuff get thrown out. And now, to make matters worse, I'm getting the itch to buy another trike, since I just bought my first about a month ago. My wife has a special ringtone just for me when I call her cell : the Sanford and Son theme song! I ain't kiddin'!
