[cambroseispro]

Hi im Chris. Im new to the site and just got my first three wheeler. Iv been working on small engines for a while. im looking for people to go riding with. I have a 1985 suzuki alt 125 and the thing is sweet. i got it as a trade for my sled. everything on it works except brakes headlight and tail light but thats all an easy fix. Well im just gunna say im glad to be on this site

[cambroseispro]

im also trying to start my own small engine repair shop. i have 7+ years of experience from working with my dad. im not sure how many people from new hampshire still ride three wheelers or are even on this site.

[mooseknuckle]

Welcome to the boards, I'm also in the granite state, there is a few new englanders here. Search new enland ride

[cambroseispro]

thank you and its good to here that people around here still ride them. im only 18 but ive veen riding for a while and wrenchin on anything with a motor sence i was 10 with my dad. im not sure what part of the state your from so im just going to guess probably not near me haha. im kinda in the middle of nowhere

[mooseknuckle]

I'm about dead center of portsmth, concrt and manch.

[cambroseispro]

im about 15 mins outside of rochester in wakefield

[JasonB]

Welcome to the site ! Throw some shots of your Suzuki up

[cambroseispro]

i will as soon as i can it rips i thought id miss the sled but i definatly dont. iv only had it for about a week the only thing iv had to do sofar is tighten the chain and redo the pull start

[mooseknuckle]

your about 30 minutes or so from me, I'm ten minutes from the lee circle
here's some pics of my trikes, both in progress, BIG red and 200s. We'll have to do a ride once we both are trail legal.

[cambroseispro]

sounds like a plan what are you doing for work on them. and the first trike i ever rode was a 200s but the coil went my buddy sold it haha. im lookin to get a bigger trike adventualy but for now the 125 is fun and i live literaly rite on a trail

[mooseknuckle]

Big red needs both sprag bearings, shift shaft, shifter and brake shoes. 200s needs carb rebuild, poston rings/cilinder work and brakes.
I haven't torn the top enx down on the 200 yet so I'm not sure the extent of work needed. Migjt beable to farm it out to you if price is reasonable!

[cambroseispro]

how long before either are ready to ride?

[cambroseispro]

and id be wiling to help with anywork

[kebby28]

I live in the monadnock region. I have 3 other friends with 250 big reds but they're not really into computers so we wont see them here. Theres some good riding around here but I would like to find some nice mountian climbs. Not too rocky but nice scenery. Can't wait for the snow to melt. Haven't really been into my snomobile this year even though i paid $80 to register it...

[cambroseispro]

there is one near me it is actualy a class 6 road that turns into a trail. you know what i dont understand. there are snowmobile clubs everywhere around here but no atv clubs. if there was one i would join it or even if some how i could start one or one could be started by a group of us it would make riding so much easier

[mooseknuckle]

Parts are ars coming in for my BR and should be ready for public trails by April. Major build coming up for BR next winter with any luck.
Hoping go to do 2 inch lift front and rear, 300 top end, heavy duty clutches, 12x7 wheels and 26 or 27x 12 rear and 27 or 28x10 front swmplotes.

[cambroseispro]

nice im going to need new tires adventualy haha i still have plenty or tread for now

[mooseknuckle]

Big red should be ready by april if shipping works out.

[kebby28]

Well they got me to join a snomobile club every year saying it would be $5 cheaper. But this year I refused. I'm convinced they are the ones that created the price increase in the first place. in 93 when I registered my first sled it was $24-.........

[cambroseispro]

i was part of a club down this way it was origanaly $94 to register a sled but by joining the club it was $64 and ofcorse the get u with the $30 club mebership fee

[cambroseispro]

but i mean all i would have to do is talk to landowners and get permision to start makeing the trails for a club i mean i think it would be fun to get a group of guys/girls out on trikes to ride

[mooseknuckle]

We've gut atv clubs, but, I'm fairlt anti-social so I don't join clubs! Lol

[mooseknuckle]

Don't bet me wrong, group ridez are all good. I just prefer to avoid all the politics of a "club".

[cambroseispro]

im no talkin a buncha politics just somthin so we can atleast ride the trails i mean down thisway there is one trail that says atv use but a bunch that have no singsbut i mean even if its free to join just have a group of people to maintain the trail and everything because if we cant ride the trails whats the point of even regestering it im not big into the politics i feel everyone deserves a say and everyone can help maintain the trails im just sick of snowmobilers discriminating on people who ride trikes or any atv for that matter because we dont have tracks or skis

[mooseknuckle]

My typing on a phone sucks! Sorry for all my typos!

[mooseknuckle]

I agree Chris

[mooseknuckle]

Kebby, i was meaining to talk with you about a ride also, just wanted to get my BR together first.

[cambroseispro]

im fine with not having polotics or anything but i mean even if we have "work parties" like to maintain the trails i dont see why we shouldnt be aloud to ride them

[mooseknuckle]

Kebby, your only an hour west of me, how are yohr trails?
Cambro, I like the sound of that!

[cambroseispro]

well maybe we can get a group started on here for a bunch of us so we can ride and maintain the trails i cant create a group because i just made my account today

[mooseknuckle]

Keep me posted guys, gotta get to bed for now. Night fellas!

[cambroseispro]

[Snatcher]

My name is Chris also! I just bought my first one too, a 1986 Yamaha 225DRS. Isn't it fun to go back in time!

[mooseknuckle]

Welcome Chris. Yeah, riding a trike brings me back to when i was a kid!

[cambroseispro]

[mooseknuckle]

Better still, try bike bandit

[cambroseispro]

alright on the first sight you gave me theres only one decal for it and the 125 decal came on the frame cover witch unfortinatly isnt made anymore =/

[mooseknuckle]

Find sites like these and get tje part numbes then google the part number or do an ebay search useing the part numbers. Sometime you'll fimd a superseding number. Good luck. I'll keep helping you look as time allows.

[cambroseispro]

thank you i just got home from work haha

[cambroseispro]

http://nh.craigslist.org/rvs/3644457726.html wish i could trade for this but cant ugh

[mooseknuckle]

[cambroseispro]

Went with him and my bro in law and hit the mud hole on my sis's property and then played in the snow in their neigjbors field. Had a great time. Wish we got pics. Neighbor said we could build a dirt track in his feild!
