Just want to say hello to everyone. I'm Ryan from New Brunswick, Canada and have been lurking in the shadows on this form for quite some time. Thought it was time to finally join and discuss with like minded people.

Welcome to 3ww. What kind of bikes do you have? Most of us are visual people and are always up for pics.

All I have for a 3 Wheeler is my 200X that has been on the side lines for about 15 years. About time to dig her out and get it ready for my son who will be ready in a couple of years. I have an 87" trx250r that is also side lined, 400EX, YZ426F, XR50, XR100, DS90,and a Can Am Maverick.

Cool. There are tones of biking trails around the home stead. We even get to go on an army base in Gagetown.

Dig those guys out and let's get started. If they were running when you put them away it won't take much to get them back up and running. Not sure how old your son is but a 200x is a hell of a first time bike. There is no time like the present to start a father son project. We're here for help if you need it.

Thanks. And the reason they went away is the motors went. The 200X was on it's 5th motor, had a problem with my right thumb! LOL. No big deal to fix them up though, just time. And my son has been riding since he was 4 on his XR50 and now DS90 quad. He's 9 now but in a couple of years he'll be good to go. I'm pretty sure my first project is turning my 426 into a trike, actually pretty pumped about that. Not much time on my hands this year as I work in Alberta on a 2 week in 1 week out rotation. There is a little though. Been reading up on some 200X builds, some nice stuff out there still for the old beauties.

Sweet my son is six and I figured it was about time to get him started. Thinking about picking up a 110 and putting a limiter on it to slow him down. 110's around here are a dime a dozen. I would love the two week on 1 off schedule! Every two weeks is like taking a vacation. I'm looking at making my 185s into a 200x motor with some mods. There's lots out there. Keep us posted.

Will do. And I had a tone a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro time on a 110 back when I first started, cousins bike. Great bikes. And the week "Vacation" home is usually working around the house. Still find a little time to take the wife out once and a while on the Maverick. I haven't stopped for a couple of years now and this is the last year here. I'm going to just do shutdowns next year so I will have winters and summers off. Pretty pumped about that!!!!
