New member with tri-z's

[JTHOMAS]

New member, just got my z's out of storage after 11yrs!!! changed oil , bled brakes , added gas , and inflated tires. and road them around the block. I have owned and raced three wheelers since the 70's and I couldn't believe there was a Three Wheeler Forum that was still active. I have four tri-z's and spare parts. I grew up riding Glamis, but now live in the Dallas area and are limited to the Red River and Little Sahara state park in Okla. Glad to see there are still some of us die hards around. Thanks for keeping this alive and kickin!!!

Welcome, pull up a chair and we'll tell some lies on how fast we use to be.

Glad to have you amd welcome to 3ww. I too live in the Dallas area. And a new atv park opened up with 1200 acres of trails in Ben Wheeler. Its about 45 mins east of Dallas. Its called The Bottoms atv park. I met the owner a few weeks ago. Me and another friend of mine are planning to take our 3 wheelers out there in the next week or two.

I forgot to mention there is also a bunch of trails around lake ray hubbard in rowlett as well.

[JTHOMAS]

Thanks, looking forward to it. Not many people out there can relate to being intermission entertainment at local rodeos (barrell racing) with tie straps holding down the rear suspension and locals wondering what these new fangled machines were. or being cussed out by mx riders for screwing up the track between their motos, all while trying to find a sponser to pay for gas, much less medical bills...lol

11 years in storage? Glad to hear the parole board saw fit to let you out early;)

Nice top mount tank on the trike in middle, JP Racing?

[350for350]

Welcome. Those are nice looking trikes, even if they're not complete on the pics. Your OP mentioned a three wheeler forum still being around. I'll bet no one here will let this die any time in the soon. We all enjoy ours!

[JTHOMAS]

not sure? Bought it from a salvage place in Ohio sight unseen for $35.00 in 1999 or so. I had it chromed!(

No kidding, hope we remember how to ride! Most of our riding gear is dry rotted...lol the clutch is on left? or is it the right?

Glad to hear that, may be the only thing from keeping these machines becoming exstinct!!!

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but those have really gone down in price over the last 10 years.

(My LOL face is MIA) That thing is SWEET, like the rest of your parts. Thanks for sharing and please do stick around here. you might just be the geographically closest member to me.:beer
