View Full Version : New here in Indiana 40+ 3 Wheelers

Just started collecting 4-5 weeks ago and buying up all the cheapies in the Midwest. Anything 3 wheel for 100-300 apiece then I'm interested. Some run, some don't. You can imagine what you get for $300. Also have an interest in Yamaha Blasters (have 5 of these). Even though I have 40+ 3 wheelers, I have never rode one. Never. I'm more into restoring some of these as close to oem specs without putting ungodly money into these. Most of my collection are Hondas, nothing exotic, just the 110's/125's/185's/200's, some Yamaha 125's plus one or two 200 and a few Kawasaki's. I'll take some pics and show what I have shortly. This 10 post min and 2 month wait for the classifieds is nuts but its the rule so I will abide.
I'm OCD and should have 100+ of these in a few more months. More later,
Gerald

I read your post to my wife and she wanted to buy me flowers. See, before this, she thought I was bad with acquiring weird, expensive, mechanical projects.

welcome to the board, time will pass by quickly. Funny how the early ATC 90/110's seem to multiply like rabbits, 10 months ago I had zero, now have 2 US90's, a '74 Daytona Orange, 8-10 misc parts bikes and add to that 3 ATC 70's. All started with a search for my original '80 ATC110.

I agree that it's an addiction, but I think this might be a sign of your OCD. Joking aside, why don't you ride some? That's why most of us buy them. It really is enjoyable.

well you definitely buy a lot more than me. can I ask if you are spending so much cash on 110/185/200 ect and cant ride them all or they are in bad condition why don't you spend all this money say on 10 250r's 350x's tecates and more high end machines and at 10 you can keep them all maintained ride them throughout the year ect!!

Captain Weezy: I'd love to buy your collection. Price it so it makes financial sense and I'm interested. Not sure what a semi would charge
to haul all your stuff to my location but should be easy to find out.
I'll try to call you this weekend.

Is that even possible? :wondering :D

I'm not even going to try and understand your reasoning for purchasing so many, but kudu's to you for storing them nicely. You just might become a valuable source for parts down the road to all of us "not quite right" three wheel enthusiasts.Good luck with your quest. You could even add a second story to that shop.

I drive a truck so I could haul it. I would be happy to sell to you because it looks like you would have a great place and are organized. I sent you my number. Talk to you later.

I wouldn't mind coming to visit if you didn't mind. I have about 20 atvs myself with most of them being 3 wheelers. I work in indy.

Nice collection. If I had that much space I would probably have a bunch of cars in it. That's a nice clean storage area too.
