At one point the 3wheeler was doomed to be a thing of the past.
The true enthusiast has kept them alive and there is nothing more amazing than someone taking the time to teach a new generation how to ride and maintain these machines.
My son is fortunate to be one of those kids!
Three years ago I wouldn't let him on one until I rode one myself....that's when it all began. I think he's hooked for life! Lol
Thank you to everyone that keeps them alive! Its certainly not for everyone.

What ya got?
Bf does all the mechanical work at our house, my son is learning, but it seems like more often than not either a good carb cleaning or rebuild is needed on these old treasures.
Good luck and be safe!

I got a big wheel for my grandson and picked up a 70 that he can ride when he gets a little bigger. I take my sons with me to the dunes, one loves it and the other can take it or leave it. My 85 yr old dad thinks they are fun. He rode motorcycles for years but cant hold them up anymore. I built a 500 Kawasaki triple powered ATC back in about 1980 but got rid of it a few years later and got the bug last summer and have 4 of them now, its addicting.

My dad had always wanted a 350x and one of our buddies in Nevada found one that was complete for a cheap amount so we took the drive (all the way from Wisconsin to Nevada) to pick it up and 4 years later we now have 14 ATC'S and 9 ATV's. All Honda of course.

they multiply like rabbits these things. we started out with one and then one became 3, then 3 became 8. If we get any more were going to need a bigger shed. there is hardly room to walk in the shed now as it is.
