Hello Three Wheeler World. My name is Ike and I am new to the Forums and new to Three Wheelers. I was referred here by Nathan in Va who suggested I post some pictures of a three wheeler I purchased on monday. Initially I purchased this three wheeler thinking I would ride it but after talking with Nathan it seems like thats not a good idea. I went to look at a car for sale and this was sitting under a sheet in the fellows garage. He told me he bought it new and never really rode it. I initially thought it was a figure of speech when he said he hadn't ridden it, but it quickly became clear that he actually had not ridden it. Everything about it is perfectly clean and shiny new. I'll post up a few pictures so you can see what I mean. Keep in mind I have not cleaned anything on this machine. Nothing has been restored or painted - everything is completely as delivered in 1983. Books, manual, Title, ATV registration, tools etc. He said he kept the registration current for about 5 years but never took it out. There is no dirt on this machine whatsoever and its never been washed. Nathan thought you guys would appreciate this and might be good reference for those of you working on these machines

That belongs either in a museum or in your living room on display. Beautiful bike.

That's an awesome score! I would be torn as well, between displaying or (gently) riding it. Either way it should bring you quite a bit of pleasure owning that jewel!

That trike just made me realize how screwed up my frame is..........:mad:. Never the less, put it on a spinning pedestal and watch it go round and round. Absolutely beautiful..........

What a nice score, good for you!! Consider it a treasure to own, and appreciate how lucky you are to have found it. Beautiful machine, and it's nice to know a few originals may be out there for others to find. Never hurts to ask someone what's under that sheet, does it. Worst case they are proud to show it off, best case, it turns out to be for sale.

Unreal, major score.

It's amazing the level of trikes popping up lately. ...Mint.

I would sell it on EBAY and then build 3 trick trikes.

Wish it was mine. However i could never resist the the temptation to ride it. When it comes to trikes. I like to fix them and ride them.
