Greetings from the (briefly) 6th Great Lake.
Middle-aged plant worker here, been salvaging motorcycles for years and decided to expand into 3-wheelers. There are a ton of Big Reds and other working ATCs in NNY and VT, so there's no reason not to gather the rough ones so others might live.
I frequently rode a ATC 200 (not sure of year) that a buddy owned when I was a kid, it ran rings around my CR80 and was twice as scary. I picked up a dead, mostly complete 1984 ATC125M from a hobby farm last week. Carb kit is on the way, and I will be building a seat from the remains of the pan. This one will be a runner, and pave the way for more "acquisitions". There's a trio of ATCs languishing on a homestead about 15 miles from my place. I'm going to try and pry the early ATC90 away from him, but I don't think he's ready to give up his 250R lawn ornament.
Looking forward to scouring the archives for info and recommendations as I pick up projects.
Some of you who belong to motorcycle and snowmobile forums, I am the same EIF on all of them.
