Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to the 3 wheeler world, just bought my first a few months ago. I currently own 2 Honda 250es big reds. My 86 was a barn find sitting over 25 years in great condition for $600 and my 85 br I bought for parts for $200 but might end up restoring. I'll have to figure out how to load pics off my phone at a later date.

They both look pretty good. Maybe you should keep the 86 as sort of a museum piece and just ride the 85. If it's not perfect, then you won't feel so bad about getting scratches on it.

The 86 isn't perfect unfortunately, original gas tank was rotted out so I got a plastic tank for it and the left fender has a crack. I enjoy it to much to let it sit. If anything id like to restore the 85 so I can beat on it instead of the 86. The 85 needs a lot of work.

Great pictures, you got pictures mastered.
On a side note all the Petoskey stones are to be found in Charlevoix :)

I got lucky both were less than 30 minutes away. The 85 is in rough shape.
