New member. Looking to put together a Atc 110 for adult use. Resurrection of some old memories would be nice too.
Glad to be here, and glad to see a group keeping trikes alive.
I am an old Honda sponsored ex-motocross two wheeler.
Grew up, Atc living until 7yrs old. 7 brought the 2 wheels and shortly after began the moto sickness. Progression into the 250 and 500cc bikes were inevitable. After all of this, those little horizontal engine Atc's still draw my mind and heart back to a better day.
Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago... walking and talking with my landlord. He wanders near an old building on his side of the line. Suddenly I could no longer focus. Two 11 inch rear tires peeking out from under a pile stuff. Just above the edge of a rear fender... a rear fender that said: A... T... C... I asked is that a whole trike? He said yes, just a 110. I said what do you want for it? He countered with the tires are no good and plastic is broke up. I kept negotiations moving by asking a slick question, something like: So, how much is it? He counters again with, It needs a lot. So I without thinking in a flash of glory and braile-ance threw another cunningly sly comment disguised as a question: So, how much do you want for it? He then immediately shut down negotiations with a quick shrug and: You can have it then.
So being a gentleman, I thanked him severely and left the trike where it is for now.
I travel for work. I am a few weeks from return to home. I am also midway through a trx250x complete rebuild.
Anyway, looking to swap trike pics throughout time for parts info. These things are harder to find on the east coast. They are usually fossilized.
Another red wing product to roam the earth: The devil can have wings, I shall build my own... -Mr. NeverPlea
