Yo....I just got in about an hour ago from a week in upstate NY. I was so busy that I didnt even get the chance to look at any trikes :Evil But my brother said I could have his Honda 920 V-twin motorcycle until I get something else later down the road. AND my other brother wants to trade my Foreman for his 372X with both motors, $1,000 and all my paintball stuff back. :Bounce

On the way back home today, the battery in my dad's motorcycle died. So I came up with the idea to take the one out of the Foreman and put it into his bike. It worked great....and got him home just fine :beer

Great riding up there at my grandparents now. Some people are logging the trails so they are wide, and MUDDY! I was up to my axles in mud about 90% of the time. It was great. My uncle took his truck back there and went fourwheeling. I had to pull him out with the Foreman once after high centering himself on a rock the size of a small house.

Some old friends from California were up there for the week too, so we had to spend a couple days with them.

Sorry I couldnt ride with anyone that wanted me to. I was just to damn busy (like always :rolleyes: ) And Nathan...I was just about to turn off and stop in on the way up...but mom was sleeping and I kinda wanted to get there before dawn (we got in at 2:30AM Saturday morning).

Anyways....its good to be back :D

So are you planning on doing this trade or still unsure?

Im guessing that 372x is a big bore atc350x? Sounds like a reasonable trade to me!

I'm still unsure of the trade. I need to talk my mom into it since we are still paying it off. If that dosent work, then my brother wants to just trade for the winter. He can use it for hunting and dragging out deer and such.

The 372X is actually a built 350X motor stuffed into an '86 TRX-R frame with a '89 swingarm. The second motor is a stock 350X. The 372 is in pieces (snapped wrist-pin a couple years ago...all it needs is to be put back together) and I think the 350 is assembled.

And twgranger...I was in a small town about 30 minutes north of Binghampton.

Wow...

We need to hook up and ride sometime. My other grandparents live in Preston, just outside of Norwich. We go to New Berlin quite often to see friends and such.

So you know a bunch of trails up there huh? Mabey we can hook up some holiday or sometime next summer and ride the trails.

Man...with all the New Yorkers on the board...you'd think there would be a NY TF scheduled. I would love to participate in one if we found a good spot to do it at!

I know right! I would travel for a new york ride...theres tons of trails up here for a ride, but I'm not sure if people would want to ride in some places that I do.
