    Tontom,I won't speak for Andy,,but to do what HE is doing.......Takes,,MONTHS of hours on the computer,,hunting,scouting,waiting,following leads,,NOT too mention the cash,,the actual time OF THE BUILD. THE knowledge to spot rare parts when everyone else passes them by,, The understanding, or neglect,of your family.. Ok,,Whoa,,nothing personal,,neglect, probably NOT being the best choice of words.. But It takes T I M E ,, TIME that very few can only imagine. How long have you already spent??!! How do I know this,,because I am absolutely guilty as charged for doing the same thing. He could give you a rough estimate of how many MONTHS,24/7,it has taken him to acquire these goodies!! But that's what makes these so special! Not only cool pieces,,but minty fresh and clean!! .

    Andy, those machines make me wanna punt a poodle through a stained glass window, they're that awesome! One question though, did the PC on the pipes turn brown from hitting operating temp or is it just funky lighting in the pics?

    Thanks guys!
    Ninja, the 250 pipe is a natural patina from new I'd guess. I've not touched that pipe with anything. The 200R pipe I coated in a high temp bronze metallic. Kinda wish I'd returned it to bare and traced the welds for an old school natural look. I could always strip it someday??
    You'd laugh, (or be like "WTF") but I've yet to fire that 200. Just too many projects and family affairs. Honestly, kinda hitting me here....I've never even kicked it and tried.
    I'm hoping to ride it in the our annual local fair parade next weekend in full ATC dress. BTW, is your warranty still good? (LOL) I might put fluids in it and give'er a spin tomorrow. Been long over due. Hope she'll run after this long without too many head aches. At this point it's probably foolish to reveal my silly procrastinations.... Keep your fingers crossed for me!
    I know... Bet you're really shaking your head. Suppose you want it back now, huh? (embarrassed)

    So last weekend I finally got the somewhat finished 200R out to trot. I had a bad coil installed, so a little head scratching was involved. After that was remedied it ran excellent, but leaked oil pretty good from the center case gasket. No worries though, as I plan to document it's innards with a good overhaul and exterior paint at some point. I didn't want to look foolish with a leaker dripping oil like a Harley, so I trimmed a couple baby diapers and neatly tucked them under the engine skid for the short ride. Worked real good. Only problem is I forgot to torque the rear sprocket bolts.... There was only one of four left at the end of the parade route and IT was hanging half way out. I'm sure some trained onlookers saw the bolts as they exiting the sprocket hub in laughter. Still just a fool at heart, I guess! Thankfully, nothing derailed!
    Here's a couple pictures of the slow ride. Waiting on more pics from friends & family. I'll post more if and when I get 'em.

    Thanks 007 ~VVV

    Just reread a few comments and well.... Hate to admit it but your not far off.
    My better half has accused me of "neglect" too. Shame on me....... I'm already over it! (LOL).
    Got a real keeper of a family!

    Very nice. I do have one question. About the boost bottle, 2 and 3 cylinder 2-stroke sleds use them to help smooth out burble at idle. I always kind of assumed it was a multi-cylinder 2-stroke thing. Im curious as to the purpose of the boost bottle on a single. Not trying to be critical, or a wiseguy in any way. Im asking in earnest...

    Again, awesome trike!

    Short answer ,it stores the intake charge for a slight millisecond,and gives the intake a quick,"burp" or charge. much more efficient on some engines than others.
