    New Member Old trike , Tiger 250

    Hey guys new member here just dropping in to say hey.I'm not trying to spam you guys or anything like that , but i just recently picked up an old tiger 250 three wheeler that i am trying to decide if i want to keep and restore or sell it and buy a rider trike..I am a member over at atv-riders . com for years and my screen name there is tg413 , i started a topic about this trike over there but they suggested i come here with it because you guys will appreciate it more...anyhow last month a buddy of mine was bs'ing and said he had an old tiger 250 trike stored in a shipping container since the 80's and wanted to know if was interested in it...Um of course i was interested in it, even if i didn't keep it i thought i would get it out into the light and into the hands of somebody who would appreciate it..so i am honestly torn at this point and not just trying to shop the thing..Its a complete trike, front fender broke, engine still turns over freely and basically still has mud on it from the 80's.....He also had a tiger 500 motor in there that he was planning on putting into the trike some day but never got around to it.......Ill show you some pics and let me know what you think..Keep in mind the first pics are from in the container and it was dark...The outside pics are from today and the trike has not been touched , cleaned or anything just the way it came out.....Ill post some clean pics tomorrow after i clean it...

    here is what i originally caught a glance of in the back of the container..



    here it is today out in the sun on the back of my truck...

    Holy gold mine, Batman!! That must have been like opening a time capsule.
    You should find lots of Tiger info this site. There are a lot of Tiger enthusiasts and collectors here at 3WW.
