A PM from a newbie ~ Matt O.

[jeswinehart]

Contact from Matt Oxender
Hi John,
This is Matt Oxender. I am assuming this is the John I know from White Pigeon. I just purchased a nice 1985 Honda 250 SX just like the one I had when I was a teenager. Boy does it take me back!!! I also have a rare Argo Taures. I wanted to invite you over somtime to check out my shop and see the vintage six wheelers, my 2 three wheelers, the Mudd-Ox and catch up on old times. I hope all is going well for you. My cell number is:

Obviously I have edited out the rest of the pm message but just wanted to let you know to be on the look out for some very interesting pictures from a very high caliber friend of mine.
Matt + I have about as funny begin as friends as there ever could be and I do my best too convince him to post up in the newbie section about that.

His profile just is just the tip of the iceberg >>> http://www.3wheelerworld.com/member.php/35581-Matt-O.

I did NOT know he had a Taures ! In phone conversation he asked if I had ever heard of them so I told him about (please correct me if wrong) Russle 350x ??? Taures that I got to sit on at TrikeFest 2011 (oh heck, it may have been last year) ,,,, Matt gave me the full low down on the beginings of that trike since he was at Argos when they was still drawing it on paper,,, so cool.

Many stories to share with you all about Mr. Matt, but I will just start with shots of the Taures tomorrow.

That's awesome! Looking forward to pics of his collection and his contributions on the boards. I was watching some Argo 6 wheeler videos last week on YouTube and wishing i had one lol

Actually the Taurus at TF is Nicholas Walters, a good friend of Russel's.

[jeswinehart]

Thanks Fast Z. I will let Matt know who else has one if he don't read it before hand.
Do you recall Nicks board name ?

Went over to Matts shop this morning and was very impressed with collection, shop facilities and product(s) produced (6 + 8 wheelers ~Mudd-Ox brand).
He had said he forgot all about the little green trike he had, if I recall correctly it is a 1961 or 1962,,, can't recall who he said made it.
The Tauris fired right up ! He has the factory sales ad/literature on it but has to locate and will be sharing that with us when he finds which tote it is in.

Oh yeah,,, the SX (and other random pics)

[Buster Brown]

I love looking at people's collections! Tell Matt thanks for allowing you to share his toy box with us all! Cool stuff!

Pretty sure the little green trike was late 60's or just into 70's. Was just reading an old article on www.popsci.com\archives . All the old Popular Science magazines are archived there... a mag from 1970-71 had a comparisions of all the ATV's in the day... US90 and pretty sure that little green trike was in that article. Oh heck, let me go look it back up.... BRB....
