Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

Rides: TIGER Factory line up, Tricky Dicks Cagiva 200, 4- Franks 3 and 4 Wheelers
Thanks everyone. This one was sourced out of Conneticut. It is stamped 42 under the triples, I assume this is the build number from the factory? Maybe Andy can elaborate on that one. I have already started the part search and have found some good contacts thanks to ebay and robertc from the forum.
Thanks! Next time I am up at the garage and the weather is decent I will pull all the trikes out and take a group photo. I have a few gems that I havent posted yet
Hey Guys. Just wanted to post a quick update with some of the parts I have sourced over the last 10 months. It has been difficult to say the least, but here is what I have found. I still have a long way to go, but am slowly making progress. Patience truly is key with these bikes.
Restorable USED Parts: Front brake system, chain roller, two very nice tanks, extra set of near mint forks (Not Pictured)
NOS Parts: Fuel Cap, Fuel Cap Seal, Petcock, Tank Hardware, Tank Securing Strap, Shock Reservoir Mounts, Airbox Bleed Valve, Front Tank Mounts, Swingarm Pivot Caps, Three Tank Emblems, Magnesium Side Cover
Reproduced Parts: Swingarm Pivot Bolt, Rear Carrier, Rear Master Cylinder Mount (Not Pictured)
In an area where a 250r is a needle in a haystack, this is the holy grail. Best of luck to you on this i cant wait to see it finished.

Thanks for all the good comments guys. I forgot to mention one of the best NOS finds. I picked up 1 NOS Carlisle Amerathon tire for the rear. No idea where I will find a second one, but finding the 1 was pretty dang cool.
Couple more items rounded up. Near perfect radiator and a NOS front caliper guard.

Very cool rare three wheeler.
Such a cool build. I have restored a few rare snowmobiles over the past 15 years and I have to say the chase for the rare stuff is what kept me going. The search is such a high. Good luck and post tons of pictures.
