I go to Pismo twice a year to jetski in the ocean and wanted something to do at night and during the day when the waves get blown out.
Trike is between the skis. Fits perfect in there.

I started with a FatCat but found it to be gutless and too small for me @ 6' 230lbs. Rode it a few more times in the mountains/snow and sold it.

Next was a CR250 with a paddle tire and it climbed everything at the dunes with ease. It got stolen at the end of the weekend when we stopped in Fresno for a break..

After that I bought a 1960's Coot Snoopy fun mobile, but it was big, heavy, and under powered so after some minor restoring I sold it to a collector.

Well 4th time is a charm, in a pinch and looking for a toy before my latest trip to Pismo I was looking at Banshees and came across an ATC 200x. Having learned to ride on a Suzuki 50 3 wheeler when I was toddler I decided I had to have it. After searching through more and more junk ATC's on craigslist I came across a 200x in good shape and some after market parts. Guy even had the receipts for recent top end rebuild and bore.

700$ later I have a 200x with:
New rear tires
Aluminum rims
DG exhaust (annoying loud)
New braks
Rebuilt front and rear suspension
New sprockets and chain

I also added a 15w 7" light bar that I powered with a lithium jump starter battery before the trip.

Plan is to keep it for a while at least until I come across a 250r I like.

Being new to ATC's I am hoping to get some insight on maintenance and things to check/fix before they break. As well as changing around sprocket sizes for more power in the sand. I spent most of the time between 2nd and 3rd and had a hard time getting up some of the bigger hills. However, I had a freaking blast trying on this little trike.
