Sad! I don't come onto the site much anymore or post up the stuff I have, not that my love for 3 wheelers has died but the constant bickering and negativity. None was ever directed to me but just in this story alone.
The build of the Tigers by OC was nothing short of amazing! Here was a man that with countless hours (none of you know how many hours he spent) and money invested running down leads on where the 3 wheelers were and then the cost to acquiring them. Once he started the restoration, the cost to have everything redone! The time just to source the parts would have been more than anyone else here would have been willing to spend towards the project. Remembering that the Tiger was a bast@rd 3-wheeler that nobody made aftermarket parts for.
To top that all off he was building all 4 of the Franks 3 wheelers that I sold him, a custom hand crafted 3-wheeler that was impossible to get parts for. And to top it off a Cagiva!
Mickey, if everything wasn't the way it was when you had them, there isn't any reason to diminish a man’s work or point out faults for doing the amazing work he did. To the other members here bashing Mickey... What is a matter with you guys? Mickey has been around for a long time and done amazing work! He is one of the guys that has been in this since the beginning and managed to stay with it. He has continued to build and innovate products that have been available to us since the mid 80's. Try getting Curtis Sparks to talk to you a 200X motor, must less waist his time to build one! Most of these guys will look down at you like they have ascended and won't even think of wasting their time talking to you about a 3-wheeler. Mickey has been great in talking to anyone that will ask him a question, he'll entertain building something just to try it, he's tried to put together bulk buys to get people to make what’s not available... So before bashing somebody, are you trying to call someone out to get attention? Or are you doing the best for the machines and the sport you like by running your mouth and causing people to stay off the site????
