    I went for an awesome 3 wheeler ride this spring in a town called Scriba, NY. It is near Oswego. They have ridiculous amounts of snow there, and when it melts the trails are very wet and fun! I did lots of wheelies, but no pictures of such action.

    Don't really have pics of wheelies, but a couple years ago I was doing mud wheelies in water over the rear rack on my atc250es. 25in outlaws had so much grip that the guy trying to find a spot to get me stuck wouldn't stop bugging me till I sold him the tires for his atc250es lol.

    Yea the new style of the tires aren't even sold in 25in or smaller rims, everything is like 14in rims and 26in+. I have a set of 28in outlaws too from when they first released and they mount on 12in rims. Those tires are currently sitting on a 250 blaster frame with a 500cc twin road bike engine, like a 73 Yamaha TX500. Not exactly action shots or anything, but probably fairly interest to see how it was built. My dad did the work, when I get time I'll be making a harness for it and have to mod the exhaust to fit on the quad.

    Haven't really done anything crazy with a 3 wheeler build yet, maybe some day I'll try to get a spare 250sx frame and see if I can make a TRX350D engine fit in it which is basically a 250es bottom end and a 350x top end. Stock machine is a heavy tank of a quad and it scoots fairly well for the weight/size. The quad has no good plastic left on it, so pretty ugly and the frame is bent so it wants to always ride on 3 wheels anyway lol.

    Well if the parts are electrical related, that's kind of my thing lol. I have some 200ES parts hanging around, some interchanges to the atc200 but probably not a whole lot.

    Yea I have tons of projects, wire projects, business projects, and personal machines I want to build. I also have 3 kawi big horn 350cc 2 stroke road bikes that had a rotary valve, for the era they were high output engines, and a lower rpm 2 stroke with tons of torque. If I run across a 250r/350x/200x roller frame I'll probably throw the engine in that, if not I have an 87 350 warrior frame and a 87 250x frame.

    I’m in Kirkville NY, just east of Syracuse. I have been riding up on the Tug Hill area a few times the last few years. I’ve ridden with Mik6 in Scriba (Oswego area) as well but it’s been years since... I was visiting my Inlaws which aren’t too far from him just this week thinking I’ve got to get back up that way.
