New Member from NNY
I'm Jason from northern NY. I grew up riding three wheelers but when I got my driver's licence I went full bore into cars. After marriage but before kids I ordered a brand new Mustang in 2011 and built it up over the following nine years. During that time my father-in-law passed his 85 ATC 250R down to me (my wife is an only child), I rode it occasionally then finally went completely through it during the winter of 2018. My father-in-law got a 50cc Eton for my oldest daughter at about the same time. So in the summer of 2019 with our third daughter on the way (five people can't fit in a four seat car), and the older two loving to ride ATVs, I decided to shift gears hobby-wise and get back into three wheelers. I traded the Mustang for a F150 and started looking for a four stroke ATC to ride along side my daughter on her Eton. I picked up a nice 87 200X a couple weeks ago and am in the middle of adding the couple pieces that were missing and replacing some little things that are bent, broken, etc. I plan to do a complete restoration in the future but not for while, just going to do the needed TLC and ride it.
These forums were a great help when I restored the 250R, so I figured with the hobby switch and a new project I might as well join up.
