I'm still alive

[RIDE-RED 250r]

How has everyone been?? I've been absent for a good long while, too long. Just been busy living life and raising the family.

Four years ago I changed jobs. A once in a lifetime opportunity and I am blessed to be doing better than I ever have by a long shot, better than I deserve.

I still have that second 350x project waiting to be finished. Also I want to give our little ATC70 some love and a bad attitude. I'm going to be bringing home a sad old Yamaha Blaster to do a resto-mod on with my 16 year old daughter. She is big time into riding, especially trikes, and especially two-stroke. I know the Blaster is a four wheeled abomination but with her frame size and light weight she will have alot of fun on it. Already showed her some Blaster stuff on YouTube and she's pumped for the project. She's taking recreational/small engine in Boces now.

Been playing with my Rs lately, despite the apparent takeover of side by sides around these parts. I replaced the 38mm AirStryker on my ESR 350 with a 41.2mm PWK from Eddie Sanders and I think it was a good move. Also, replaced the PWK on my old 250r with a 38mm AirStryker and wow what a difference! Such a good carb! The 350r gave me some trouble recently, acted like a jetting issue but going from a 205 down to a 170 main made no difference. Ended up finding a broken bullet connector in the harness that was the power feed for the ignition system, I'm baffled it ran at all.

Anyway, all these little build projects are going to be slow going over the coming months as we are preparing to sell our house and buy the place next door to my mom that has a sizeable piece of land with it. So with that in the work, the discretionary spending is being kept to a minimum. Once that is all settled, game on!

Thanks gents. Been missing the scene on here. I deleted my FB account permanently back in Jan of 21 and lost touch with a lot of three wheeler buds. Plus, FB is too full of BS, much rather get back to being more active here.


A project that I would like to think is just over the horizon after I finish what irons I already have in the fire is a modern aluminum framed ATC500r. But that going to be as challenging as it will be spendy. The prices on complete CR500 engines are now insanely high, and aside from that, I heard a rumor that the feds shut down BVC Trikes with a cease and desist order on their conversion kits for bikes. And at this point I think it's true, there are no conversion parts to be found on their website as of last I looked

Theirs was the build I was most interested in. ☹️
