if you are wanting to know what the articles are one is of the 500 Tecate that everyone knows about, another is on 2 drag trikes, one ia 3 cylinder 2 stroke and the other is a v-6 2 stroke. the last one isnt an article, its more like a few pics of different styles of 3 wheelers from various oldschool racing sanctions.

Sorry for the delay! I was waiting on them to arrive when I found out my Email Filter had held the email. Sometimes I HATE this email filter.

Anyway here they are...

So now the only question remains: Is the 500 'Cate faster than a Tiger?

**ATCWRENCH** · 01-13-2006, 01:28 PM

most definately. a 500cc fuel injected alcohol burning monster will obliterate(sp) any standard aircool 500 2 stroke.

Here we all thought the Cannondales were the first ones to pioneer fuel injection...Thats pretty interesting.

Wild, just wild!

Anyone catch the Tri-Z typo.

The owner of the bike at the time of the article is Ron Baker at PEP and he goes back a long ways. He used to do all of Jimmy White's Tecate suspension back in the mid 80's. Ron also rebuilt/refurbished Jimmy Whites personal Factory 86 Tecate a few years ago after it was stolen and recovered with a seized motor.

Also anyone getting the idea to put KX500 motor into an 84/85 Tecate please look closely at the photos in the article. The 84/85 Tecate front frame downtube is straight due to the angled exhaust exit on the 84/85 Tecate motor. The KX500 has a center exit exhaust that would interfere with the frame on the first generation Tecate. You would have to completely rework the front section of the frame into a "Y" downtube like the 86/87 Tecate to make the KX500 fit.

Curtis.

Curtis I remember you saying you talked to Ron Baker one time...did you know about or mention this KX500 conversion then? Wonder if he still has it.
