    What did you do with your trike(s) today?

    Today I put a new champion spark plug in my trike and took it for a ride - trike didn't feel to run as well with the champion, I dunno.

    So I kept riding and my silencer fell apart on the trail. I just threw it in a brush. It's ruined anyways. Got the bike home and decided to make a trip 45 minutes outta town to look for more NGK spark plugs and some amsoil 2 stroke mix. (using CRAP mix right now)

    Actually found the NGK plugs AND some amsoil mix!! At the same time I picked up an NGK plug cap and a sprin puller. (for exhaust springs)

    When I got home I changed the oil in my big red and took it for a quick ride.

    That's what I did with my trikes today - how about you?

    Haha, speaking of gas - I did the EXACT opposite -I ran mine outta gas just as I got in my driveway - the bike started revving to the MOON - so I revved it hard and popped the clutch to stall it. It wouldn't shut off with the kill switch. Gave me quite the fright. hehe.

    I modded the poly bushings for the trx450 swinger and got it mounted in my 85 250R also tightend down the rear brake calip put the rear sproket on, modded the chain guard to fit the motor/front sproket and mounted it, took a link out of my chain and rotated the rear housing so its at the correst tightness.

    Trimmed the rear fender where it meets the heal guards

    tightend up a few bolts on my forks

    added the short spring back to my forks

    gatherd up all the parts I need for it

    made a list of parts I need for it

    sat in a lawnchair for a few minutes and pictured me roosting away on it

    that was my day



    edit: keep walking back to it... lol


    modified the stock skid plate to work with my nerf bars (had to cut out the skid were the front mounts are, tried to see how far off my 250R skid plate is.... to much... OMF PLATE FOR SALE!

    Hmm, what did I do with my trikes today?
    Well after my exciting auction with the 200R went to hell, I walked outside the shop looked at it and shook my head, swung my leg over it, started it up, and blasted down the asphalt at about 80 mph with it. Ahh, I feel much better. My 86R I started dissassembling and getting ready to send parts out to the powder coater.

    I hear that! When I first got my R it was my first trike with a clutch - lol - I was like HOLY HECK! Came from an 86 350 4X4 Fourtrax and a 85 Big Red - so I was just shocked and stoked!! Fell in love in less then 60 seconds.

    Only other bike I owned with a clucth was a 750 Shadow motorcycle when I was 16-18 - a few moons ago. Couldn't imagine not owning atleast one bike with a clutch now.

    Anyways - congrats on your new trike friend!
