Why didn't someone tell me this is a sickness

[John-Boy]

so two weeks ago i picked up a honda atc200 and a ytm200e (not a 225dx as i was told) well last night i picked up another ytm200 (the guy said it hasn't ran in a long time) for parts cuz it has a good body and front end, that i need for a hundred bucks.

well after looking her over the motor turned freely so i took the coil off my other one sprayed in some starting fluid and she fired right up

So now instead of a parts bike it just became my kids third fix for the summer (this will give them something to do and will let me teach them how to work on their own bikes instead of my harley :lol:)

And my wife is going to kill me over all of this

Hey, be careful, Trikes are addicting :D :naughty::lol:

[harryredtrike]

nice job on the last pick up,i love it when that happens

[xomatosis]

truely is an addiction! I just picked up a 3wheeler 2 weeks ago and I can't think about anything else! this site isn't any help either lol

[bigred44]

This is just the begining....Congrats on the new toys and good luck with your addiction.

[atc350xer]

This happens to all of us... I got a 350x 2 years ago, and now I have 5 trikes and counting... like Lay's potato chips, you can't have just one!

[JayBone]

I agree. And yes this site doesn't help. ha ha.. Congrat's on your trikes

[hang&rattle]

"just when you think you're out, they suck you back in!" Remember, if you're wife leaves you, you're kids and trikes will always love you.

[bigworm626]

Great jump of the starting line, you should have 4-5 by next year. Congrates!!!

[John-Boy]

Well she came home today while i was out working on them and asked which ones i was fixing, i said all of them and she was cool with it (how come that never works when it comes to my bike)


Question if the tires are dry cracked has anyone just used tubes in them, tires have good tread just cracked and a few are leaking (at least till i get the cash to replace them)

[Xpress]

I would replace them rather than risking them exploding on you.

[cattle-dog]

the secret to the addiction is to have enough trikes that the ladies cant tell when you bring a new one home !!!!!! seems to work for me?

[kt60016]

Hell i fell in love with trikes the first time i drove one

[bigworm626]

Your safe then bro, by a month or so they start to forget & your all good. When you start hitting in the 6-8 trike, you just say the same: "there parts bike that you got for cheap but you were able to salvage it" Your in bro, congrates.

If we would have told you about how the addiction/sickness is not curable, you may still be working on that Harley... I think we did you a favor, by getting you into something better to turn wrenches on!

[Fungo Wizard]

I feel your pain, I checked out one 350x 2 weeks ago, and this weekend I am bringing 2 home. That will make 6 350x's, one 87 200x, and an 86 and 87 trx 70 in my garage. Think my wife will notice? Fortunately one of them is getting traded for an 86 250R. Welcome to the ward John Boy, unfortunately there is not a cure.

[scottp597]

Lol it is def an addiction! Fungo throw one of those 350x's my way!

[Xpress]

Or my way, I'll keep it polished and shiny for free! :D

[Fungo Wizard]

If my wife ever signs up on this site, you two might get your wish. She would like to park in our garage again. Is it a bad sign that I have not told her about the 2 350x's i am picking up this weekend?

[clutchcargo]

No that's completely normal.

[honda200x1987]

What has really been addicting to me is buying new old stock parts like for my for my 1987 ATC200X. I need to take some updated pictures, it was already nice from from the start. I built a 1984 200ES BIG RED with mostly NOS parts, very addictive hobby but I love it!

[Jim mac]

Do yourself a favor and DONT I repeat DONT ever buy a atc70. you think the bigger trikes are bad, those darn 70s will start to breed like cockroaches. Everytime I sell all my 70s off, in a couple of weeks another one shows up in the garage! jim

[Fungo Wizard]

I wish a 70 would show up in my garage. Had a clean 78 the other day for 100 bucks on craigslist and the guy only had an email address and no phone. He sold it before he responded back to me.

[tri again]

I use them like duck decoys.

leave a couple wounded ones out somewhere any you'll see, there will be a couple more in the group if you just leave them alone for a week or 2.
