Recently, I was given my first trike. A friend had an old 1985 honda atc 110 sittin out behind his house and said I could have it. He was moving and was just gonna leave it for the new owners. Anyways, after a month of playing around with it, I have her firing right up and running like a charm with no issues (I love Honda).

Today I was driving home and I spotted a three wheeler on the sittn in someones front yard. So I made a quick turn around and stopped to see what it was. It was a 1985 big red 250es. I talked to the old man and he decided to part ways with it for 200 bucks. He said that it didnt run and didnt have a spark. So, I told him I would be back later with the cash and I brought it home around 5:00 this afternoon. I get to the house and after some inspection, I realized a ground wire was disconnected. I touched it to the frame and she fired right up on ether! :cool: All the plastic is there too. Only thing I need to do is seal the rusty tank and get a new front tire and she will be back in business. What do yall think?!?! :w00t:

Sorry yall, havent really gotten any good pics yet but I got a couple of my atc 110. Sorry for the bad quality, I took them with my phone. Oh, I also got a new front tire for the big red and cleaned the rusty tank today. After I got it all together, she fired right up. Rode it for the first time today. I am super excited :lol: The one on the left is the finished product to the best of my ability and the right was when I got her. Ill get pics of the Big Red when I can.....or whenever I get off it long enough :)

Thanks man, it was in great shape. The guy took great care of it before it sat in a barn for 6 years. I put some old golf cart tires I had on it. They worked quite nicely if I must say lol
