If thats a Roll frame how come it looks different then any Roll chassis that I've ever seen?? I own a Roll Design Lobo MX Chassis and it looks way different. I have an extra bar connecting the frame in front of the exhaust that runs vertically and the motor actually bolts up to that bar with a mounting bracket. Also your frame has a rounded bottom tube in the front, mine is square. My vin # is located on the left side of the frame if trailprotrailpro sitting on it, on the square bottom tubing. I'll try and post some pics so you can see what I'm talking about. If that is a Roll chassis could you tell me why its so different from all the others???

It's pre-Lobo Roll desert chassis. They are rare, only about 20 were made in the early 90's. None have vins. Mostly owned by desert racers like myself. I've have owned a Lobo MX quad too. The main differences are that the subframe is not removable and frame rakes up in the front where the Lobo is flat, (designed for MX steering). My frame design is more stable at high speed (less twitchy) The tube walls are thicker too to handle long distance racing. I did 6 Baja 1000's on this frame without a single crack. It was retired after winning the Baja in 01. I'm just getting around to restoring it.

Very nice! So I just figured out who you are. http://www.atvsource.com/articles/articles/2007/090707_the_mexico_specialist_carmen_cafro.htm

I've been seeing your posts on here. Your brother has been mentioned in Dirt Wheels quite a bit recently.

Yeah, he has a WORCs quad team but he's very scared of 3 wheels! I'm retired from quad racing but I'm trying to get the sponsors together to pay for racing the Mexican 1000 Rally on my 85 ATC250R. It's in it's second year and they have a vintage 3 wheeler class. (86 & older) http://www.norra.com/

I remember mentioning that race to Brett Driscoll and he seemed pretty interested. You might post up in his and Mike Coe's thread and see if you guys could get something together? Would LOVE to see a team of desert pros on a trike!
