Going to pick up my new Big Red today. Its an 82... just like the one I had when I was a kid. The only thing wrong with it is it needs a seat cover and a brake cable on the front brakes. It is still owned by the origional owner and had the gas drained out and has NO RUST in the tank. It has had the carb cleaned and has been ridden in the last few weeks and runs like a top. New battery and new tires. Notice there is no rust on the wheels either. I am so excited, I can't wait until I get off today to go and pick it up.

Garage kept for all these years!!!!!!! Its like a dream.

UPDATE: (like anyone cares) The guy even had the origional owners manual. This thing is like brand new except for the seat. I asked why the seat was worn out if the trike had been stored. He said that the old guy that had it used to sit on it all the time while it was in his shop. So he used it for a chair for years. His chair is now my new ride!!!!! SWEET!

Those are not the exact tires. They came with Dunlop tires if my memory serves me correctly. But the tread pattern was almost exactly the same. These tires are buckshot mudders. They were great though. They didn't clog up like the square tread patterns did.
