Lotta ridin' this weekend John. Thing did well for the beating it's takin' for the last 26 years, luckily we were only a few miles from camp....I love that Tecate, it's such a good trike, just workin' out the bugs is all. A little too much torque climbing a hill and it snapped.

Nope, just spun in the case and came to rest. Never had this happen before, torquie SOB, quick fix by John to get it back on the road, then I'll pull it out as a spare for my 84' and put the pvl in this Tecate when it's re-done this winter.

Yep, I rode my daughters 200 auto-x after that, it's a fun trike too, but that 185 motor takes some shifting to get where we had to go. You can see the rocky ground, it's rough going for these 3-wheeled atv's, but they are just more sure-footed and get around better than anything else....obviously, just look at all the pictures of the places me and the kids can get. Tough on dirtbikes (mud and streams) and quads are to big or top-heavy. I truly know, 3 wheel's, is the ultimate atv, my family has proved it time and time again with all our cycle friends. They really respect and like our trikes, and rightfully so.

O.k. John. Onnie said he'd run it to the post office today. I told him I wanted it shipped 2-3 days so it should be there soon. Thanks friend- Robby
