Our 1st year anniersary isn't til Feb 25th...

But, we took an hour and a half (one way) drive up north on Saturday. Bought my wife an 84 Honda ATC 125m to match my 84 125m.
$200 and the damn blasted thing has brand new trailpros on it. Front is a Carlisle Knobby All Terrain. It's missing a couple bolts here and there. Missing the battery box lid. Brake levers are gone. Rear brakes work amazing though. I stole the tool box for my 125m :twisted: The seat is in way better shape than mine. I need to stitch the fenders up a bit. Gas tank is dented some, otherwise the right side decals look mint.

The biggest problems are the subtrans is locked in the Low position. I can't tell if the lever is just twisted up so it won't move or if it's internal. The clutch slips some too but it may just be out of adjustment. If not I will be ordering a set of clutch plates and springs.

I told her she can buy us both new helmets for her gift to me.

If this "gift" gets you some a lot of us are going to want to know if she has a sister...

Her sister is psyxho. And I get plenty without the need for gifts. Lol.

Still, you might want to get some flowers to go with the trike just to be safe. Honda colored roses should do the trick. Congrants on the anniversary Bud:beer

I always thought that was "sexy" the way the seat integrates with the gas tank.
There is a mint blue one for sale up here that is a beaut, that I can't stop thinking about.

They do have nice curves. I think I came across the blue tank on ebay. Very nice indeed.

Congrats on the 1 year Anniversary!! I got married on Aug 5th. I bought my bride to be a surprise "bargin" 84 200ES Big Red as one of her wedding gifts. Once I got it home and parked it next to my 85 250SX, well lets just say I was embarrassed to give it to her. So I did what any good future husband would do. I brainstormed about what kind of ATC would be perfect for her. I reasoned that it needed to have front and rear shocks, electric start, reverse and no clutch AND it needed to be nice. So I decided that MY 250SX was the ATC that would be best for her. Now the dilemma sets in, what do I ride??? So I brainstormed about what ATC would be perfect for me. A week later I bought a very nice 86 350X from the original owner, problem solved. Now Thats Love!!! :)

Awesome bro. Thanks and congrats to you. Wish I had the means for a 350x. They are so rare around here anyways even if I could afford one. You can't even find 250's or 200's in a sport model. All we have around here are utility Trikes it seems. I have seen a couple R's pop up now and then for $2000 or more.
