The Tiger is captured!

[tmecars]

:-D

I drove from Texas to Florida to pick it up. I havent gotten a chance to really ride it yet but just going up and down the street I can tell its MUCH more responsive than my R or Tecate.

[tmecars]

[tmecars]

ok there they are. Ill spend some time drooling over it and Ill share my initial findings later on.

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

is that the 250?, lets hear some more about it, also, some close up pics would be great

nice find!!! how much did you get it for?

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

hey, i made your pictures bigger, i wanted to see it better........

[Trikeaholic]

wow, its in really nice shape, with a numberplate! sweet. how did you finally find one of those, I know you have been looking forever!

congrats, although I kinda liked being the only owner for a while, anyway. It didnt last long when those 3 popped up on ebay, I lost my celebrity status! :D

[slippy4]

there were 3 on e-bay! what did they go for?

[TRI-Zbrian]

is it me or does it look like that thing only has like 4 inches of shock travel in the front

[ange]

looks sweet. Glad the previous owner didn't neglect it! Good to know it found another good home.


now if Holic would get off his *** and go get that other tiger 15 min. from his house... :D

[AirManCam]

Wow nice tiger. Lets here the whole story! I want one now :twisted:

[mad_max]

OK, for those of us/me that dont know anything about tigers give us some background, who built them, what years what size engines etc.

If you look closely, the tripple clamp is pushed down on the fork tubes to lower the trike (for flat track racing I assume)

[Mike Fort Laud]

Did You get that thing in Port St Lucie, Fl. I think that is the one I was trying to get. DAMN!!!!!

[Mike Fort Laud]

That belonged to JD.Tiger,and Yes it is the same one. I heard you paid $1000 plus a Tri-Z. That seems like a good deal. He was looking to trade something. I missed it.

well tigers where strictly racing quads. they where 80's 125's 200's 250's and the grand daddy of all atc's the 500. all where 2 stroke and all where race bread. they are very rare but findable if you have the time and luck. they used a rotrax engine, all but the 500 where watercooled. theres a little history bout them. for more info visit the main page www.3wheelerworld.com

I just looked at this bike 3 weeks ago. The guy was thinking about trading me for my YZ125 which obviously fell through. At least I got to see it in person and hear it run. The ironic thing about is the guy only lived 20 minutes from me.
Coangrats on your purchase!
