Hi Guys,
I'm an ATC enthusiast from way back. Had a 200 for years, lots of happy times with the family at our bach at the beach.
Nice sandy fire service roads through pine forests towing trailer equipped with a couple of armchairs ...luxury :)
Now I've downsized to a 110. I'm the second owner, first one was an old cockie who always kept it in the shed so she is really tidy. The carb needs work hence my arrival here :)
I've got 4 acres of hillside that I'm slowly tracking so the 110 will be a wee workhorse to get up the top with a bit of gear.
I need to get a teeshirt that says NO THESE AREN'T DANGEROUS to fend off the inevitable idiot comments when riding her :)
I need to sort out a towbar for her, saw one online once, just seemed to be flat steel bolted together. Seems to be a few trailer options at mower shops these days.
Look forward to reaching 10 posts and 2 months :)
Pete

Welcome and congrats on the revival.

I always have a 90 or 110 around.
Super fun and will pull and do anything you ask.

I posted some pix of a nice rack and hitch on a 110.

Let me know if you can't find them with the search key and I'll repost them.

I simply cannot imagine life without a trike.

Welcome! I have to say that I love NZ! I stayed in Christchurch when I was in the Navy. We flew from there to Antarctica. It's a beautiful place with wonderful people. I hope to travel there again some day.

Hi ditchmud
Not sure you would recognise Chch now, much of the central business district has been demolished, thousands of houses in same state.
First earthquake was bad enough, the second one was a killer :(
Give us a yell if you do head back, buy you a coffee :)
