158482 After about 4 month's I finally finished redoing my Tecate, I would like to thank the board members who supplied me with the needed parts, because it is nearly impossible to find parts for a Teacte here in Canada. I have only rode it up and down the street, but the power of the bike is awesome. I'm hoping to get out for a lake run with it this winter. Again thanks to the USA guy's for being so helpful.:beer

Not really sure how it handles yet, I've only ridden it on pavement. The only thing that makes me nervous is the tire is a 22/8/10, making it quite a bit narrower than the rim, really had to stretch it to get it to fit.

The 240 club?:wondering Is that like one of those televangelist shows where you send in all your money and they mail you a sticker for your car (or trike)?
That is a funky front tire you have there. Trike looks great.:beer

Thanks guy's for the nice comments on the bike. Ya Jason I don't know whether to peel the sticker off, or start looking for a dealer!!! Although I might need something to calm me down after riding this beast.LOL A nice lake run would be good, let me know.

jmax857, hope your up to doing some riding.
just ben, ya it was a real buggar, had to ratchet the tire in the middle as tight as possible, spray it with either, and light it up. It was a little nerve racking doing it for the first time.
