View Full Version : my new 1974 atc 90 with baloon tires
I always like the way the baloon tire trikes looked so when i saw this on craigslist i couldnt help myself. It seems to run pretty good but the carb leaks and the high/low lever is stuck in high. The tires are pretty good and hold air but the left rear has a wear.mark in the tread where the fender was rubbing. Both lights work and it seems 100% complete. The air box isnt on in the pics but i have it. It even has the tool box. It is really strange riding one of these old girls with the baloon tires, trikes sure came a long way from these.

It's a whole new level of fun, huh?! I love it - if you plan on making a turn, you better be thinking ahead because it's not something that happens instantly. Makes a 185's handling feel like a Ferrari. Trike on!!

Nice find! I just got one myself last month, but it didn't have balloon tires on it anymore.

That one on CL looked pretty good, but at the price it listed I figured it would be gone by the time I got there from Rochester.

It was in my garage before akracing posted it here and i was on my way before you called dirtweed (if you re the guy from rochester he was talking about). Its kinda a funny story about how i found it. I found myself on the throne searching craigslist at 3am monday morning after a weekend of celebrating independence with lots of beer and protein rich meals. He happened to post it late sunday night so i made sure i got out of bed with my wife and waited till 8 to call. It turns out i kinda knew the guy and he had bought a z50 off my brother. He s a collector but sticks to small dirtbikes.
Keister, you put my exact thoughts into words.
