Do you find yourself looking around for trikes? When your traveling someware do you find yourself scanning the horizon? People's yards, sides of the roads? If you finally spot one does it eat away at you? Thinking you have to go back for a closer view? Man, if I could just have a peek under that tarp? I betcha I can fix that thing up. What's wrong with me?

I have been doing that for years. Some of the best deals we have gotten were found this way.

Been doing that ever since I recieved my drivers license,16 years. Sometimes I am nervous about going up and knocking on someones door.The worst they will do is say NO!! but you never know. ALWAYS say you need it for parts that way you can get it cheaper,Thats what I do..

I've got it bad, and there is no real cure .... I've got it so bad that I even look for ATV trails off of the road when I'm driving - everywhere. I get excited when I see tracks in the snow for Pete's sake.

I've got the sickness too. I love it though, just by asking around and letting people I work with know I'm into 3 wheeler's usually end's up with me buying another trike. I am about to close a deal for $450.00 where I get a Yamaha 225, three Honda 110's and a Suzuki 125 trike. I love this sickness, I don't ever want to be well.

Same here. My relatives all get a kick out of me when I come to visit. The first thing I do when I get there is to check out the classifieds. My wife even knows to make extra room in the Excursion just in case.

LOL....I do the same thing! You know you've got it bad when you almost get stuck after you run off the road while looking behind someone's yard with ATV tracks out front. :eek:

When I was about 14 I started bugging my mom to take me to pick up junk bikes with her van. The ones that were too far away to push home! I have had the sickness ever since then. 28 now. House full of bikes trikes etc. Mom's house still full of bikes. Can't seem to get enough of em. No more bikes left around these parts so I've been making road trips lately. I'm definitely ill! Somebody help me!

We got a 40x60 building and it's still too small. The more room we come up with, the more we end up buying. It's an addiction that we can't find a cure for. lol

This almost sounds like an AA meeting...... "Hi I'm Steve and I have a trike addiction." :p I almost got ran over the other day trying to look at a 200s that someone had parked next to their mailbox with a for sale sign on it. :TrikesOwn

You couldnt be more correct, my current collection home is a 2 room shop, first room measureing 18x62 and the other is similar in size (odd numbers huh) and I have been filling it up as fast as I can get my hands on stuff.
