I just sold a bunch not too long ago. I still have nos in the box turbo wheels that will be installed on one of my atc's. If you do a search on turbo wheels, you will see some of my wheels. I had 6 and 8 bolt wheels.

Nobody has seen it clearly. It's normally a blur when going by.

There's a hardtail rd350 trike on ebay right now for $49.00! The frame looks pretty close to the same. Instead of asking about how it rides, you can find out for yourself! Seriously, it's on ebay right now.

Freaks, I do love your trike. I remember it when it was but a wee little picture in a big field on ebay!

3wheelrider, Did you know that there was at one time a really big atc store right down where you live? They had their own nationally recognized racing team and all. I've pulled a couple really crazy trikes out of the miami area. I have a buddy in Hollywood that picks them up and ships them to me if I need them. I know for a fact their is some really cool stuff down your way. Have you ever though of running an ad in the local paper looking for old 3 wheelers? Maybe you should. I think the place was called Miami atc and marina or something close to that. I'm at work and don't have any of my old dirtwheels or 3wheeling mags with me, but they were nationally advertised.

thanks- but i got my hands full. need to rebuild the "r".
yeah, i know the place your talkin 'bout. "miami auto marine" aka "hawk racing"
"grant"- the owner /mechanic. his wife "vickie" was interestingly a writer for "3wheelin" mag.- can't think of his riders name. he's actually still open- but dont really anything oldschool.
i cant believe you've scored cool trikes from down here! always on the look out but nothing special around. might have to run an ad like you say-one day. right now funds are not there:( . thanks for the heads up- "vealmonkey"

Yep Grant at M.A.M sponsored a few of us back in the day but basically just gave us the parts at cost did all our machine work exc so we plastered our trikes with his decals and wore his jerseys and it was a win win deal for both sides . I think he still has a group photo of all of us in the show room .
