Who has the biggest POS three-wheeler here?

[sandrion]

ive seen who has the nicest stuff before. lets see who has the crappiest stuff!trailpro

[sandrion]

sorry faulty mouse it clicks twice sometimes

[wsigo]

Well I doubt my '83 200 is the crappiest... but hey- it was only 50 bucks. The seat cover is completely gone on top, so I put on the cover from walmart. The front tire only holds air for about 10 minutes. Plugged one rear tire. Missing grip because I was gonna put on a twist throttle then decided not to- but couldn't get the grip off the twist throttle. The girl who sold it to me said she tried to replace the throttle cable and front brake cable, but couldn't get it back together. There was a new t-cable in the storage compartment. I put it on and pulled and pulled and pulled. No go. Slapped myself in the forehead after I realized I was retarded- hey...the kill switch was still off! Put it to run and it fired right up. Idle's and runs just like new! No smoke, no noise, no nothin.

Oh btw- this is my first post here so Hi everyone!

[Macs]

well, my nicknamed rust bucket was a near mint, on the original bore 250r that floated in salt water storm surge from hurricane ike. It is getting a rebuild, but i think the only thing usable is the seat and tires. Here she is. I dont think anybody can beat this. Frame is nearly rusted in two and it took several months to just get the cylinder off. Does not roll nor can you turn it. Neck bearings frozen soild. every moving part is frozen solid including the lower end.

[Macs]

here are some more, bring it on!!!!!

[Macs]

Do you see where the ducktape is? The plastics where mint but it landed upside down in the storm and broke them. I tried to ducttape it so it wouldnt flop around while on the trailer coming back home. I am unsure what the saltwater did but they were shreaded. If you bump against them they will break.

[Name Brand]

No pics, but...

The blue 110 I got had sat for years. Busted rear plastics, missing headlight, bent handlebars, dryrotted and flattened tires. The kind of tires that don't inflate and stay flat on one side. I got it running the same day I got it! I took it out in the street and was popping wheelies and spinning around despite the flattened tires. It was a bumpy ride but awesome!

[greythorn3]

i think mine wins.. it was a toss up between this 90 i got and the 200s i just picked up.

.....is that grab bar a tarp strap?! I am so jealous! It looks cool AND you always have a strap handy to keep the tarp in place when you cover that cherry ride at night!

[chrisand4]

my $50 225, forks shot, muffler welded one(with a bolt welded in to close the gaps...what was the origional owner thinking?) it leaks a quart of oil and a gallon of gas a week, also burns a quart of oil every ride(great bug killer) everything is held on wih zip ties, the tank and rear fenders, the wireing harness is a tangle of tape and wires that don't go anywhere, the clutch is shot, seat is off of something else and is bolted on and I think it gives off a hint the plague when it runs.

only pic for now, gotta take new ones,it's now blue with orange rims:lol:

[TriMotoMan]

haha check mine out :beer

[Gearheadtom]

Here is my '85 200m. The first pic is before I repainted it and recovered the seat, the second pic is after, but I didn't have the tank painted yet because it was rusted out and I wanted to replace it, but I haven't found one yet so I quickly painted the tank so it matched better.

[Macs]

This wins... http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/1155229923.html

Pocketbike gas tank, iron piping elbows for exhaust..


how could that win, it runs and drives. No fair. mine floated in the ocean for seven days. the only thing keeping it together is pb blaster and paint!!!! The axle broke in two the other day!! the frame already broke in two. it will not even roll, or steer, or kick. you cant even pull a handle, push a thumb. Hell the tires even seeped salt water into them. I call for a recount. It has crystalls onthe seat. WOW!!!!


At least with that one, i started out with a running driving machine. that is rebuildable. Hell, mine is rebuildable. As long as i use onre part off of it, its rebuildable. I am voting for the front tire

[ATC-Eric]

If Team red rider was still here.. no pile of junk could compare to any of his many machines... your piles would look like boxed up never assembled mint NOS trikes when he would roll out in one of his trikes.



Dang it I was just getting in here to post the same thing! :lol:


The KLT he had at TF07 was hilarious!! Anybody got pics on hand? shens trailpro

[mymint87]

I actually have a fondness for a junked trike, I pause in a moment of silence as I D/L the pics and save them to my harddrive


most of the pics I have come from my local Craigslist, if you'd like me to take up space and post em I WILL.........(alt least I have now found a use for their dead souls)


but here's a members from 'org (member name Merriman) recenlty it was up on the block for sale...50 bucks

[Thorpe]

What was it? (little blue thing?) My BR was mighty ugly when I got it... Mismatched tires, rusty old wheels big old dented up tank, bars bent in like beach combers, seat wasnt covers, right rear fender was totally missing, front rack pointed at 10 o'clock, no brakes, carb was put back together with a few tubes of rtv... Wish I woulda taken a pic of the ugly thing...

Love the machines you find on Cali craigslist.

[chrisand4]

[atcrider1]

traded a POS 500 husqvarna dirt bike for the POS 82 R, sold that for $300 to buy the X for $300 and just traded that for like $1200 worth of parts for my truck

[longbedGTs]

This was taken around 1996 and was my first ATC. An 82 or 83 200. It leaked oil(about 1/2 quart each ride), burnt oil, had no lights or brakes, no seat, a 22" tire on one side and a 25" on the other, had no recoil(wound a rope around it to start it), one fender had a chunk missing, but it was free.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/longbedGTs/005.jpg

[Xfactor]

my 200es big red junk missing out of rear fender has a saddle bag for a seat cover and the only brake that works is the rear foot pedal recoil start broke electric start gone to i hook up a jumper box to the starter to run but i paid 50bucks

[homebrew13]

heres a 83 185s i picked up for 40 bucks, stole the headlight for my 70 and sold it on craigslist for 100 bucks in 15 min! at least the motor ran

Finally a contest that my baby can win! :)

I traded a golf cart for this very rare 1985 Christmas edition "Big Red & Blue" Honda 250 ES and got $300.00 cash back to boot.

I love my Honda. I also own Yamaha Grizzly 660, Yamaha Bruin 350 and a Suzuki Ozark 250 but, I drive the "Honda Big Red & Blue" 95% of the time.

[oOGoFastOo]

Here is my 200S that I got for free it had no seat just a pillow and duck tape, rusted out tank with JB weld no headlight but I made a custom one, no handelbar mounts but I also made some custom ones and welded them onto the bars and the exhaust was blown out.

[mad]

saw this one today and sadly a true pos.

[tbirdscott]

Sat under a tree for 7 years before I dragged it home, cleaned the carb, and changed the oil. After riding a bit I tossed on a pair of 14" Town & Country's when the tubes were poking through the tires and added a dirt bike rear tire to the front once it too died. It would chew through snow like no other.

I got them from a guy in KY years ago. He had stacks of them that a buddy of mine and I bought. They are rare old school tires made for flat track racing. I have since sold those tires and that trike.
