    It's just a sign of the economy. The Tecate's can cost more to restore and maybe thats why people dump their projects.

    It's BAD out there guys, REAL BAD and not getting better.

    I am 6 months laid off and no sign of work..........

    It will be awhile before I have to dump projects though
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    I have noticed this as well. The sad thing is I don't have the money to buy them all.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    I blew a right crank seal on my '85 a couple weeks ago and trying to decide to whether to sell it to a guy up the road or hang on to it and fix it (months.....maybe longer?) down the road.

    I haven't had anything more than odd jobs since summer 2007, so it's not my highest priority right now.

    I would sell my soul if I could get a lien release for it, but I just can't seem to pay that loan off.

    I've got good reason to hang on to it and fix it when I can. Three of my sons have 3-wheelers, too. My 7-yo has an '84 ATC 70, my 12-yo an '85 1/2 Tri-Z, and my 14yo an '85 250R........so we're kinda all in this together since I got them into 3-wheeling in the first place.

    I knew mine needed to be rebuilt when I got it New Year's Eve(low compression/original top-end/little wiggle on flywheel end of crank), and I did get over 7 months out of it....so I'll hang in there.

    Just a good excuse for what i really wanted anyway...Sprock 300 kit
