my sled was stolen last winter by a 17 or 18 year old punk. the cops didnt do much its a long story but me and my girlfriend ended up finding the kid with my aftermarket parts on his sled. 6 months later i got his sled 700 bucks and my sled that was chopped into pieces. i won a lot of races with that sled its just not the same racing his chassis.
it is very very frusterating but dont give up look everywhere. i drove around every day for 2 weeks. im in upstate ny and will keep an eye out!!

[stoney420]

hope i dont find my big red looking like that but im sure at the very minimum, its being beat to hell right now as i type this
im gonna go scouting be back later..

[lndy650]

trust me hes got it coming....ima very patient person, on the bright side if it is young kids they will ride it and be seen and they cant keep thier mouths shut so hopefully someone will have a ear in the right place.

[lndy650]

i think this should be made a sticky thread so as many people as possible see it...

Maybe your big red sitting in the field was pointed in the direction they took the other one.Maybe they took it for a joy ride and left it out somewhere.
Hope you get it back!

sucks man, i love my 83, will keep my eyes peeled this neck of the woods.

[bigred44]

That really sucks man. I just seen your ad on craigslist for it. I will keep my eye open around Ithaca area and let my buddy's know about it also. Good luck.

I feel real bad for ya . This happened to me back in the 80s with my 84 200x but I did get it back . After I got it back I always chained it up just so I could sleep a little better . This is an old school Warning decal I use on my trikes . I hope you get it back .

well i found the path they took it, so now i know they didnt drive down the road, theres only one trail going from my house to the main trail (powerline trail) and it was posted off a while back so has not been used at all, well i didnt see any tracks at first but kept riding and came across some knobby tire tracks (which mine were knobbys) so i kept going and got to the muddy area and there they were KNOBBY 3 WHEELER TRACKS!!!(im the only one on this road with a 3 wheeler) so after following them a little ways i came to a big mudhole where they got stuck and couldnt keep going straight, foot tracks all over from them trying to get it out, i can see where they went off the trail right there since they couldnt keep going straight but it is hard to tell where it went from there since its all thick woods down trees etc etc i had to turn around cause my 85 i was riding has a big hole in the front tire that i plugged until i put a new one on it and was getting too flat to keep going but rest assured im going back out there to try and see where the trail goes, anyway i came home and went to look in the yard at my cousins house (a likely suspect) who i havent talked to in 3 or 4 years since he broke in my house, i didnt see anything but i did see one of his neighbors outside so i stopped to see if he has seen a 3 wheeler over there, he must not get along with them either and wants nothing to do with them, said he wasnt trying to be rude but would not get involved, the only thing he would tell me is that "he seen a red 3 wheeler and a red 4 wheeler on a trailer over there a few days ago, and cops are there all the time" and i even had to pry that out of him!!! and yesterday i had my mother call my aunt (his mom) who is just as crooked thats where he got it from and she said she hasnt seen a 3 wheeler but would keep her eyes open, take pics if she seen it etc etc which is very UNlike her since we dont get along...she would never try to help me out so i was kinda iffy when she said that, and now i find out his neighbor seen one over there!!! so im almost positive im on the right track here but finding it is going to be the problem waiting on the trooper to call me back so i can give him the update info, hopefully we can go get there footprints from that mud and what the neighbor said should help but since he wasnt willing to help me im not sure he would make a statement for the trooper or anything anyway im off to see what i can come up with... wish me luck...

[STONEY67]

Damn dude... that sucks man... but you shouldn't have said anything to your Aunt cause she will give him the heads up now... then your bike might really go missing... hope you bust his punk ass mang!!

[stoney420]

i was thinking the same stoney, but she already knew, the trooper went there immediately after leaving here yesterday and told her he was looking for a missing 3wheeler from smithridge road...she let him look in the garage etc but obviously it was no where in plain site...the cop told her he was just checking the neighborhood but she knew better, after he left she called here, knowing it was me, and asked if we sent the cops over there...so thats how that came about..

[ditchmud]

Keep diggin bro, I hope that you find it!

[stoney420]

thanks for the all the kind words guys.... now i just gotta sit here and do nothing about it while i wait 3 hours for the damn cops to call me back so i can give them the updated info.. called about an hour ago and talked to dispatch, she said she would call the trooper who was here yesterday and have him call me, havent heard from him yet, just called again hoping to talk her and see if she contacted him and when he should be calling but was some how put straight through to a different trooper who was on a call, said he'd call back around 5, which is about another hour from now, i dont want to go anywhere and miss their call so now im stuck sitting here, doing nothing about it, waiting. i realize there busy people but DAMMIT i want my wheeler back!! lol, but ofcourse i wasnt rude or pushy with them cause i need their help... so im just waiting....
