Greetings from Australia. My name is Dave and I have just joined this forum. As it seems to be protocol I thought I should say hi here. I got my First Trike a 1973 K0 ATC 70 back in 1976 when I was only 4 years old. To this day I still own this little fella and since he is well and truly a part of who I am, I am starting a big resto to correct all the abuse it got over the years.
I also got a 185s as a new trike back in 1983 and after selling it when I was 18, I just brought it back off the gent I sold it to. Amazingly it is still in fantastic condition. I also have 2 other 185s trikes which are also resto jobs. Looks forward to looking though the forum

Ok, so sorry I did not know to post here first, I'm just trying to see who might show at flickerwood this season, just picked up a new to me 85R and thinking about tt or flat tracking

[#ATC]

Hello everyone! I just joined up... What a great place to be!! Now a little bit about me....

Since I was a kid I have owned and ridden ATC's. Started out on an 83 KX60 but made the switch in 85 we (me and my 2 brothers) had a new 85-200x and a new leftover 85-200s. At one point in the early 90's I had an 81-250r for a while then bought a 86-250r with engine in pieces but never did get it up and running. Also bought a beat up 86 200x. After High school not much happened besides getting rid of most of them (I know what a dumb ass) . If I only knew then what i know now, right? Anyway now I'm married 13 years with 3 kids and have slowly gotten back into my passion for the ATC. Two years ago I picked up an 85 ATC70 for the kids to mess around on. More recently I picked up another sweet OEM 86 200x and a 85-250es. This was my first time riding a big red and at the point i am in my life I really love the way it rides plus in all the years I always wanted electric start and or reverse an never had either until now. Im a happy guy!

So here is what I still have:

85 ATC 70 - (owned 2 years) OEM in decent shape i think it needs new piston and rings. I adjusted valves, timing, put new condenser, carb rebuild etc. but it don't run right. I can drive it slow and it idles great but when you get on it it peckers out. Tested compression and its just under spec. so I plan to change piston n rings and see what happens.

86 ATC 200x - (owned 24 years) Still runs but compression also low and needs to be rebuilt. Back in the day I tore it down and painted the frame and tank electric blue and changed the sprockets, and swing arm bearings. It definitely rough though.

86 ATC 200x - (owned less than 1 year) - Excellent shape OEM except for the new tires.

85 ATC 250es - (owned less than a year) - In rough condition but everything is there. Has crack fender one side and cracked trunk bottom. Everything seems to function OK. I plan to take apart the drive train to check condition and replace bearings & seals for starters. Also it has original tires but need to be replaced at some point since you can see the inner tubes through the tire cracks.

Other vehicles
1990 CR250r (owned 23 years) Still going strong! Potentially retro fit engine into ATC frame. Its basically a liquid R engine.
1987 Harley 1340cc FLHS electroglide classic (owned 5 years)

Hello I am also new to the site (at least as a member) growing up all my friends had Honda 3 wheelers. My dad had worked at a company called Alsport which also made 3 wheelers so we drove Alsport 3 wheelers. I always liked the Hondas but dad would never allow me to have one. In last few years I have bought a couple 85 Honda Big Reds just great machines.

Thanks for the newbie zone! Great website! Nice to see so many people that are into 3 wheelers. I just acquired a complete KLT 160 that ran when parked several years ago. Also came with a parts trike! Don't know much about 3 wheelers, but I am looking forward to learning and getting this one back on the trail.

New here from NC. Got my first ATC when I was 16 back in 1986. It was a 1984 ATC200X. Loved it. Since then I have a few others. 86 200x, 85 350x, 85 big red, 83 big red, and I just bought another 85 big red that is in foul condittion. I plan to restore it to useable condition to leave at a farm where It can be used as it was intended.
