    Cool, was that the one listed in St. Louis Craigslist, but the location was Stauntun I think? 500 bucks? I was looking at that myself. But picked up a 86 250r for $1100 yesterday in great shape. Been riding a 200x for some time now, so new to two stroke 3 wheeling my self. If your in the STL area and want to ride let me know, I know of a great place in the National Forest to ride trikes at around Potosi.

    If you gonna race that Z, I recomend you Search this site for the NEW 23" MX by CST front tire started by Moshman...I think a few remain for $110....Well unless you like a tractor tire, designed for a 4x4quad.

    STLTrike, yes this is the Tri-Z from Staunton and i got a pretty good deal on it. Deff. not no 500 bucks. lol. I would bet the place your talking about in Potosi is called Palmers? lol. But yeah for sure ill hit you up some time to ride, you can do the same, just let me know. Tri Z 250, i dont plan on racing it but do eventually plan on getting a better front tire. IDK whats with the whole front mud tire thing. lol

    Cool glad you got a good deal! Yes thats the area I'm taling about. I usually go on Fridays, but been paranoid about riding by myself as of late. My chain came off a few weeks ago and it was like 90 out and I was at least 3 miles from my truck.. But i got it back on. I ride with the wife too at times but she is pretty slow. We we just put around on the trails. But those mines and lakes are just perfect for the two strokers!

    Nice score on the 85 1/2 check that bottom end out before you build the top.. check the rod and crank bearings..make shure all the bolts are in the clutch cover! pull the fly wheel cover make shure theres no moisture in it..Grease up them collars when you put the motor in
