Ok guys and gals......how I ever survived the past 33 years of my life without a trike or quad, I'll never know. Anyways. I got my first trike a few weeks ago and so far I've only had it out at camp putting around in second gear hauling wood and taking the kids for a ride.
The trike is an '82 Honda ATC200E. It runs like a champ. All the plastics are in great shape with no cracks or fading. I replaced the tank on it already since the old one was rusted and had already been patched a few times. I plan on eventually giving the tank a paint job. The only real problem I've had with it so far is that the rear brakes don't work. I'll be working on that.
So, I took my son out yesterday for our first real maiden voyage out in the bush. I strapped a thick peice of foam on the rear rack for him to sit on for the time being. I plan on using the foam and making a nice covered seat I can remove when not in use. We covered roughly 5 miles down a bush road close to town taking a few side trails, going over a few smaller sand hills, and climbing a bigger hill. The trike never missed a beat the whole time.
The first picture is my oldest boy driving around out at camp. The second and third were taken yesterday out on our adventure.
My cost so far on this trike........$5 in gas!!!
