Why do you own more than one trike?

[pantera1975]

I have 2, a 86 250R for me and a 85 250R for my wife. Well at least that's what I keep telling her she loves me so much sh says there both mine! Hopefully this spring I can find a nice 86-87 t-3 I keep telling her I'll get her one of those so she's not copying me.

when i was 11 i raced a yt125 pure stock in '84 - thats right - run what ya brung. Always said to myself "ill have that bike someday". So 20 years later i can afford to have the trikes that i dreamed about. reliving childhood times i guess.......

my family give me total crap about the obsession, but its no different than alot of hobbies..

I have 7 trikes - no more for me. 2 of them i ride and 3 (tri-z, 250R, tecate) are show only in my basement as my "starting line up".

I have an 84 200X that I bought from a friend when we were kids. Over the years it got piped, cam high comp piston, 6 spd w/XR200 parts (still forward kick), XR200 carb, Durablue axle, multiple top ends, one crank, completely redone once (blasted and painted everything, polished triples). I rode it nearly every day, until I was in college. I finished college in 2000. Since then I haven't riden it, some day if I have the time I will restore it to it's former glory. It has great sentimental value, it's probably the last one I would part with.

I also have an 86 200X, because when I was kid riding the 84, I wanted the 86/87. Now that I have one, I realize they are far superior to the 83-85 models, and should have gotten one sooner.

Primarily I ride my 86 350X. I would have probably killed myself if I had one when I was a kid. I am too heavy for the 200Xs to amuse me for long, especially at larger riding areas.

the more trikes the better!

There is nothing better than the feeling of riding a Three Wheeler. I've got a license for everything motorized, and am working on one for flying. By far the best is jumping on my 85 350X and just riding, ripping it up, chillin and puttin around, all of it. My first one was a klt 110, had 4 dirt bikes before it, ct 70 the 50 the 90, and then a suzuko Go Fer 100 2 stroke street bike with knobbies. That little 110 and the friends 110's I rode before it just never left my mind. I remember (when I was alot smaller) actually floating the thing in a big creek! We grew up with yamaha 200's klt 110's, Honda 110's and a couple of yammy 225's. Riding was everything. I just got 2 70's and an 86 125m that need resto, my klt 110 is almost done, the 350X all original except the tank, and I will begin looking for an 86 250es. The quads are great, and I love bouncing around with the kids, but I almost always pick the X over the brute force 750. Growing up, they were a very defining part of my life. I'll buy as many as I can before the wife leaves me. Then I'll spend her share of the grocery bill on more!!!!
