1986 Tri Z 250 Magazine picture request

[Darius1502]

Hey guys...

Does anyone have an scans of the the color pages of any of the 1986 Tri Z 250 tests? These could be from 3 Wheeling, Dirt Wheels or 3&4 Wheel Action.

Dirt Wheels had some great color shots as did 3 Wheeling...but can't find those magazines.

I want to make a big banner of the picture....I'll send someone a free copy of the big banner if you can scan some good color test pics of the Z test and I use them.

Here are some pictures I found of the 86 Z test in 3 wheeling.

Does anyone have any 1986 Tri Z tests they can scan. I had the Dirt Wheels test many years ago...anyone have that one? I'd love to find it again and make a poster. Here it is at the bottom of this picture back in 2004 when i was getting Z together:

Hi Darius
I have attached the pics I believe you are looking for. I hope these attachments work? Can you scan in the complete 86 tri-z test article that you partial posted in the above thread because I would like that article out of 3wheeling mag please. I don't have that test article in my collection.

Thanks,
350XMAN

You have some very pristine OEM bikes on your hands dude!!!! I have a few newer 09 & 10 trx 450r's & yzf 450r's and I still think that 85-87 atc 250r , tri-z & tecate 3 were/are the sleekest, cleanest & fast looking atv still around. Especially when they're in the condition/state that Darius or anyone else who has them restored to OEM spec. It seems like these 3 wheeler/atv's from the mid 80's had way more swagger/moxie and character then the new race quads. I still get goose bumps when I see these OEM stock(mainly stock) high performance 3 wheeler that bring back alot of memories. I was only 5 year old when these 86 atc 's, tri-z's & tecates came out and my brothers & cousins gave me rides on them. It's really to bad that the OEM parts have dried up for these bikes.
Amazing bikes and pics Darius. IF you ever think of selling just shoot me a PM( I know I am only dreaming & you won't sell them but if ever do let me know).

Thanks for posting the awesome pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
