    Poor lil 185s



    Saw this on Craig's. How hard do you have to hit somethin to do that kind of damage?

    My first 3-wheeler ever was a 1982 ATC200. The front fork was about that bad but then it had fork extensions to get the tire off the frame. It still had negative caster and was super hard to steer. If the rear tires were uneven it was almost impossible to keep the bike straight. They had some bolt on pegs on the front fork so you could help steer it like that! I did replace the fork when I found one.

    And where did the rider end up..I sure hope it was a stump or rock. He was moving at a good clip to put that much arch in the forks. If it was a tree he's TOAST even with a helmet!!

    If it runs though I'd steal for next to nothing..I have a complete 185 frame with a good front end!!
