New Member Old trike , Tiger 250

[Gates72ss]

Thanks for the replies and interest guys....It's great to see people who actually know what this machine is!On another site i was asked " what are you going to do with that old piece of crap" then the guy just laughed etc...Ignorance is crazy..Then again i did grow up in the 80's where everyone knew what a trike was and the tiger was a dream machine to me.There is alot of younger generation that just didn't get to see all the cool stuff that floated around back then..Again , it was cool to me, and others i grew up / rode with....

Another cool feature is that this particular one came from bellstone cycle which is the place that Loaned Mickey Dunlap the 200cc he raced on in the article on tiger rotax site ,according to Jim of Bellstone , mickey actually rode this one around the parking lot of bellstone's ripping wheelies and general mayhem before they took the 200cc for the race, then it was put up only a year or 2 later..Pretty cool huh?I wish i could prove that but supposedly there is a picture in one of the back rooms of the shop showing Mickey riding it..Bellstone cycle is literally less then 1 mile from my shop and 5 miles from my house ,so this didn't travel to far from home, i think I'll go up there with the old tiger on back and see what they think about it...
Anybody that wants to talk to me about the tiger is welcome to text me after 5pm at 413-242-2964 , i don't mind chatting a little bit with other riders....
