    And then there were 5.

    So I made the mistake of searching tempest for a Polaris 3 wheeler last night. I guess the good news is that I got pizza king on my trip to Evansville Indiana. I love that place. And now I own 5 Polaris 3-wheelers. This one is rough, the last one was as well. Paid $250 and it runs. Can't complain. It needs some parts but I have most of what it needs.

    It don't really look all that bad, running ridable machine for $250 sounds like a good deal to me. There are a couple of yamahas around me for $350ish, but too far away to bother with.

    I know what you mean. It took me like 7 years before I ever came across one for sale. I guess they made around 1600 and half are probably gone but it seems like I've seen (on the net) about 2000. lol.
    I have only seen 5 in person and I own them all. lol.

    How much gas does that tank hold? It looks pretty heavy duty, I'd like to own one of them someday.

    Yeah I picked up that truck a few months back. Ford Super Duty, V10, 5-speed, 4x4, 4.30 gears, extended cab short bed. Its been used as a truck but I'm doing the same so its perfect. I'm looking for a trailer now, preferably a gooseneck. Need something to haul my Bronco, I hate borrowing Trailers. Got over 12.5 mpg picking up this Polaris, can't complain one bit. Trikefest is definitely on the to do list. We'll see.

    Haha. I don't think anyone said they were good looking! haha.
    I have a 79 Bronco mud toy. Built 400 on 35x15.50 super swampers. I've got several 76-79 Ford 4x4 pick ups as well.

    A few years ago Polaris had 1716 for production numbers on their web site. They have since taken it down.
