    Hidden Treasures

    Picked up Mattdragontamer (3ww.org) up from Edmonton International and mad a pit stop at a wrecking yard on our way up to Cold Lake. After asking the guy if he had any trikes he pointed to the back of his yard. Wow what a surprise! Matt is looking at the two Taurus' and I'm interested in the Pacesetter. Not sure what we're getting into?

    They are really cool, i have never seen or heard of anything like these. Good luck getting parts. And are they belt driven? Also new to me. Got any history or specs on these machines?

    A green Taurus, nice! Between the 2 hopefully there's enough parts to make one nice one.

    Looks like some of the tires are still holding air?

    That one that Nick has is off the chain, the engines might only make 8hp but they've got torque like a freaking bull dozer!

    That's the plan Fabio and BRguy. Going to call him again this week since apparently they belong to his brother in law. I just hope he's reasonable. Both are missing the drive clutches for some reason? The brown one still has the chrome air cleaner on it.

    12" of ground clearance? 7 gallon tank? This machine sounds like a beast and can haul a ton. Ahead of its time.

    They probably ended up on a Skiroule or Alouette
