    I drive on 3 wheels.

    Good day.

    I've had a couple trikes for awhile. A 350X and a 200ES.
    Recently, I acquired a BW200. It's almost a trike, just missing a rear wheel. It needs a little resto but it's almost complete. Not sure why I picked it up, just figured it was interesting and would be a fun project.
    The 350X is a blast. I'm thinking of mounting some larger tires to it. Maybe a 27 up front and some 25s in the back. Mud won't be a problem. I find that the deep ruts that lifted 4x4 quads leave are a pain. I'll have to make a 12" rim for the front, unless there's already a supplier?

    Just noticed a "Trikefest" thread. It would be fun if there was one in western Canada.

    Hello fellow westerner, I live over in fort St. John, bc, about 8 hours away or so, if I were you I would keep the 350x the same and pick up a 250es big red for the mud, put 27-30" tires and even a 300 trx engine, do a search it bolts right in and you just have to change the output shaft. That's my plan one day, ive got everything I need just need a place to put it together. Then you could really show those quads whose Boss

    I keep my eyes open for all sorts of stuff. If I find a nice price on one, I might pick it up. At the moment there are also 5 KTMs, a honda, Kawi and 2 huskies in the shop. My wife is understanding but she already hates the trikes I have. Getting another one is not the right thing to do at the moment. Not to mention that my hobby has expanded past 3 garages and is encroaching into our basement.

    Basement building is fun, just remember how big the door is so you can get the projects out. Haha

    Thank God for understanding wife's. I have a 200s engine torn apart in the guest bedroom right now. It helps that my wife loves the smell of grease and oil. I couldn't have asked for a better woman in my life. I have 20 trikes and two dirt bikes and might be getting another soon.

    Mine likes lavender. That doesn't even rhyme with "amsoil" or "2 stroke".

    Totem has great prices on 36" doors. You barely have to turn handle bars sideways.
    I can't put a 42" in. The 4" drain stack is in the way. I checked.

    An oddity is that ATC500R in your sig line. Was that worthwhile to build?
    I built a 440cid jeep wrangler. It's fun as hell but is way too hard on fuel and generally the power isn't used. I should have built it differently. What are your thoughts on the 5hun on 3 wheels?
    I had a couple XR600 motors kicking around for awhile. I had a thought to stick one in the 350X. I'm glad I didn't.
