    Alright Slashfan! Give up the goods!

    First of all, thank you Slash for all the hard work you've been doing on the front page and Facebook page.

    So what's up with the Macworth RV pic? I see a 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen R and what looks like an 86 350x. 87 350x?!?!? I know John has been putting on a maine trikefest for 2 years now, are you guys in cahoots for a bigger one?

    Maybe you could post the same pic here, I'd rather speculate on here then on Facebook with a bunch of
    Dingleberries.

    C'mon man… spill the beans.

    Also want to say thanks to Slash! The front page updates are refreshing, keep up the good work bro!!

    Macworth is also a member here, not sure if he has ten posts or not. I've spoken with him about a few things in the recent past. Wonderful guy to talk to and a straight shooter, maybe he can offer some insight.... now let's see this pic I don't have Facebook!!

    Agreed, I like Slash's work. I like seeing the different builds being showcased on the home page.

    I met John over the summer at the Maine Trikefest. As we would say in Maine, "he's a wicked good guy!"
    Somebody with his collection and hospitality to open their doors and property to a bunch of strangers, just for the love of the sport, shows his true character.

    Appreciate all the kind words guys, I'm really trying to bring you the most up-to-date stuff going on in the trike world and I really like showcase various builds. I think everyone deserves to be recognized so I go around and find machines that I feel "stand out" above the rest and then I show you all them, in case you have yet to see them. Billy wanted a more frequently updated site and doing this stuff was the best way to approach it. I have content set to roll out between the next few weeks a roughly every other day. I do do this stuff in my spare time, and now that I'm starting college I might have to slow down a little bit as I won't have immediate internet access by the time I start school in January until I get setup down there.

    As far as the Macworth stuff...between Billy, myself, John MacDonald from Macworth and Mike Palmgren from Vintage Motorsports, we have some really cool stuff planned for you guys. Between the many emails and various phone calls, I'm not going to spill the beans yet, but I do have a lot of raw, never before seen pictures of those bikes coming my way soon along with some dirty stuff you guys are going to drool over. You guys will be seeing a lot more of that stuff hopefully next month. After that, we are trying to hook up with some big names in the ATV industry and as well as some other big names to bring full fledged features to the site, as well as making our presence known. You guys really don't know the magnitude of what's going on behind the scenes, but I don't want to reveal too much just incase something falls through. I hope you guys can understand that.

    Believe me, provided this stuff goes through, you all won't be bored this winter.

    If anyone has suggestions about things to add or things to change, I'm all ears. We'd like to get the front page and Facebook page to be more immersive and entertaining.

    It was in Pownal ME. The Brunswick/Freeport area.

    Slash, school work takes priority number 1! I think everyone can agree that your education comes first.

    It's really refreshing to see 3ww pop up in my Facebook news feed more often, with out that and vintage factory I wouldn't be left with much on BookFace.

    Incase you guys don't know here's a little more of the Macworth RV collection.

    As it gets closer I'm going to set stuff up to go live over a period of time and edit in what I can when I can. I'm glad you like the updates.

    I'm 99% sure he doesn't have those machines anymore. Last time I talked to him on the phone he mentioned that he sold most of what he had and I believe those 4 machines (3 Rs and the X) are all he has left. I believe some were sold to private collectors and a few were sold to various museums across the US.

    That's correct Slash. Right after trikefest someone showed up with what looked like a semi- trailer and loaded up a bunch of them. He posted pics on Facebook. It was a really nice collection and I'm glad I got to see it. Every trike in that picture looked damn close to new and it seemed like every one of them had a speedo also! I may be wrong but isn't that the 350x that's never had fluids in it? Doesn't get much newer than that!
    The funny thing about the 1st gen, he didn't have it at the show? He was looking at mine, the only one there, and saying how much he'd like to have one. Looks really clean! As does all his stuff.

    He told me he doesn't buy machines unless they are either NOS, unrestored in new condition or if Mike puts them together.

    Heh. You'll see. Believe me, just wait.

    There's a reason why it wasn't there, but you just wait. All in due time.

    Part 1 of the next few months is set to role out hopefully sometime this week. There's still more really cool stuff on the backburner though, but I don't want to get into that too much just in case things fall through; right now they are more "interesting ideas" than anything else.

    You guys have no idea how bad this is killing me

    If it was the Macworth page, then yes that's part of the teaser for Part 1. Our 3WW page will be getting that same teaser tonight or tomorrow. But the big BIG stuff is still kept under wraps by me and Billy.
