    To keep or not to keep that is the question

    So a few weeks back I picked up a 84' 200es from a farmer out west in the country.

    It's filthy but mostly there. I can't bring myself to sell it and I've had so many time wasters. But it is pretty fun to ride around although it needs all the chassis bearings Replaced.

    It need some love and I would rather a 200s but trikes are pretty scarce over here. I'm really on the fence about keeping this one....

    Keep. Plastics look solid. You have the seat pan. Have the makings of a solid machine with a little work.

    I love my old 3 wheelers. Keep it. You can still get any parts you need. I love riding around my automatic 200.

    Restore them - don't crush them. Looks solid.

    Yeah for sure keep it, for all the more you'd get out of it. It will always be there, money comes and goes so fast
