    What are the odds

    Well first off this is my first post here. I just have a few questions and was hoping you guys could answer them. I guess first it would help to tell you about my three weeler. My dad had bought it for me when I was three for christmas. Well it was something we always did was him riding me around on it. Anyway he passed away when I was 5 and we moved shortly after. My mom had sold the bike when we moved. That was over 10 years ago and of all strange coincidences I found out form a guy at work about one identical to mine. Turns out after some research it is the same one I had to give up when I was younger! And even better yet someone was giving it to him, and he decided to give it me. Anyway, enough of that. From what I was told all it needs is a clutch. Going back to when I was 5 I remember it being a yellow yamaha and thats it. I was hoping that you guys could help me identify it once i get it tommorow, like the exact model. Also I was hoping someone would know where to get the parts/info I may need for it. Sorry for such a long post, but I just couldnt beleive Im getting my old bike back.

    Thanks in advance for any help you guys give me.

    Positive. He asked me if i could help him move 2 bikes tommorow and I said sure. His grandmothers neighbors asked her if she knew anyone that would want them because they were moving. He said one was 3 wheeler and one was a dirtbike. I asked joking if she lived in glenolden, thats where the person that bought it lived. He said actually yea. I was like no trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro, is it ..... and described it. He said it fit to a T. Then I asked about the street she lived on, because he didnt know the neighbors names, and it was the same street, and its only 2 blocks long. So there is no way it cant be.

    It was meant for an adult. He bought it for me but he mostly drove me on it. I remember there was a screw he could put in the throttle to regulate how fast I could go, that way i could drive it solo. He rode it as much asI did though.

    definitely a tri-zinger. They were built for kids, even though they had enough motor in them to wheelie my 190 trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro off. I know that those little things go for around 300-500 where i live, so getting yours back for free is a great deal. Good luck with it.

    Thanks. Anybody able to tell me more about them? Just like basic stuff, like how they handle in different conditions, how easy/hard it is to get parts for them, anything at all would be great.

    Thats pritty cool man!!

    A lot of people here can help you out but it would be best to know the exact model first. Do you have a digital camera, If so get a photo hosted of it tommorow and link us to it.

    If it was meant for an adult, and he drove you around on it, its not a TriZinger.

    Wait until you get it and then you can decribe it. First thing is find out whether its two stroke or 4 stroke, and then find out how many cc's which should be on the cylinder.

    Probably a Tri-moto 175
    [20:55] <waterpumper> putting a racing pipe on a Foreman is like putting a high dollar bikini on a 400 pound chick...just because it fits doesn't mean it looks cool
