    Is This A Sickness?

    Do you find yourself looking around for trikes? When your traveling someware do you find yourself scanning the horizon? People's yards, sides of the roads? If you finally spot one does it eat away at you? Thinking you have to go back for a closer view? Man, if I could just have a peek under that tarp? I betcha I can fix that thing up. What's wrong with me?

    I have been doing that for years. Some of the best deals we have gotten were found this way.

    Been doing that ever since I recieved my drivers license,16 years. Sometimes I am nervous about going up and knocking on someones door.The worst they will do is say NO!! but you never know. ALWAYS say you need it for parts that way you can get it cheaper,Thats what I do..

    I've got it bad, and there is no real cure .... I've got it so bad that I even look for ATV trails off of the road when I'm driving - everywhere. I get excited when I see tracks in the snow for Pete's sake.

    I've got the sickness too. I love it though, just by asking around and letting people I work with know I'm into 3 wheeler's usually end's up with me buying another trike. I am about to close a deal for $450.00 where I get a Yamaha 225, three Honda 110's and a Suzuki 125 trike. I love this sickness, I don't ever want to be well.

    Same here. My relatives all get a kick out of me when I come to visit. The first thing I do when I get there is to check out the classifieds. My wife even knows to make extra room in the Excursion just in case.

    Lots O Trikes!!!!!

    LOL....I do the same thing! You know you've got it bad when you almost get stuck after you run off the road while looking behind someone's yard with ATV tracks out front.
