    my beloved R trashed.

    i just got home. i was playing on some hills showing up some golf carts when the horrible happened. all i can say is thank god for helmets. i came off a jump with one rear wheel alot lower then the rest. i hit and bounced. i got thrown off the trike but it found a tree. the damag i have found so far is broken headlight, front fender, rear fender, pipe dented badly, rear axle bent and bars bent. i used to be able to say i have one of the nicest a/c 250r 's around but not no more. it makes me sick. it also is not getting any spark but i havnt investigated it too much. as far as my injuries i am just scraped up. so i am looking for parts.

    I know how you feel.
    Building something and putting a lot of work into it, then something happens, and it's crap. You want to rebuild it, but you are so depressed, you want to cry.

    Very Sorry to hear that!!!!
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Check out my Tiger 3 wheeler Webpage..my quest for a TIGER MUSEUM started 2004 http://sites.google.com/site/tigerrotax/home

    Rides: TIGER Factory line up, Tricky Dicks Cagiva 200, 4- Franks 3 and 4 Wheelers

    that was kinda the icing on the cake. i am staying up late working on it. it somehow got spark again and cranked up. i was able to heat gun the front fender and kind of form it in. the tank i pushed out some with a handle ( now it holds more then a half of gallon.. the exhaust is ugly but works. back fender i drilled holes on the end of the cracks, dont need a headlight. but the back axle is still bent. i have a + 4 in the garage that i was saving fot the 480r but i think i will buy a stock one off of ebay and start replacing parts as i find mint oem parts. but right now it is drivable at slow speeds. forgive my spelling i have had 8 XX. so iam buzzed.

    Sorry too hear, glad you're ok. On the up side I'd much rather see a trike wrapped around a tree then rusting out in some stubborn old mans barn that refuses to sell.

    Clean her up, say some sweet nothings in her ear, and she'll be good as new in no time.
    If you can't fix it with a , its an electrical problem.

    85 ATC 200s--Ratted out and not running at the moment

    86 ATC 200x--All stock other than the handle bars

    85 ATC 250es Big Red -- Just got new rubbers and she wants to ride!!

    04 Suzuki LTZ250 quadsport - It was a decent price and I'm a raging idiot.
