    I am in the family!

    About 1 and 1/2 years ago my grandmother passed away and we sold her condo. and began going through things. I went into the garage and noticed that we still had the 3-wheelers my father had purchased in the 80's. I took one out and that same day had it running great! (With the help of my friend+father )

    I then remembered my neighbor owned one so I went over and asked if he wanted to ride. We have never stopped since, in fact about an hour ago I just stopped. Have been riding trails for hours every day each summer.

    I love it and up until recently did not know others rode 3-wheelers still.

    In fact I found this forum about 20 mins. ago by typing in "3-Wheelers."
    When I clicked the website link I expected it to be abandoned and the last post 8 years ago. Then I saw "12 Viewing" on a Section and knew there was hope!

    I love riding my Honda 250 SX 3-Wheeler and wouldn't trade it for a 4-Wheeler anyday!

    There are still alot of 3 wheeler enthusiasts out there. I also have a 250SX and love it. That bike doesnt look stock though. With the golden kick starter and stuff on it.. I don't think thats stock. And the engine looks more like a 200, but it might just be the camera angle.
    Welcome to the forums and to the sport!

    I painted the engine gold. It was scratched/messed up so I did. I am getting it done all black again though along with kick start and gas cap.

    it is all stock as well.

    Are you into paintball as well? That "e" looks like the "e" from some e-frames or e-grips or whatever.. lol.. and Redz is also a paintball brand. (I like paintball as well )

    And actually that gold doesn't look too bad.

    How did you paint your gas cap though? I'm afraid that if I spray paint mine, it will somehow clog it so it won't let air in. Idk.. did you have that problem?

    I do indeed play paintball. I am on PBNation.com as well with the same name.

    The gas cap did not clog either, worked great. Although turning it to refill wears it down quite a bit so do a few coats and use good paint.

    Gold looks O.K. I guess, but is wearing off. I did only 1-2 coats so it is junky.

    I rushed and rushing=junky.

    Oh.. I used to get on the Tippmann forum, but not too much anymore. I thought I saw someone around that forum with the name "Speck" before? Was that you?

    And you can just steel wool/polish that thing that says "Honda" (tranny cover I think?? Idk!! lol) and it looks great. I have no clue why Honda painted over that chome.
