Another new old guy

[so-cal]

Been lurking for about a week and a half. I was raised on 3 wheelers, started on a 90, then a new110, then a RD350 powered trike, then a new 81R, then a new 83r. I was drooling over the new water pumpers but I started racing hot rods and every penny went to that. I stopped 3 wheelen around 1986.
4 weeks ago I traded some work for a 02 trx90. I have 6 and 4 year old boys and I figured my wife could get some experience while they grew into it.
This morning I looked in the driveway to see 8 3wheelers, 2 4wheelers with 2 more in storage. I guess I'm back right where I left off, but now I have that water pumper (all stock)

Welcome Back!!!!

Welcome to the site. I hope you have some pictures of your past 3 wheelers, especially the rd350 as I hope to be picking one up tomorrow. Mostly complete. Feel free to post pics of what you have, old racing pics, whatever. Alot of nice and interesting people and machinery on this site and new people and memories are always welcome.

Thanks for the welcome, I'll have to dig up those old photos at my parents house. It had a trinity frame about 10" longer than a stock 90. The engine was actually an R5, (early rd 350 with no reeds),gold radius DG heads, chrome cases, and a chrome handle starter on the kickstart shaft that I always skinned my knuckles on by the end of the day. It had chrome turner pipes and a chrome wheelie bar that wasn't adjustable. yamaha yellow atc90 fiber glass and rd tank. I really thought I was somthin on that one.

This frame is a High Performance atc frame, with a r5 engine, monoshock rear, some type of aftermarket triple trees with dirtbike forks, and a disc brake. No tank or fender, but looks to take an old honda 90 or 110 fender and possibly honda tank. Hope to pick it up tomorrow and get some pics. All I had when I was younger was a 74 atc90 and I thought I was the big cheese, always read and dreamed about the neat trikes out west. Now I've been getting and working on the toys I wanted when I was a kid. I managed to find a pk racing 70 frame, which is a hoot. Any pictures would be enjoyed by one and all, racing, riding or pictures of other peoples trikes. Hope your having fun getting back into the trikes again, I'm having a blast myself.

I am having fun getting back into it, I have to break the habit of buying every good deal I see. The prices are amazingly reasonable compared with quads or even 3 wheelers back in the day.
Your new trike sounds alot more sophisticated than mine was. Mine had no suspension front or rear and you kind of layed down on it, cafe racer style.
How do you start your new one.

Welcome,do you remember the sky blue plastic tri moto's?

[so-cal]

I remember those, but not that well. I have a sky blue 4 zinger and am picking a blue tri-zinger today, (I hope).

I wouldnt go to pismo without reservations. It will be full by friday at noon. Acouple of us went over there last weekend and it was PACKED. No room i stayed the night witout a overnight pass and didnt get caught but thats just a $280 risk you have to take.
