    And is there a dent on the top of the tank or are my eyes deceiving me?
    I think it is a shadow from the gas cap.Or at least a reflection.

    That's a really sweet ride. The last trike I had seen sitting for 10 years, looked like it had been sitting in the ocean. Did your dad coat that thing with cosmolene before he stored it? You must have a very large climate controlled garage. Since this trike is so nice, why don't you get a 70 and redo it? Ride Safe.

    That thing is awesome. Certainly the niceest trike I have ever seen....and right up there with the most mint.

    Take care of that thing and if you sell it...I hope it goes to someone who will appreicate it like the good folks on this board.

    All it takes is one season in the hands of a ******* to turn that rare beauty into another beat down old trike.

    What a great memory and thanks for sharing....

    The 250 was *never* put away dirty. It was always washed before it went back into the barn. When I was living at my parents, I put it away and coated the frame and motor with WD40 whenever it sat for more than a few days. I also put Formula 2001 on the plastics (Armor-all type stuff made by Turtle wax in the bright green bottle). I think this contributed to how it remained in such good condition.

    I also did the same to my 93 300ex, and even though they still make the quad today I got $2500 out of it, when new ones are selling for just a little over $3K.

    So, do that from day 1 and there is no reason why the ATV should not stay showroom fresh.
