I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them. I didnt snag one because "I had other priorities in my life" lol. I still kick myself to this day over that!!! I know I'll never get over that one.

That would devastate me for life too. I think that would be the rarest find of all{still in the crate/box}. I mean think about it now, still in the crate!!! WOW

Exactly! It is like an evil spirit that haunts me. It is my curse that I carry for the rest of my life!

Speaking of new trikes...a long long time ago back in probably 02 or 03 Marco aka Greenboy/Hagen posted some pictures of an 86 Tri-Z still in the crate from over in Germany. If I remember the story right a guy he met bought two of them that were brought over there from here. He took the one out and has been riding it ever since then (street legally too I think) and has kept the other one crated up.

I promise you that you will never see this thing on EBAY. But, what do you guys think that it would bring on there???

**old honda dealr** · 03-26-2006, 09:16 AM

Why does it matter? Who cares what other people would pay for it. If you have no desire to sell it why would you even want to know what someone else thinks it is worth.

**Infinity Cycle Supply LLC.** · 03-26-2006, 09:19 AM

Just wondering, your telling me any investments you make you have no disire to know their market value?? Thats pretty silly.

**old honda dealr** · 03-26-2006, 09:27 AM

If it is something that I know I will be keeping then no I have no desire to know what it will bring. I have a 1985 250sx that isnt really worth very much on ebay but just recently a guy saw me riding it around and stopped me and asked me to sell it. Hell he offered me 2500 on the spot for it. But my grandfather got it new in 85 and as soon as it showed up on the showroom floor I was in love with it, It is not worth nearly what the guy offered me but I turned it down because it has a sentimental value and I would kick myself if i were to sell it. So honestly to me the market value has no bearing on something I have and dont want to sell.

**old honda dealr** · 03-26-2006, 09:30 AM

If all you are in it for is too make money off of something then yes you need to pay close attention to the market. And I suspect that I will soon see this on ebay. Maybe not to sell it but just to see what you think you might be able to get for it. I am sure the price would be way on up there and you would probably sell it for a mint but to me it just isnt worth selling something that i want that much.

As I said before you will never see it on ebay or ever ridden. It is going to my office today actually. I would like to know it's value as most anybody would. People who collect coins get them appraised and are not looking to sell them.

Looking to see if I paid to much or just in line etc.

**team-red-rider** · 03-26-2006, 09:37 AM

c if i were to buy that i would give my house for it ! lol j/k but that thing is worth at least 10k in my eyes

**old honda dealr** · 03-26-2006, 09:42 AM

I guess what i am trying to say is that its kind of hard to put a price tag on something that you want. It is a once in a lifetime type of find and so putting a exact dollar amount on it is really not the issue. If you are happy at the price you got it for then that is all that matters. I would be guessing at this, but i am sure that thing has been hanging there for quite some time. And I know full well that there have probably been a ton of people that have tried to buy or asked if it was for sale. And for what ever reason it has not sold. For you to be ale to buy it means that the owner of the dealership thought the he wouldnt be able to get anymore money out of it or that he had found a good home for it. So more then likely you paid top dollar for it. And more then likely there is someone out there somewhere that will give you more then you paid for it. But as I said before it is all about what it is worth to you. Not what someone else takes a guess and tells you what they think it is worth.
