    Trike fest newbie

    i am fairly new to the site and new to trike fest

    my TF preperations are goin badly

    do you think people would be interetsed if i brought my extra wheeler parts and used ridding gear with me and had it at my camp site so i could sell it for alittle extra cash?
    cause i am goin to have a hard time payin for gas and food...

    i didnt know if that would be acceptable

    im new so i dont wanna look like a jerk


    THanks Lemmi know what you guys think

    (also does the park have rules about sellin your own junk on the premisis casually)

    tons of people sell stuff, theres no problem there. You'll have a great time, dont be afraid to get out and talk to people. Walk up to some random trike and ask who it belongs to and strike up a conversation with them. Everything will be cool, the first year was akward for me too but it was a blast as soon as I met 2-3 guys and then everything was good.

    Don't worry about feeling akward at all. Turn it into a fun game!! Hows that you might ask? You probably know quite a few people here on the forums by a username. Well when you get to Haspin / TF you can start putting faces with the usernames. It's sorta like connect the dots, but with usernames and Faces.

    I will give you some information to help in the meeting procces:out who is. 1) The Tallest guy ( 99.9% sure of it ) that will be at TF is Hagen / GreenBoy. It's VERY hard to miss him. He is a SUPER GUY ( Super is even a under statement ).

    2) If you see a guy with a Polaris trike and wearing a funky Black hat it's Mik6. Another Super guy, he will probbaly show you around.

    3) If you see a 1/2 car running around there is a good chance it's me. As it stands right now I am grounded from riding 3 wheelers ( bad knee injury ). But the 1/2 car is fair game. So it will probbaly get some serious mileage from me. Look me up and we will go on a Haspin tour, 1/2 car style.

    4) the Guy with the Tiger 3 wheelers will be erectordale ( my brother ). Another good guy.

    If you have stuff to get rid of bring it ( if you have room ), you never know what might sell. I have seen just about everything sell down there.

    And I am willing to bet you will have a great time.

    That was a good question. As a TF Rookie , I was also kinda curious about the swap meet aspect of the event. Good to know that it's open season. I will bring some plastics, also plan to try and sell my YTM (if it does not sell this weekend), as well as 3 ATC 185/200s Factory original tires. And yes, they hold air and have 60 % rubber left.

    I'll dig around and probably find some more stuff too.

    See you all there and looking forward to it.

    Greg

    EDIT********** Just sold the YTM 200 today (5-26-2006). Sorry, boys.

    I was a TF newbie last year, I walked to the pavillion and said, holy crap I know none of these guys. Then I started chatting it up with billy and scott. And then from there I talked to everybody. Bring some spare parts for sure, you never know.

    And if you see a tri-Z ripping by, good chance its me cause I never leave it! lol

    And the 1/2 car is a classic! Just talk it up and youll be fine!

    Im glad Josh brought this up, I was thinking the same things. I have a few hondaline parts I picked up that I know Im never gonna use and a few left over trike things I would like to sell. Speaking of selling stuff, if anyone is into vintage snowmobiles and looking for parts, let me know and I'll bring some sled parts (ski doo, rupp, john deere, cat, yamaha). Anyways, had to say Im really looking forward to meeting everyone, its almost here!!
