    New here, but it's a sad day

    Hi all, just found this forum and joined today. Kind of a sad day though, a buyer is coming to pick up the only trike I own. It's an '85 Tri-Z, and mostly stock. I've owned it since 1990. I just don't have the time to get around to restoring it, and it's been sitting for eleven years. Hopefully the new owner will enjoy it as much as I did when I used to ride it.

    Welcome aboard!!

    I can see why you don't have time for the Z with the sea of Red you own. They sound like some nice machines you have.

    Keep an eye peeled for a nice ATC250R to add to the collection.

    I actually had an ATC about four years ago, but it wasn't quite as nice as I wanted. I saw the opportunity to make some money on it, so I let it go. Who knows, maybe someday I'll find a 250R or even another Tri-Z (I've got a soft spot in my heart for them) to do a complete resto on. In the mean time here's a pic of my restored TRX. When I do find another trike, I'm going to try to make the finished product look as good as this.

    I think that 250r gives Orangecounty's a run for the money! Nice!
