    New here

    hey i couldnt find a newbie introduction spot (may have missed it...if so, please move this thread) so i decided to post in here. Im a 16 year old from canada who just bought a 1984 Honda ATC 200ES Big Red 2 days ago and wants to learn some more about them. an hour after i bought it i ripped the racks off, sandblasted them, and painted them a real nice dull grey. my trike is soon to have a K&N filter, 2500lb winch, and many other fun things. without babbling too much, heres the pictures:



    back. (notice aftermarket tires and painted rack+hitch)





    sitting with the helmet i bought for it.



    showing how good the paint looks (alot better than chipped and rusted gloss black)





    low angle view



    soon to be winch.

    if you have any questions or comments ask me and also if you have any tips those would be greatly appreciated. oh and another question...anyone else from saskatchewan here? probably not.

    welcome to the forums. i am sure you'll find alot of useful stuff on here.
    1985 KXT 250 Tecate - kx cylinder, kx ignition, bassani headpipe, answer silencer, v-force reeds, 38mm airstyker carb, +2 franks swinger, raptor rear shock.

    1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    All sounds good but please don't try to run it into the ground too hard! Looks to be in good shape.

    haha i didnt think anyone would notice but i ordered a new cap+petcock for the gas tank so i had it taken off but i just set it back on for the pictures. did you also notice that theres no carb on it? yeah, its sitting in the parts washer. oh and for yamahauler yeah theres quite a bit of flat around here but i live about 20mins from a huge valley that my buddy's family owns a bunch of land in (theyre big ranchers) and they have tons of trails for their quads in the bush. i also like to ride gravel pits, mud, and creeks. trail riding is alright but i like to mix it up and get good and muddy sometimes. thanks for the warm welcome guys.

    Welcome to the boards. Glad to see you have a trike and you will soon be addicted and wanting to buy more and more trikes. I was happy to see that your location was regina. I live in Moose Jaw. I thought I would be the only Saskatchewan peron on here forever.

    I have a snowmobile, A quad and a trike. I have a 1972 Yamaha 433GP, its not a bad machine, has some power to it but it is old and its skinny so it feels like it is going to roll all the time. I got a quad, 1987 Polaris Cyclone 250, im trying to rebuild it but im having some trouble with it, and my good ol 125m< I ride it every day on the streets
