    Pics of the new gal's trike

    Thanks y'all for the advice on the "unsafe" thread. I took some pics. It's in pretty rough shape body-wise but it runs great . I got it and a trailer (and a bunch of misc parts for a 110) for a hundred bucks, took it to a mechanic and spent another $450 to get it running. I have been riding it almost every day... originally I just wanted something to putt around on but I am having more fun riding it than I thought, so I'm going to fix it up. It's kinda fun scrounging for parts! Hope you enjoy the pics. What would you do if it was yours to fix up?

    getting yourself a nice set of new brake pads and perhaps the front brake cable would be tops on my list. especially if your new at ridding it. then i would start with cosmetics if alreayd runs good. new plastics, paint the tank, maybe some reproduction decals off ebay, newer tires and perhaps rims. recover the seat, and just clean it up some. it definately has it possibilities.

    Front brake cable is ordered. Back brakes are new. Motor runs strong and it has a rebuilt carb. My first priority was the guts of the trike, now I can play with the cosmetics. I would like to make it all original if I can find the parts. I have a feeling that's not gonna come cheap but heck, it's only money and I can make more.

    Have fun with that, those trikes are a blast! I need to get my 200 back up and running again. All that trike needs to look good is a new set of plastics and a painted tank.
