TrikeFest thrash begins !!!

[Eric250R]

Well, like many of you, I'm trying to bust ass and get my rides ready for TF beacuse I've been lazy for a year I have 3 machines to finish, and just started thursday. Between working 2 jobs, and trying to help raise a almost 3month old daughter, I barely have time to blink. But I"ll get these done if it kills me. First is my TRI-Z, just started throwing crap together, and it's not too bad so far. Still have a lot of odds and ends to finish up but it's close.

[Eric250R]

Next up is the T-3, it's a decent start, but it needs alot more than it looks like.

[Eric250R]

And last is this disaster... This is the R I"m going to run during the MX, and yes, it is worse than it looks.

[ATC-Eric]

Holy crap what happened to that R!!!!?



Good luck man, Im in a similar situation, so I feel your pain.

[T3 LOPES]

Wow Eric you have your hands full!! Not only a 3 month old but 3 22 year old trikes , Dam! Get r Done!

Wow thats going to be a tall order. Good luck with all of them i assume you have most of the parts laying around already?

And i wish you luck with the new baby around, we had our 2nd on the 5th of this month and i haven't been able to work on anything since...

[Dirtcrasher]

Go visit my thread for some inspiration !!

Get at it boys......

[Brockey]

Well if I could fly down and give anyone a hand it would have to be you for sure. Thats alot of work for one man. Good luck with it. Nice to have all 3 tho.

[Eric250R]

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I need them Yes, I have almost all the parts to fix them, except for a few parts for the R. So, I'll probably be hitting the classifieds before long. You guessed it, the R was left beside of a fire by some pill heads just beacuse they were tired of it. ( this thing was almost perfect 6 months prior )
Getting the T-3 frame sandblasted and painted tomorrow then it's going back together. I'll post pics as time allows. Just going to spray bomb the R since I"m just going to abuse it anyway.

[Eric250R]

ok, Tecate frame back from sandblasting and painting. Will post pics as soon as a few more pieces are painted. Right now, I"m in DESPERATE need of an intake boot for a 86 R. I've already posted in the classifieds. If anyone has one I need it badly before TF!!!

[300rman]

Ebay has them all the time.

[Eric250R]

Ok, making progress. The R is apart except getting the axle out. The nut has pretty much welded it's self to the axle so I have to take it to a friends tomorrow and get it off. And I have an intake boot on the way. The motor is almost back together.
The T-3 is pretty much the same, just waiting on a few more pieces to be painted. The Tri-Z hasn't been touched. Sunday is my only day off so it's going to be a mad dash to have them finished. I'll post some pics in a day or 2.

Damn Eric, I thought I was bad. "You got long way to go and a short time to get there" I hope you get 'em done in time. See you at TF.
