    I’m an idiot…

    Me having free time and an internet connection means trouble. I had nothing to do yesterday so I ended up cruising ebay and craigslist for a while, before I know it I was driving up to NE Ohio to pick up an atc 110.

    The price was right as I paid $90 for it, but of course it needs some work. I was told that about 4 years ago it just stopped getting spark so the guy took the ignition coil off and it sat in the garage since. So for starters I need an ignition coil and to put some tubes in the rear tires. For now I am thinking that I will keep it in running condition to use as a spare trike, it is nice having one that will fit in the back seat of your car. Maybe it will return to Ohio for some 110 racing.

    I think I have now bought more trikes in Ohio then anywhere else, despite never living there… this is my 4th Ohio pull.





    My Honda in my Honda….. (hey, does your trike hauler get 37 mpg?)

    Hell of a squeeze there! Looks like a great grab for $90.

    Do you have a video of the birth? I'd like to see how you get the honda out of the honda. Anyway nice score for 90.00, especially if you can get it running without a ton of extra money...

    When I was looking at the trike I told the guy I would buy it as long as we could get it in the car.....

    It actually fits nicely in there, I just had to take off the handlebars and tires and it fit fine. Kind of has me thinking that I should use this as my main ride when I travel for triking, getting 37 mpg in the civic is a lot better then the 19 the van gets and since I usually travel at least 2 hours for the big rides that is a big difference.

    The trick will be keeping it hidden from my parents . Since I am supposed to be selling off machines (come September I am only allowed to have 1) they will be a little mad.

    My dad encouraged me to buy the first one (he had a trike and a Fat Cat before me) but now when im up to 3 trikes he have started to go against me. Have a KTM 950 adventure, Gasgas EC300, Beta trial also ...and store most of the machines at his place so that might have something to do with it.


    Just recently found this page, need to post some pictures if im able to find them or ill just take new.

    Those 110s look like a blast especially one that u cud fit in a car (we dont have a trailer so i ride mine everywhere thru backroads and reserves and sometimes on dads ute when hes not busy) ive noticed that majority of the non running trikes i see have there recoil starter removed for some reason.

    Bruce, it's a 1980, I started out on a '79 and the '80 is basicaly the same with different stickers. I may have to take you up on the storage offer, for now the plan it to hide it at Joe's house until my parents find out that I bought it. lol
