    Buying @ TrikeFest???

    I was wondering if it will be covinient for me to buy a bike when I get to TF 09?
    For you that have been there, Are bikes available? If there are, What kind of trikes? Sport, utility...? I know 70's are in high demand. How are the prices?
    Price is a factor too. I'm willing to drive about 300 or 400 miles to get a machine as I'm planning on landing in Cincinnatti on Monday so I can have up to 3 days to get a bike.

    I'm just looking for a runner since it will be impossible for me (budgetwise) to ship any of my trikes to Indiana as I'm in the caribbean.

    How strong, in terms of attendance, is TF 09 looking?
    I know is still early, I'm just wondering.

    If you have a trike for sale that you were looking to sell at TF 09 or are within 300 to 400 miles of Concinnatti, Oh, let me know what trike you have, the condition it's in, what does it need, and of course, the price. I have parts that I can take with me to me to maybe complete a bike. I also have parts that I can trade like 250R motors and the like.

    What do you guys think?

    Please, help.

    Hey Torker...
    I have seen bikes for sale at TF, but I guess it depends on what you are looking for and how much. You may have better luck posting this in the classifieds..."Wanted for TF 09".

    I will keep my eyes and ears open for you.
    I think I know of a clean, strong running, BigBore Tri-Z for sale

    Hi there Tammy: Thanks for the quick reply!!!
    I'm just looking for something to ride.
    250's are all great, even air cooled ones, and I have seen some 250's go for $300-$700 price range. If i can get one of those I'll be more than happy. A 70 will be great as well. I guess that after flying there I refuse not to ride something with you guys. A TRI-Z just sold for $300. If I can get something like that, I'll take it, even if it needs some parts. Just need to know what it needs and I'll bring it with me as I have some spares. If you hear of anything that might fit the bill, please, let me know. I'll try the classified as well. Thanks for your help, as usual, you're great.
    Just out of curiosity, how much is that big-bore Z?

    Holy cow those sound like some good prices around you! Your in the Caribbean, I would think trikes would be harder to find, and in turn more expensive.

    Anyways, if you look ahead of time, and get the word out theres not going to be a problem for you to get a bike there. Even if its delivered by someone else. Ill keep my eyes open, around the time if theres a deal you might like I post.
















    TAMMY!

    what you talkin bout a bigbore Z for sale!?!!!????????



    Whats goin on????????????

    Yep, I'm in Puerto Rico. ATV prices here can be really good, but the $300 TRI-Z sold recently in these forums I think. 3 wheelers are very hard to find and most are junk from years of sitting.

    Eric, can you PM me some info anf price on that Z?

    Thanks to everyone, Let me know if you got anything.

    Here are a few samples of the good deals that I'm talking about:

    The deals are out there, but I'm too far still. I'll need these when I get there

    Thanks guys.

    I'm not looking to ship a bike from the states, I have more than my share in my garage. I just want something to buy and use at TF 09. Shipping will be around $700, just like a car. I rather use those to buy something.

    Well Eric, a loner would be great!!! if I can find one. But, If I can find something that I need, to buy and use, @ TF 09, like an or TRI-Z, I'll dissasemble the thing and ship it. If not maybe I'll sell the thing right there.
    I just need a rider. It's hard for me to fly all the from P.R. to TF 09, and not have anything to ride around and have fun with you guys. I'm sure you understand.

    There will be some "friends ride free" bikes around at TF. I'm planning on bringing a bunch of bikes, and I've only got the one ass to sit on them with. As long as you pay for anything you break, you can probably ride one of mine. Granted it may be the battle trike or my shagged out T3, but still it's something to ride. Just don't sink somebody's loaner in the creek or try to climb the backbone.
