    Wow...I didn't realize how lucky I was. My wife has had little problem with my trike buying. With the economy sucking and her losing her job, I don't know if I'd try it right now, but that's just common sense!

    My buying has been self-limited because I can only fit about 6 in the garage, and the 7th has been banished to the barn. That's risky because the mice just LOVE to nest in any equipment that's left for too long! I fantasize about putting a concrete floor in the barn and then I could store 20 or more!

    Kasey, So since you have made that big score on the Nicholson 185s, does that mean that you are ready to pass it along and look for you next big score??? Cottonwood, what a great offer. And Oscarmayer, when your trikes start running over $2000 to buy them, then you are knocking on the door of a problem!!!! LOL

    I think you should save your money, and buy a nice running 350x that you dont have to wrench on. Then while your wrenching on the hard tails, you'll still have something to roll with while the projects get on your nerves.
