First Tecate ride pics and vids

[ScottZJ]

Well I picked up Willie (86waterpumper) at his house and Tony (mrtwidster1) met us there. We met up to head to Bruceton TN at the local sand pit for the tecate official test ride.

Well as we unloaded everything got finally got ready to ride, willie and I got the tecates started in a timely manner LOL, as Tony sat and watched (he was riding hondas hehe). Well off we went for the first round. My tecate was running really good and the power was outrageous! I was really impressed with the tecate running with no flaws. Its been 4 or more years since I have ridden a good running tecate but MAN it was awesome!! Well unfortunately Willie didnt fair as well. Having his tecate sit up for years, the rats chewed on the filter and he didnt catch it. His carb is also needing some work, so I brought it home with me to get it going for the OK trike rampage ride in April.

Tony did a few vids but I cant figure out the sounds on the camera, sorry.

That's awesome scott!!! Nice to see your happy w/ the NEW T3! Looks like the power valves are opening and its revving up and running RITE!! I think the last time we hung out you had short hair!!
I bet the last time willie had his T3 running was when i got it started for him back at TF04 or something like that. I cant believe he still hasn't adjusted the front forks, after all the BS i gave him then LOL.
You guys have fun down south, I hope to see BOTH T3s at TF09!!

Great to see some tecate vids. Not too many on the net. Green is just a better color then red.

Actually I cranked it up back in 06? I think it was for a blast around the yard
This probably is the reason it is running so great right now. HAHA hopefully once the mice nest is removed from the airbox it will be ring dinging again with a bit healthier tone, still it was a fun riding day! Now where did I put that wrench that fits those fork bolts...
