Awesome! The perfect pair

Awwwww, that's sweet!

I see two 4 wheelers in the background.

I have the Honda dealer set-up instructions for the 86 ATC 250R

[Swinger]

I dont think I could take it. It would sit for a bit then game on, unless I had two of them. Then I could do the showroom thing!

[Buster Brown]

Probably be putting 'er up with a no reserve soon.
Life has it's zigs & zags..... A broken down auto and a good share of bills here. Hate to do it, but need to keep my boat a float and getting real bogged down as of late. The sale would hopefully knock out a bunch of demons that have been haunting us. This would hopefully be the knock out punch we need.....
I'd kinda like to explore some new avenues too. Really like to start fabricating some of my own stuff. Dreaming a little here, but there's always another door that opens when one closes.
Sorry guys, hope there's no ill feelings, as I did really plan on keeping this thing till my daisy pushing days. The last go round on eBay was truly legit, but just didn't pan out in the end. To be honest I wasn't really expecting it to even come close to selling then, but was willing to if it happened. Kinda relieved after it ended up with a flop. Probably pissed off a few prospective parties after the auction ended when the phone rang and I wasn't really in the mood for offers. I quoted a crazy number in efforts to put it to rest. Now frankly I'd almost take a little over what I've got into it, just to make life a lot more pleasant here. I'm still very blessed with a great family and fleet of Rs. My marriage has defiantly suffered over my ATV addiction. Hell I'm almost 2 months sober now from eBay. I've gone cold turkey and it's been kinda nice having more time. Unfortunately spare time now is spent putting in a new transmission in an '02 Dodge neon, that's barely worth the trouble. Just thought I'd explain myself before looking like a greedy attention whore. I'm sure many will still call BS and just scream "bid boosting".
Anyway, I've got to get the dam Neon put back together, allowing me room to get 'er down for current pics, so it might be a few weeks. BIG job here. Neon's getting a new trans, timing belt and a host of other miscellaneous worn out crap. Hope she runs again soon! Keep'n my fingers crossed!

Best of luck Andy!! I can't wait to watch the excitement again!!!

[aldochina]

too bad times are tuff! i wish you the best with whatever happens, wish i could spend all my money on that R, but thats just not reality! seems like alot of work to save a neon, but what do i know!! good luck Andy!!

[3-wheelin]

With the enconomy the way it is I wish you the best of luck. Especially for that little girl. I don't really see what the big stink is over this. It's not like it is an origional shelby or something. It's a 25 yr old sand eating mud slanging 3 wheeler.

Pray for someone wanting to relive their childhood that has holes in their pockets. If you do well I'm sure glad my parents kept an origional boxed nintendo from 1985.

Wont be bidding, but I can't wait to see everyone else spend that cash!

[dcreel]

Making ends meet, and family are way more important than holding on to it. Hopefully it goes to another good home. Hopefully the money helps you start fabrication of your own parts, seeing your pics, builds, and projects I have no doubt the parts you fabricate will be impressive. Good Luck and I can't wait to see the outcome.

Its a trike that you arent gonna ride, no brainer here, do what you need to do to keep the fam happy.

[DasUberKraut]

All I can say is WOW. This thread has given me my last couple hours entertainment...ups and downs. The whole time I'm just thinking I'd like to visit Andy and see this with my own eyes seeing as I'm only about 5 or 6 hours away.

I'm glad as hell to know this trike brought so much joy to a fellow cheesehead.

[honda200x1987]

It will definately be on my eBAy watch list! Hate to see ya sell it but I am sure it will go to a good home concidering the money it will bring. Good Luck!

[DasUberKraut]

It's a shame we can't all chip in for a drawing at TF or something. There's no way Andy would get what he deserves for it though.

[bkm]

If guys get pissed, its out of jealousy and I say Eff'em. I know the passion you have for this bike as well as all of the other top notch R's you have, but family comes before any piece of plastic and metal. Good luck and remember you are the one who put up with all the B.S. and took the financial risk to aquire this bike. Its time to reap the fruits of your labor and move on and I couldn't agree more.
