NEW in crate '86 ATC 250R

[dcreel]

hi guys, I am new to the forums, I just bought an 85R in nice shape from the original owner, with the certificate of origin, his title from 89, owners manual, and honda dealer binder with the 85-86 service manual, tech updates, and also the assembly instructions for the 85-86 model with pictures from the crate, I left it at my dads but can post the pages when I get a chance, I also know where there is a brand new 86R and a 86 tri-z still in the crates, along with some other honda and yamaha rarities, the guy used to own a yamaha/honda dealership and kept a few things when the 3 wheeler ban happened, I would love to get a hold of them, great find Andy, see ya, Ron

Lets see some pics of the crated trikes...

I would love to get pics of them for you guys, I'm not trying to start a mad stir for these, I just wanted to say they are still out there to be found, he was a dealer near wilkes barre, pa. We bought our snowmobiles and original 3 wheelers and atvs from him in 1983, 82 tri-zinger, 83 ytm200E, a blaster in 89, a Warrior in 96, his kids used to race bikes, trikes, and quads on the circuit and he has kept some of there machines also, I have seen the race machines for my self, quite a few times when they were in the shop when I would stop in to buy parts or look around, I'm also best friends with his head mechanics grandson and he has seen them for himself, my buddy got a 81 yamaha SRX snowmobile from him that was supposed to be destroyed, but it wasn't, the owner lives in my hometown and I drive by the building they are in (his original shop) everytime I am in town, if I see him outside I will stop and ask him about them and maybe some pictures, I know he will not sell them, I know lot's of people around town who have asked, and he says he is leaving them to his kids and that's that, so that's the scoop guys, see ya, Ron

Thank you Jeff, and Steve's real name is not Fabio. That's John's name.

So maybe I am overlooking it, but how much did he have to give for it?

As most of us Tracking this auction have probably seen by now there have been 4 bid retractions to Andy's auction as of 9:00am eastern time this morning. I would suggest to Andy to post here in our Forum the eBay user ID's so that any of us here that use eBay can add them to our blocked bidder list. For those of you who didn't know that is an eBay option, it absoultely is and I encourage people to use it as to many of us have been stung. So PLEASE Andy, when this auction is over and settled I ask you to help the rest of here prevent the frustrations you have experienced by posting their eBay user names. I sure hope none of them are members here but if so we should know that to. Hope the auction goes back up and ends with a legitimate bidder! P.S. The last retractor claimed item description was changed and it was not. eBay allows adding to the description but no changes once a bid has been placed. Andy only added a sincere "Thank You" since the last retractor with PRIVATE feedback pulled back their bid. Also the other thread about this wondered about it and if Andy canceled the bid, no he didn't, the bid would say, "Canceled" vs. "Retracted". Personally I believe people are trying to provoke Andy to pull the auction! Just my opinion!

I'd be happy to post these guys. Though I will say the last gentleman to have pulled out, I believe to be genuine. He must have gotten cold feet or maybe his wife found out! HA Ha ha!
As for the two previous posts #174 & #175.
You both are looking on the wrong thread. Sorry for the confusion. Try this link, post #141.

Andy - What was your original reserve price set at?

[RideRed250R]

may i ask why you are selling it? you seemed to be in love with this bike and want it forever?

[motorhead]

I don't post too often, but this thread has been too amazing; not to say, Thank You Andy.

I don't know Andy,so I am saying Hello. Your auction has keep me sleepless for days; this was terrific. You even kept your cool with some of the detractors; who were jealous to say the least.

Only you can ultimately decide what you will do with the machine. It will only be worth more later.

Thanks for giving us something to dream about.
