 Posted: Sat Jul 10, 2010 8:48 pm Post subject: Another '83 ATC250R Build!!! |
  |
|
Im always posting something or other about trikes on facebook so its no secret that i love them. Anyway, i logged on there the other day and i had an inbox message from a friend saying he knew a guy with a 250 trike who would possibly sell it. I went and had a look and bought it then and there. Its in peices, needs a rear fender, piston and rings and assembly but it came with a spare engine and i got it for $450. SCORE!!! Ive got to pick up the swinger next week. I plan on taking it to Jamies, having him respray the frame and engine and assembling it. The tank, seat, front fender and light are mint.
Heres some pics.

Thats my girlfriends cat "Apples". Thats my girlfriends loungeroom... mum wont allow anymore trikes at her place and my girlfriend doesnt have a shed at her unit so we had to put it in her loungeroom.
Best girlfriend EVER!

| I reckon you should just put it together actually though it will mean you will have something to ride. |

Yep, getting a collection happening now...
Ive got the Blue 83R, this 83R and the 84 200X which is kinda my girlfriends too but mostly mine again cause i just bought her this...
So i think its safe to say i can take the 200X whenever i want ... im hoping to get it to the beach this weekend actually. Just have to put on the new chain and sprockets and a chain adjuster (which involves removing the bloody swingarm bolt    )
