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.

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 laughing ... 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 eek Yuck Mad Yuck eek )
