    Finally got another one

    Trike that is! I used to collect these things and gave them up for cars and dirtbikes. Now I have me a fun little project.

    1985 Honda ATC70
    Turns over well, clicks through all the gears, all original and very solid starting point. Had a very clean 1984 ATC70 just like it years ago!

    There was a 3 wheeler sitting along RT 22 not far past PRP yesterday for sale. It looked like one of the "newer" ones that had some suspension under it.

    I remember wanting one of those so bad as a kid, almost had my dad talked into it, then 60 minutes went and aired how dangerous they were. That was the end of that....and pretty much 3 wheelers.

    Aww thats a sad story.

    Hell I am 6'4 227lbs and still have a blast on these little 70s.



    Took it apart today.. I think I'm not getting strong enough spark and if I checked the coil with the ohmmeter correctly, my problem is the ignition coil. Gonna buy one on ebay tomorrow and hopefully this thing will be up and running! I took apart the carb and cleaned it. The tank needs some work, great condition on the outside but terribly rusted on the inside.

    Haha my girlfriend's dad just gave it to me. He knew I used to collect these things and he wasn't doing anything with it. It will probably be for sale once I make it driveable and nice.

    I bought a used coil on ebay this morning I hope it is that and not the points!

    I'd really like to have an old airfooler 250r project. I rode one once and I enjoyed it. It was definitely down on power compared to my waterpumper but I bet with a minimal amount of work you can get them runnin good. It was fun as hell to ride though.

    Link wasn't working for me. That trike is beautiful though! Too much $$ for me though!
