Old school racer

[Rich250RRacer]

A long time buddy of mine has a powder coating business and when I recently stopped at his house to pick up some stuff he coated for me, he let me take some pics of his pride and joy. Now I've seen this many times, but it hasn't been seen by anyone but family and a few friends for almost 20 years. It's sitting in his basement now. He used to run flat track nationals back in 85-86 and this was his national trike. At one time he even converted it to an XC trike and ran it in the toughest race in America, the Blackwater 100. There's a few rare items on this thing, anybody care to guess what they are?

Seriously? :confused: Ok, I guess I'll explain. If you read the post, you'll see that it's sitting in his basement, and he had to pull the axle to get it through the door and down the steps. And I don't think he had plans to ride it down there. Not to be rude, but I asked who can spot the rare items on the trike, and the first question I get asked is "why is the chain off". :huh :D

that crazy looking offroad helmet has got to be rare and i have never seen a atv cover from honda or maybe i have never notced , and it looks like an aluminum swing arm and if it is that would be rare

Short track tank kit..
Paul Turner Pipe..
Cal Fab swingarm..

Those things are kind of rare.

the front stock rim is off a 350 x. i remember the rims on a 250 r being gold and the 359x being silver but i could be wrong, hell, i was wrong just the other day and a younger member was kind enough to point it out to me

fred you are rarely wrong. i wish i was the guy who pointed out your error.lol

[fearlessfred]

i wish that were true but im wrong plenty. thanks anyways. if we cant admit to being wrong than we limit ourselfs to what we can learn.i come from a family of self righteous people and it is easy for me to be that way,but that is not a trait i want to have and i work at not being that way. a lot of what i say is for entertainment purposes ( mostly my own entertainment,because no one else gets it) .you have been quiet on here. do you have the r running good. oh yea thanks to rich racer that was fun . but didnt figure the pipe was rare. it looks like it also has a paul turner cylinder on it to

i was only joking with you fred. you are a very knowledgable guy. a definite asset to the site.

the r is apart now and getting some upgrades. i will know in a month or two how the engine is doing.

either way the atc's are rare. an atc250r is definitly on my list of wants.

i wish i would have kept my 250r three wheeler. i traded it vw bug that i didnt even want or need. i also had a 350 x that was a fun machine. i could wheelie the x for ever
