Good ol Honda Forman with the electric shift on the handle bars. Does the headlight on the bar still come off like the Big Reds? We had two trikes growing up. One was a 250R. That thing went like a raped ape. We sold that when we moved back into town. Eventually we bought a 250 Big Red. It had Spider track tires. And that puppy went everywhere!

He/she wants you to do their laundry? And while so, enjoy some wine?

Looks awesome! I wonder if I can use that same logic with Beth to get myself a quad (It won't snow). Even if I got one and she got pissed I could still ride it more than quarterly!

Thanks, guys. it's exactly the one I wanted at a good price. Couldn't see spending $8K+ to occasionally plow and ride around in the woods once in a while. The first one I had, I put on almost 1K miles the first winter, but they shut down most of the areas we used to be able to ride to from the house.

I just shut the evening news off....Can't hear the TV sittin 3 feet in front of me.....Next shut my hearing aids off so at least the noise the grandkidz are making is down to a dull roar. My 7 year old grandson is wound tighter than a nuns....knickers after being cooped up in school all day, and his 8 year old sister isn't far behind.....Couple that with the other 13 year old grandaughter who is keeping them stirred up....
I'm ready to take the bridge!!!!
