While I was at school about five years ago my friend Eddy introduced me to three-wheelers. You know those little fun little machines from the eighties? The ones someone found was more dangerous then expected and then they disappeared. Yep those are the ones.
So back to my lifetime, my friend Eddy has a number of three-wheelers, from Honda to Kawasaki he has them. He would take me out riding and I really have grown a affinity towards them.
These are some of Eddy's MachinesThis fall I found and got one of my own. This thing was a real pile. The previous owner had it sitting out in the parking lot for a couple of years and let whatever happen to it happen. The wiring was a rats nest, all of the plastic pieces were missing, the seat had no cover left and it was just wore out.
Since then, while I was at school I got a new wiring harness and pretty well started over with it. I ended up replacing almost everything. The voltage regulator, starter, fuel pump, starter relay, and thumb switch. I got all new except the switches, which have gone out since they have been put in.
Eddy ended up getting me a set of fenders off of one of his old machines. I started to get it together and make it look like some semblance of what it should look like.
In this last picture I was testing colors on it to decide the color scheme. I have decided to go with the blue and black instead of the original red, black, and gold colors. Gold (bling, bling) was so weird and out of place on it, so for sure that is going away. I had it running and kind of driving by that point. It would run and drive for a few days and then something would come up and it would take me two weeks to fix it. So when I got home to Oregon with it I tore it apart to rebuild the whole thing. That carnage to come later.
