Well it looks like I am finally ready to get a new trike, had the yellow one since last June so it is getting boring. I am going to Greensboro NC tomorrow to pick up my new one. It is an Ecstasy, not new but a 98 with 4032 miles on it. Ti,e to start all over again changing stuff!! If any of you know of someone that would like the yellow one, it is now for sale! Will post it in the classifieds Friday if I get the time!! I have put a few grand in it since buying it and will sell it for $15, what a deal!!

Should have looked first! I didn't know what an Ecstasy was but I did find this picture.

congratulation Ray,

Like Vicki said you get the thing the way you want then it is time to move on....

But if the picture that was posted does it justice the new trike should be a beauty.

A three seat model.... Gee I wonder how many folks we can take at one time.... Perhaps we can set a guiness record.

Nice looking Ray.

One questions. Do those big trikes handle as well as the goldwing trike you had or the Valkyrie trike?

Well the luck I have is consistant anyway. I drove 250 miles each way to get this thing today, after talking to him a few times on the phone, took cash to buy it with, and told him to have the title and all paperwork ready to go by noon and I'd be there to get it. He agreed there would be no problem, I got there at 11:30 this morning and it looked good, I checked it out, and said lets do it. THEN he told me to go ahead and pay him so he could pay off the loan he has on it in Pennsylvania and he would send me the title when he got it back! Man was I ticked. Some of you may have went along with that idea, but a pretty good friend of mine here has an old 50 something truck he bought like that 3 years ago, he paid the guy and never did get a title. He has a bill of sale that says he owns it, but he can't license it. So, I left it there and came home. Looks like I will find more to do to mine now and keep it aorund for a while!

Yep, I think I'd of walked also..........

Hope you gave him a piece of your mind in the process......

There will be another one that is better.

I got this new Edelbrock Air Gap manifold for mine the other day. Now I got to wait for it to warm up since my heater in the garage to a ...... well, we won't go there. this is my heater that uses recycled oil and etc.

The guy who sold it and installed it said I need a $750 part to fix it. Crap, I never paid that much for it new........

Performer Air-Gap® & RPM Air-Gap® Manifolds
This award-winning design incorporates the same race-winning technology that’s been used on our Victor Series competition intakes for years. The air-gap design features an open air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power. RPM Air-Gap manifolds are modeled after Performer RPM intakes for high performance street power from 1500-to-6500 rpm, and the new Performer Air-Gap manifolds are ideal for street performance from idle-to-5500 rpm.
