I love that she still wants to be included! She was out sorting freshly zinc plated nuts and bolts for me over the weekend. And it June it will be her 2nd time going to Trike Fest!
Magic eraser simple green and wd-40.... industry secrets.. hahah blue line graphics is the man, back when you could make a profit I polished a few turds you really get an intimate understanding of each model when you bust your knuckles cleaning.... and in the process make you or someone else a nice rider...Hondas and chevys are a winning combo
The 400EX is a beast of a machine...I had one that I bought off a kid and the thing was stupid fast. I thought it needed some motorwork done because it was chattering. The mechanic I took it to asked me if any work had been done. The kid told me it was stock so i said "nope stock machine" The mechanic called me back and said, It had an 88mm top end in with a stage 2 hot cam...turns out those cams make a ton of noise and that's what i was hearing...I then started calling it the 426 Hemi Honda ...That machine never gave me any trouble....reliable as hell.
Like Hanke says ill tell you what! "King of the hill" came out beautiful can't beat the look with the stock rear wheels and tires all around best looking trike ever made in my opinion "ill tell you what" great video Preston i always enjoy..
That turned out fantastic ! It's in the same condition as my 85 200x perhaps nicer. It's awesome you have your kiddos helping and they seem to enjoy spending time with you. Can't ask to be much more blessed than that. Thanks for sharing Preston.
Absolutely man. My girl is right into it. As long as I'm stocked up on blue paper towels and simple green... she'll find something to wipe down or clean up! My oldest son isn't really interested, and middle son has a short attention span... We'll see what happens as time goes on!
Nice turd polish!👍🏼 also nice that you hook up your buddies with your extra machines. Thanks for the videos, I’m inspired to go do a little polishing of my own.!
I know it's a long shot but if you don't already have buyers for one of those machines I'd be very interested. Been following the Chanel and your Instagram for a while and love the content, I've learned a lot. I had a 85 200x I restored when I was 18, I'm 22 now and regret selling that thing every day. Keep saving those beautys!
@@ThisOldTrike I'm smack dab in the middle of the finger lakes NY. Willing to make a drive to you out west for sure though. I'm looking for a rider quality 200x, 350x or even an R If I can find one.
Good video Preston! Glad to see that your daughter is still getting after it! Always nice to have help, and someone to talk to while you work on machine's. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family!
Thank you very much Pat! She is really fantastic and, if it's been a while, she'll actually ask if we've got any trike adventures planned because she wants to go. I love it. Full heart for sure.
I love that you include your daughter in your videos. At her age my oldest daughter would help me with videos way back when. She is 26 now.

Kids in the shop is always a great thing!

Looks liked you saved two more, they are lucky you found them. Keep up the good work.
Right on brother-man!

100 % improvement ,, Awesome Transformation... Love the ATC's
Very nice machine now! Wow! I love the shock boot trick and magic eraser trick. I have used magic erasers on my truck. They're pretty great.

There's a good chance the one in the video is going to be bought, but the other isn't spoken for yet. Where abouts are you located??

I've been enjoying your channel. Really appreciate all the knowledge you share. Amazing what a little tlc will do, to bring back these machines.
God bless your kids
Who do you order your seat covers from?
Ebay
Hey! Thank you!! The 78 is the nicest one. I'd be looking for probably $1500 on that one. The other 2, probably $750ish each.
Can you tell me if I have a real 83 Christmas special 70? I would love to get your input and knowledge
Sure. Can you send me pictures on Instagram or Facebook?
I have a full headlight assembly ( minus lamp holders ) and a stock exhaust system from an 86. 350x... Might sell it... 👍👍👍
