Sorry i didnt post em. I'll try 2 post em up 2morrow after school. Its a sad story though, the motor buried under ground Just the chassis. Any ways the guy who had it before Mike used to race it back in the day. He took the motor out & put it in a wooden crate to rebuild the motor. Sure enough he tore the shed down,accidently buring the crate. Several years rolled by after he concreted a slab and built another shed. Then it hit him where he put the motor. I just wanna cry. The guy said he wasnt sure if the motor was under the slab.our luck ITS BURIED under it! Well hopefully I can go 2 his house and get better pics. At 1 time he asked me 2 buy it at an Amazingly $75.00 Yes u heard correct, but now he wont sell it. he wants to put an 82 250r motor in it. Iwas gonna buy it,but i had only $49.00. Then he changed his mind when i got it. WTF

That's cool, i can't wait to see the pics! But man, I wouldn't put any motor in that little frame except whats supposed to be there! that's a rare find and should be restored to former greatness.

Man, this wait is worse than waiting for Christmas. I think the 80 may be the Holy Grail of Tigers.

I don't know how big the slab is but for a jewel like that It wouldn't be beyond me to take a shovel and dig a tunnel under the slab to find it.

so did you get it or not. i am not too far away. if you can not afford it let me know i will pic it up. finding a motor would be impossible but it would be nice to own that piece of three wheelin history.

barry_mann · 01-10-2004

Trikeaholic.... that would sure be a nice trike for the boy AND look sweet next to that mint Tiger 200 and if you get that Tiger 250 by you.

We could change your name to the ' TIGER Tamer' ... or 'Pack of TIGER's'
