    That better not be a "live strong" bracelet!

    • @motorcyclerewind
      @motorcyclerewind  Місяць тому +2

      It most certainly is a LIVESTRONG bracelet.
      I wear it everyday and have worn one everyday since they came out. I wear for my mother who died from cancer in 1991, when I was 23 years old. I wear it as a reminder of her. She was only able to meet one of my 4 children.
      I wear it as a reminder of the greatest gift my mother ever gave me, was showing me the woman I married. At the end of my mother’s life we went through Hospice. My mother only had sons and was a proud woman. I never had to ask my wife to take my mother to the bathroom. Keri did not do it for my mother, she did it for me.
      So to be clear it is a LIVESTRONG bracelet.
      Thanks for watching.

    The Commuter Industries TE380 three-wheeler was available in a limited range of colors, typically aligned with the industrial and utility nature of the vehicle. The most common factory colors were:
    Yellow - A bright, industrial yellow was commonly used for visibility and practicality.
    Red - A bold red was another popular choice for recreational users.
    Green - Some models featured a darker green, likely catering to outdoor and agricultural users.
    These colors were often accompanied by black or silver accents on components such as the frame, handlebars, and wheels.
    If you're restoring or looking for a specific original color, vintage ATV forums or specialized restoration guides might have additional details on factory paint codes.

    I’ll bet you could find some tubes at Tractor Supply for those tires. Then it won’t matter how bad they are, cause as long as the tube stays in the tire, it’ll stay up.

    The main circuit in the carburetor is somewhat plugged, which causes it to fall on it's face when you open the throttle. Gasoline could eat whatever is causing you problems, just running the engine might clear out the plug, but try and clean out the main jet of the carb if you can.

Thing was a tremendous fun to ride! Im not sure but think your model is a bit newer early mid 80s idk ... got me to sub, gl

    Those who tend not to wait spend the future to contemplate. Please consider flushing out motors before you attempt to start. Rings can be ruined crank bearings can seize and 2 stroke motors especially the area under the piston can hold debri.
