Um....come out to the badlands in Indiana...and we will race. I was hilll climbing hills that dirt bikes and quads wouldnt touch. u think 3 wheelers are out of style?..then y can I still get what I put into it? I'll deffenitly race you, and out ride you, I draged alot of quads, and yea they do beat me, but when we raced in the trails, they dont have a chance. if your not a 3-wheeler guy, then why are you on this fourm.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your accident, but usually its the RIDERS fault for getting hurt, and if my wife wanted a trike, Id buy her the bad @$$ed one I can find, because I'm sure shes smart enought not to over ride it and crash...

 

I've got to agree with the 3-wheeler riders here, if you've never done a 'highest mark' type of hill climb on a 200x or something like that, you've never really competed. Even on my old 200, making that turn at the top to come back down happened in half a heart beat with no feeling like you're not going to make it. On my Eiger, if I wait too long to make the turn back down, it's scary. And in the woods, maeuverabilty on an ATC is AWESOME. Reverse? Never needed it on my 3-wheeler. I'd be up a creek w/o it on my Eiger.

 

damm I'm sorry. i USED TO HAVE A 85 250R trike PORTED AND MILLED. I broke my coller bone three times. my arm once a broken wrist and ankle. yes I can ride. I ride fast and with no hesatation. after about 10 trips to the hospital I bought a 86250r (Quad) and a 95 cr500. i started out at 3 years old on a atc 70 so dont tell me I cant post on this forum. give me a 70 and I'll smoke you. honesty do you guys ride 3-wheelers because you like them or you cant afford a decent quad. I ride every thing from a street bike to a dirtbike. I was born to ride. sorry I bashed your trikes, I have respect for anyone who rides. It's a way of life for me, I was born to ride.and to say my bike is only good for a straight line you need to take another closer look at the suspension. I have 4 other quads and my 500 quad is faster and handles great for a hi-bred. I have seen some very nice 3-wheeles and have been beat by them up olds by a coulpe bike lenghts. so not all of them are slow so I apoligize. the fact is I dont think there safe for women to ride considering most women cant handle driving a car.

 

i dunno about that..women can handle some stuff pretty well...but yea...Ive been riding since I can rember...never did I once go to the hospital..and I raced dirt bikes...quads...just wish I could race trikes

 

I'm not raggin' on ya' bansheeesmoker......BUT going to the hospital 10 times does not make you a Good rider. It is stories like that that scare the hell out of people and keep them from trikes. Also the reason why Honda and the others were pressured to stop making them. I go fast, and have a lot of fun, BUT I do not push it to the utmost limit. A broken collar (sp?) bone is not too far off from a broken neck; and I have kids to come home to. My wife is not into the speed thing and she does great on my 200x in the yard. She is not the lady that will pull 50mph wheelies. She wants a fun ride. My wife and I agree with you that most women can't even drive a car. But she is going to putt around and have a good time not "tear it up"![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] This is also where good training comes in....If I show her the propper way to shift her weight and stuff she will be just fine.......like I said i'm not pushing any buttons here, just clearing some stuff up.

 

rite on. thats cool I;m not offended. thats prety cool your wife wants to ride. youl have another reasion to hide out in the garage. ( honey i'm fixing up your bike). he he. if your just putten the that should be fine. just would hate to hear about someones wife getting hurt. thats all I really meant noting against trikes, wish i still had one to turn into a drag bike.

 

Very respectfull responce......quite a few people on here would of came back with some retarted responce to what I said but you came back like a man!..If I make it out to Cali ;I will buy you a beer!

 

I'll take you up on that. 10 trips to the hospital may not make me a great rider.but a rider with a big set of khoney's.lol j\k

 

LOL@ cant afford a decent quad. you mean has established credit. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


for the price these "new" quads are going for, id rather buy a mazzone mid engine moly car. i ride a three wheeler because when i ride quads it feels like im driving and not riding.
