3-wheelers

True, and exactly my point. If you don't understand the physics of riding one, you shouldn't ride one. I let a friend ride mine one time years ago and he literally ran out into a power pole that was maybe 15 feet in front of him when he started. He was barely moving but couldn't grasp the concept of shifting his weight and turning. He jumped off and the front tire went just past the pole. Three rear tire climbed it and kept going at idle.

I had an ATC 110 like most people and it was fine because it was tame and light enough to handle and whip around but still a crapshoot to ride compared to my old yz125 or my banshee. I just never enjoyed the 3 wheeler near as much as 2 or 4 wheels.

My buddy had a 250r 3 wheeler. That thing was just pure lunacy. I have no idea how Honda ever thought putting that engine on 3 wheels would end well.

I hurt myself more on a dirt bike than I did on the three wheeler.

3-wheeler's are just as safe as the driver operating them. That doesn't mean the driver necessarily has to be safe. It's all about weight distribution.

Excuse me.

Are you calling me fat?

You are twice my mass.

 

[Dirtman]

You're a leprechaun!?!?

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

You are twice my mass.

But only half as dense.

 

[PetroleumJunkie412]

You're a leprechaun!?!?

Sure.

use to rip a honda 3wheeler, lost it in the creek too many times, pull plug, change oil, dump fuel bowl, and she was good as new!

Same here, but I did ride bikes a lot more than three wheelers.

Excuse me.

Are you calling me fat?

Not intentionally, did I touch a nerve?

The 250r is an absolute animal lol. Id like to see one with the 500 smoker swapped in, im sure there's at least one out there.

Not intentionally, did I touch a nerve?

Pfft, I wish. Been since the Nixon administration since someone touched me...

You can get those engine up to 170cc now. Link It's crazy. I had a 125 with manual clutch on a cheap dirtbike frame once. 300lb me hit an empty trashcan fast enough for the bike to be balanced on the lid still running when I got off the ground.

You know...i think 3 wheelers do get a bad rep. I think it had to do mostly with the greedy dealers at the time selling adult sized machines to parents for their kids. Theres a whole dateline thing about it on youtube. I cant see how the machines would be any more dangerous then anything else.
