Baileyguns Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I've always got my eye out for a trike.. Waiting for one to just appear in the shop, lol Buddy of mine had a 250R when we were kids... Like 12, lol. Surprised we aren't dead. Quote Live Free or Die http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/9429fda0882ce39582aff21a740157c0.gif
grtrat1 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 I also have a 86 250r in the back yard... Pretty much junk.... The head and Jug appear to be ported some... Also have a IMS tank for it... Need to sell that stuff... Quote http://www.offtopic.forum/images/sig.png
Baileyguns Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 That's to bad... Those are some cool trikes when done up. I wouldn't mind a completely built 250R or one of TPC's 450 trikes. Quote Live Free or Die http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/9429fda0882ce39582aff21a740157c0.gif

camo fox Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Ahh the good old trikes. I don't miss those things at all! Like everyone else, it's what I started out riding on .... took my garage out with one when I was a little guy. Good thing I jumped of just before impact! I do like the TPC 450 though (that's the converted trike, right?). Quote
grtrat1 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 yea, when I took it out to a place we ride, some guy said I was crazy riding that 3 wheeler... Then I pulled a long wheelie in front of him... Alls he said when I came back is "better you than me"...There only dangerous if the person controlling them is new or stupid...

camo fox Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 There is no real argument about the safety a 3 wheeler lacks. Sure they have been ridden for years, started something that we all love so dearly today, but there is a reason that they don't make them anymore. The unstable-ness of them just made them sketchy for a lot of people. I agree, they are only as safe as their rider is smart, but in the event of a situation where quick maneuvering is needed, the lack of the 4th wheel just adds a certain level of danger that the average consumer doesn't want to risk. Still a game changer though, so like em or hate em, gotta show some respect for them. Quote
grtrat1 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 The only reason I went from 3 to 4 wheels is it is very hard to ride in trails rutted out by 4 wheelers..It did lack stability there.. Quote http://www.offtopic.forum/images/sig.png

That's another issue with those things. Not only the ruts, but when we used to take them in the woods upnorth, any decent sized rock or branch would really throw you off, sometimes litterally! Quote

grtrat1 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 Pretty dam good on that redneck bike... Looks like a 250r motor on a 200x? Ha... Then it turns into a 86 200x.... Quote http://www.offtopic.forum/images/sig.png
