tri-z, tecate 4?

Shiet, I would love to own both of those

[tanks350x]

I'd love to have that 84 TECATE sitting in my shed, no matter how ugly they think it is, That TECATE 4 wouldn't be a bad choice either

[tecat-z]

I can understand some early trikes as being a little lackluster in the looks dept, but a Tri-z and T-4? They are some of the BEST looking atv's of all time imo..Guess the geeks in the office of that mag should focus more on the new $9,000, 4stroke, 4x4, 800lb injected couches they THINK they need, just to "Fit in". These geeks don't understand what inspired riding means through the use of good old fashioned body english. Now be a good little boy and jump back into you're Prius...

[harryredtrike]

turds.thats all i have to say.

[Dirtcrasher]

What knucklehead made THAT list?? The red tecate is ugly? The Tri-moto's ????????????????

CRAZY!

I love all those trikes, but the 4x4s are UUUUUUUUGLY!!

[Racerguy381]

They all get COAL this christmas :lol:

[Billy Golightly]

Putting the Tri-Z on there and the T4 is an absolute sin. The 84 T3, and the trimoto....well yeah, I can kind of understand :lol:

[Trimotomike]

wow what a bunch of idiots , how can nerds who ride utility quads have any opinion on anything like a Tri-z or Tecate . they probably havnt ever seen or touched any of those machines , aside of the stupid looking yamahauler and honda 200 alien mobile . thumbs down to Outdoor Life magazine .

[DixiePlowboy]

They should stick to fishing.

I loved seeing each pristine/showroom new 3-wheeler they had pictured.....even the Duckster. I guess beauty's in the eye of the beholder.

[MudBug]

wonder what their "best looking ATV's of all time" section would look like. would be a good laugh id say :lol:

[muddog]

now that their list ended up on this forum i hope those poor boys have some serious life insurance:beer

[daniel_250r]

the duckster and the pro hauler i can agree with but rest are classics for the most part. compare an old chevette to a new g6. it was just the style of the era

[mike from long island]

I bet ya that Ducks Unlimited would be all over the Duckster in todays market.

[seanndenise]

wow that tri z is beautiful, those guys are definately knuckleheads. wtf?

[cr480r]

i can defiantely see the trimoto and duckster being on that list.... but the tecate 4 and tri z? c'mon guys.....

[200XMichigan]

They probably think the plastic covered, modern 4 wheelers looks just great. I don't understand it, new 4 wheelers looks like the H3's of the ATV world, all plastic crap and show.

The Duckster is kinda cool, just cuz its a Duckster. I'd ride it.

But its no Tri-Z, that thing is awesome.

[daniel_250r]

i can say tri moto as well. if you see one, pop those plastics and take a look at the exhaust system!

[MonroeMike]

Well said.

[Racerguy381]

Well said.

Agreed, I think they are all beautiful in there own aspect. there have been alot worse looking stuff built in the past 20 years too....

[fabiodriven]

Bunch of fricken dorks these guys are.

[aldochina]

only real argument is the 84 t3. there are deffinate arguments for the rest being "ugly" dont see to much with the z maybe ugly flat top fake tank, and exposed frame, but i like the rest.

[Bryan Raffa]

at least the Tri-z is #1 on the list....:w00t:

[Mosh]

Maybe Raffa, Myself, TecateZ and a few other guys should flood them with some pics of our "Ugly" Tri-Z's...
What a bunch of...$$%%^^&#@

[jason85atc250r]

they should have had the alt and lt 125's on that list instead of some of there choices.

[plastikosmd]

'new 4 wheelers looks like the H3's of the ATV world, all plastic crap and show. '

amen,

weigh a ton, sure a lot of power..you need it..and a winch on front and back

[oscarmayer]

it's ok i gave them a price of my mind. jerk faces!!!

[TrailerRider]

Waiting on pics..

Also I am surprised there have only been 2 responses, Oscar and Mine. There needs to be some defending of the trikes on there. I know there are some serious debaters on here (From posts I have read). Share you thoughts on their stupidity. Set them straight!

We could flood the thread with all 3 wheelers pics and force them to repent!!! :TrikesOwn

[Billy Golightly]

Right now isn't a good time to start, but maybe after the forum and site upgrade is done later this week we'll start a campaign to flood their email boxes with Tri-Zs and T3s.

:w00t: They will repent and submit to the all mighty 3WW!

[inv3ctiv3]

There were a lot of ugly atv's on that list but the tecate 3 and 4 and the Tri-z? Come on, I am a honda man till I die but the TRI-Z is easily one of the best looking trikes ever made.

[aldochina]

they should have had the alt and lt 125's on that list instead of some of there choices.

:beer those alt were absolute butt ugly! more so than the yt

[Billy Golightly]

I'm thinking we could all chip in, and UPS our unwanted trail pro's to their office so they actually KNOW what something ugly is. Hows that sound?

[tecat-z]

Hey Mosh... I like how you think:naughty: Raffas right, at least "we're" #1:w00t:

[TrailerRider]

If I had some tp's I would ...lol They can't shut down the shipping department. They would have to open every single package and figure out what to do with the tp's. Great idea billy! :lol: :twisted:

[fabiodriven]

Me rikey the direction this thread is taking!:naughty:

[Racerguy381]

If they really wanted to post ugly ATV's they should have put up stuff like this

I'd love to get my hands on an old chevette in decent shape....<G>

[Dammit!]

If any of you are going to post something on their page, you might want to run it through a spellchecker first. ;)

[Dirtcrasher]

The only true uglies are homemade jobs such as above and the converted trikes to quads with the Astro kit...... Those are the pics they need to see.

Maybe I'm biased, but I think ALL TRIKES ARE BEAUTIFUL!!, just like most boobs :D

How on earth can you call a TRi-Z ugly?? And thats coming from a Honda lover!!

[Billy Golightly]

So now that the forum is back up, whats our plan of attack here? We gonna just flood their comment box, or we gonna get a little bit more sinister and mail em some trail pros?

[fabiodriven]

I'm firing off a comment right now. Hmmm, what to write...

[code200k]

in the words of Khan (Hank Hills neighbor )"stupid redneck!"

[Zach]

To be honest the only ones I didnt care for were a couple of the quads, and i read something in the article comments section I couldnt have put better myself. Any machine is made for functionality first and anything else including looks comes after that, are these guys expecting to see a bunch of Ferrari 3 wheelers and ATVs out there?

[The Goat]

I gotta say that the later T3s are the most beautiful bike ever built.

With the new polaris 850 stealth coming in a distant beautiful second.
