The Riddle of the Sphinx and 3ww - an uncommon link ...... The Riddle of the Sphinx, as it goes: "What has one voice, and is at first four-footed, then two-footed and finally, three-footed?". The correct answer is "Man". The answer unfolds as follows: Man always has but "one" voice. As baby, man has to at first crawl on all fours to get around, then as it grows and develops, man can use his two legs for mobility, and finally as he ages and grows wiser he must steady himself with a cain - the third leg.
I wonder how many Dinosaur riders of this board are the same as the Sphinx's "Man". At first they got into ATVing by purchasing a quad - a novice or "Baby" - four wheels. Then, after learning the ropes, they decide to get bit by the "Motocross" bug, buy a dirtbike, and pretend they are Jeremy McGrath - two wheels, two legs. Then as they get older, and wiser they decide to explore and own the ultimate in off-roading and basis of this whole web world we have here - the trike - three wheels, three legs ...... Oh, and the one voice - thats easy, just think about it.

Perhaps Dinosaur should have been in quotes - we're all either refered to as that or even more derisively, Death Machine riders, because as you know, those things are dangerous and werent they outlawed, and my aunts, neighbors, sisters, friends, bosses, nieces, pastors, doctors, hairdressers, milkmans, mechanics, dads , brother was killed on one, and my favorite - "those things are illegal".

Hmmm. I started on 2 wheels then went to 3 ,then 4.Now I'm stuck between 3 and 4.One day I will be back on 2.
Tejas,We evolved into ending up on 4 wheels after 3 legs. :) I'm gonna have the baddest wheel chair in the nursing home.

Always on 3 until my TRX, which was my first quad. And now onto dirtbikes a bit (KDX200). The TRX is the only quad I'll ever own for my personal use.
