RIDE RED...IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE??????????
hey Dean. At one time or another you guys got hands on with each of the factory 250 racebikes. Which do you think was the fastest or most responsive? After riding Heidi Decks kaw , and Rodney Gentrys hondas , I think it was the yamaha. Mendenhalls bike was a rocket.
i'm up for some stickers! glad to see ya here. been reading this post since the first day. great to hear from someone on the inside of the business. i used to love the mag and hated that you quit producing it, but i understand why now. you still keep in contact with the guys from the mag?

Hi Dean,
At the risk of being overly redundant, welcome to the board and thanks for your contributions. I was one of your subscribers way back when and have enjoyed reading your posts. I would very much like a sticker for both of my trikes.
Lastly, if I may be so bold, I have an idea that I think a lot of us would find really cool. I know that you're probably very busy but it would be great if you could have a monthly guest article on the web site. Maybe just a scanned article from the magazine along with some of your commentary.
Thanks!
I would be Honored to have one ( or more ) of those stickers!!Originally Posted by oldfart

Dean I'd pay ya for some 3wheeling stickers for my trikes. I was 14 in 1985 when I got my new 200x. I watched 3wheelers rise and fall and still love them today. Have 2 of them now, an '85 250R and '86 350X. My restored 250R would shine with some stickers on it. I'll even put them in the same spot as 3wheeling did for its test back in the day.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Dean,
Thanks for all the good memories. I actually ordered 2 of the yellow and red stickers (I believe it was for 50 cents and a SASE) from 3wheeling magazine back in the early 80's and put them on the rear fenders of my '73 ATC70.
If you have any to sell I'd buy some!
Thanks
Oh, guys here's the drill. If you want two 3Wheeling Magazine vintage stickers (large yellow ones), read 2, I will do this.... Send me a self-address, stamped envelope, throw in a buck (for my hard labor and gas in driving to the post office @ $2.17 a gallon), and I will send you some. This is a limited time offer, no discounts to Dirt Wheels readers, and will last only as long as I can find old stickers up in the rafters of my garage... If you want more, then figure two-fer-a-buck. My mailing address is

I will let you know when I reach the bottom of my ATC sticker box. Okay? Dean
About the fastest/quickest 250 3-wheelers.... I felt that the Paul Turner ATC 250Rs had the most grunt and torque of the bunch. I could ride them the easiest. The Kawaski Tecate was a handful and made big power up stairs. I didn't care for the vibration. The Yamaha was a little weak I thought. Harry Klemm's Kawaski motors ran really smooth, and Bassani's 350 Banshee was a great combination.
We once rode a Toomey 350 and it was a real handful. We were doing some radar testing out at El Mirage, and Bruce took the bike all the way to the end of the lakebed, to get a good running start. I held the radar gun at what I estimated would be the direction he would be coming at me. I first heard the buzz, then the radar gun began to make noise, and the very first reading I saw on the gun, even before I could see the bike was 86mph! Bruce went by me like a bullet! Great fun. Dean
