    One good thing about the trike racing lobby though is that I'm happy to see them racing again on tracks that formerly would never have let you keep one in the bed of a pickup truck out in the parking lot before that.

    Same with the ppl lobbying to open up public and private trails to trikes and I also agree with the positive results from people pulling off group buys and lobbying for manufacturers to re-release many discontinued aftermarket parts

    I think it's gone a long way to removing their Villain status from ATVing in general BUT I have to also acknowledge that's it's driven the popularity way up and the prices reflect that as does some of the kinds of fly-by-night enthusiasts it has attracted as with any other "formerly fringe" group or hobby I was involved in over the years.

    I was always biased against new machine conversions. Though they are fun to ride and very VERY impressive power-wise, I felt like it took something away from the nostalgia of trikes. Same reason I like AHRMA and other vintage racing organizations.... That being said, to each his/her own and I respect that, for real. I wouldn't kick a new Camaro or a new 450R conversion out of my stable either.

    There's always a trade off. Though I would love for this place to stay underground and more cliquish, that would mean I probably wouldn't have found it and 99% of what I know about trikes would have never been learned. My cellphone contact list is also filled with about fifty people Ive met, done business with, and are good friends with solely because of 3WW. That's definitely a positive note.

    I was lucky enough to spend one hilarious night at Invasion around the campfire with Ninja before he passed.

    That's one thing I try to keep in mind when deciding whether to go on certain trips. Live each day like your last, cause you never know.

    Feels like I've been here half my life, but it's only been 8 years. Met some great people along the way, wanted to choke out a few others. 3ww was life for a few years there, but it's slowly fading in the rear view mirror. Hoarders and azzz holes have pretty much ruined it for me so on to the next shiny object I'll go.

    I got nothing on the history though, the path was paved long before I joined and when it's all said and done, I'll be a footnote to a footnote, to a footnote. To be honest, none of us are bigger than the machines we all love. They're the thing that brings all of us together whether it be for better or worse.

    Cool thread. I'm sort of still new. Learned tons of info here. Always a fun time. Honestly forums were very big in the 2009 era. Most people joined FB in 2007. I enjoy both but I see a big decline on people on FB.

    I have used 'Wayback machine' Kinda cool. Shows stats etc.

    I know I have asked this a bit in a other thread... What does it cost to run this site per year? Where does the money come from to run it? Personal?

    I have a small group of guys from high school I'm close with, a small group of work friends I'm close with, and then a huge group of people I've met here that I talk to regularly. Some of these people are guys I've never even met in person. This site has really been life changing for me.

    Even though I race 15-20 events a year and sponsor the NEEDT 3 wheeler series, I have to agree with Mosh. Racing has been one of the biggest downfalls of our community. It gets worse every year, now there are "Sponsored" riders. Some of them are so dangerous they shouldn't be allowed on a track with others, but they have 1000 friends on facebook so no one says anything. I love racing more than anything but it is wearing on me, I can understand why the Mosh's of the world just quit going to events.
    Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work
