I see a couple of posts where someone referred to a quad as training wheels. Another said if 4 wheels are better than 3, 3 must be better than two.

Any other smart ass comback when someone brings up how dangeour trikes are?

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. Three wheels move the bowels.

You say I'm too poor to afford a quad and that's why I ride trikes? I say, I'm richer than you, these b!tches are paid for!

because quads get stuck all over the place in my pasture. Plain and simple

Trikes float by consistently and SOMEtimes pull them out...attitude dependent of course.
They quit bragging real quick.

hey did anyone see funny home videos tonight.

some idiot on a quad was dragging a marlin or swordfish, did a wheelie and almost stabbed himself

Quads are easy to get and you can make small payments , Most people in general make monthly payments on their new 4 wheeler through their bank or the dealership and not many really pay cash in full. In my view it can be harder to buy a trike than a new 2010 4 wheeler, you can't finance an ATC. Just because you own a trike doesn't mean you are poor, I choose the 3 wheels over 4 .

Four (4) is for the old and lazy, two (2) is for the young and crazy, three is for the real men.

Gayest thread ever!

I always see people running there yaps on this subject all the time on here and it is getting old. Just read the description of the quad section or the title by my name, it's like a kick in the pants every day.

Look, I have been riding ATVs since the early 80s and suck with trikes till the early 90s. Why did I stop riding trikes? You can't race a trike in AMA racing, thats all there was to my decision.

I suppose it makes you all feel better bashing quads and I'm sure it will never end on this site but I look at the ones saying this crap as being butt hurt over a non issue

Just having a little fun Swigin, its typically the trike owner that is on the defence. I hear no end to the comments about death machines that should have been dismantled by the government. Doubt any of us actually have anything against quads, just ignorant people.

Swigin-- If I had the money, I would own a 4x4 quad, as well as my trike... Its just a ribbing, nothing personal...

swigin, its a 3 wheeler forum....
this is our only spot where we dont get judged for riding a trike. what do you expect. its all fun and games.
i get teased for liking "rice burner" cars all day long. so if i went to a rice burner forum and had a tease about muscle cars it would be my only opportunity.

Yea, my apologies Swingin, but I have to agree with the others who said that trike owners are usually on the defense, after all we do need to have a collection of answers to the barrage of questions that fly our way... I personally prefer bikes, and as far as atv's I do prefer trikes, mainly because they don’t rut up the trails quite as bad as and they can be a real handful to ride (especially the two strokes) I like having to use your weight as you do on both bikes and quads, you really do have to ride them, yes you have to ride quads as well, but you would have to be a fool not to admit that they are easier to ride (to me that equals less fun)

As for arguments that I’m sick of hearing, it’s the 2 stroke vs 4 stroke argument – I wish everyone would understand that they are two different machines, if they weren’t the AMA pro series wouldn’t force the 250 two strokes to run in the 450 class now would they?

Plenty of trike racing going on now though..Especially within a few hours of your house..So maybe you can store the quad and start racing trikes again.
Just for the record, I aint butthurt..I still have 3 quads that quite frankly I have to make it a point to ride them so they dont dry rot away, started on trikes went to quads and back to trikes.
They are just funner to ride.
It is almost a job to keep the quads fresh.

Best I've heard lately is "I wouldn't ride one of those (trikes) because all the people who ride them are fuggen crazy"

Swigin does understand this is a three wheeler board and we bash the quads like the other boards bash trikes?
I have a quad also (well actually two, seems my parts quad can be running for $200 now that I looked into it) And i'll still bash them, it's all good.

Dammit!

I never really get the attitude you're talking about. People are always interested when I show up at places with my R. Most say it's cool. Alot of them say they used to have one back in the day and wish they hadn't sold it. And I get a lot of offers to buy.

Another person said you can't turn a trike. The misinformation just abounds.

All the kids in my welding class give me crap about it, and a classmate who has a new KFX400. I just tell them "your quad has the safety package--Another wheel!". They usually shut up when they see the mods though.

I just found out a kid who lives about a mile from me has an 86 250r honda in mint condition with the tiger striped seat fabric, was out where I ride in the back of his truck all day while he road a quad, when I saw him I asked how much for it and he said never going to sell it do you know how hard it was not to slap him down and take the trike, only reason I didn't was I already had two in the back of my truck

same here! happened a couple times just this weekend..... its cool because perfect strangers will walk up to me and strike up a conversation that tends to go on and on, lol! never happens when im riding my Suzuki Quadsport though, just when im out on the R, go figure......honestly, i cant put my finger on an instance where somebody was seriously slammin my trike, just some friendly ribbing, all in good fun...

Sandy Hall coined my favorite term for quads at TF - "Squares".

I have since been referring to them as squares - it sounds cool to me.

People's attitudes towards trikes will never change. People in this day and age do not rely on real life experience to determine their opinions - they rely on media and what everyone else says. Which is fine with me - more trikes for us!!!

To a quad rider that's downed a trike. "You'll only be able to see 2 of the wheels when we get into the woods". I wouldn't say that but some of you fast guys could say it then back it up. I'll just keep my mouth shut and hope my old body makes it back to the truck.
