Well, being new to the sport I am an inexperienced 3 wheel rider. Mostly limited to running around a few trails and snow covered fields..

Many riders brag about their 3 wheelers 'going places that most 4 wheelers can't'..I thought they were mostly blowing wind.

Well this weekend was my 1st real test..my folks own 50plus acres along a river valley, all treed and a major spring flood zone with no paths. I have gone there with my 4WD with limited success, but this time I took my 3 wheeler. Incredible in this terrain. Cutting between and over trees , thru deep soft mud, tight spaces all that I would have had to get off and assist my 4wheeler thru..

Awesome fun..I am officially converted and a disciple to the 3 wheel gods!!

Now, does anyone want to buy a perfectly decent Honda 4WD? I need to make more room for 3wheelers...:lol:

I'm hearing you. Something in that. How I ended up with two of the things has got me stumped. But the sad thing about that is, I'm always on the lookout for more.......

Funny thing is, when they multiply I have noticed my bank account disappearing! I spend so much time looking for them, I fear that I will end up on that show "Intervention" someday. I am on the lookout for film crews showing up and following me around claiming to be doing a documentary on 3 wheelers!:wondering Congrats on your new found love, and good luck selling the 4wd, and beware of film crews!!!!!

Three wheelers certainly are addictive. I bought one two years ago to get around on the lake for ice fishing. Now i have a couple more, and have spent countless hours and dollars on them. I was even comissioned by a friend to build him a 200x. The day I dropped it off to him was like a little kid at christmas.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the addictive nature of these machines. They should come with a warning label about this as they do about their safe operation.

By the way, anyone know where I can get a nice 83/84 ATC110? I already posted on the classified board..but no response so far. I missed one the other day on craigslist..excellent condition for $700..

What is a good price?
