Is there going to be a raffle trike this year.

[big specht]

Yea it’s advertised on bookface

[atc300r]

Nice I found it.I may have to buy some tickets for this one.

[big specht]

None of the powers in charge promote it on here anymore so you almost have to be on bookface or wait for some one else to say something about it on here.

Things are on plan.Many have stepped up to keep this tradition alive. Sad that is become more of a facebook than here where it started.
This should be a nice coordinated event, many have gotten involved. Looking forward !

Hello! Went on FB to find 3WW. Didn't see any posts related to TrikeFest 2023. I just restored my ATC200X. First trike owned for about 15 years when my sons were small. Anyway, very interested in this event. Firstly, where is Haspin Acres? Thank you.

The fact that “many have gotten involved” is the reason a lot of people have stopped attending…first year I went was 2011. Things aren’t the same any more.

People gave up on this very informative and well ran site for fakebook, that's why it's a ghost town here. It's also the reason quit a few of us won't go to Trike Fest anymore. Fakebook is the problem, not the solution.

I completely agree. FB has killed so many useful forums for ATV's and similar interests.

It's sad, one day this site will be gone, along with all of the good information that has built up here over the years. Pictures from activities, races, rides and people that are no longer with us will all be gone because the majority of people jumped ship to go with the next new thing that "everyone" is doing.

I was thinking of jumping in the boxvan and heading to Haspin…1st time Im not committed to something this weekend.

Well I went only made 1day Saturday good crowd. It appeared as some long traveled trikers may have rolled out the morning I arrived, the core group was locked in and grooving the scene. Did the tour through town the bridge was full the people in town came out to participate and wave, capture a video. I bought my YZ426 to get the complete scope of Haspin Achers property. Played a bit on the 110 cruzz’d the lot talked with Kim, super nice regular marketing her brand, nice stuff. Spoke with the Honda Hoarder’s group obviously a lot of effort on their investment and sponsorship efforts. Parked next to Tylor a 2timer to the event and his steamroller 250R, good dude from Kentucky.

My review to be positive Yes Im glad I went. The crowd has certainly evolved and appears strong as ever.? I heard Howdy was around but I didn't run into him. It seams way less of a race crowd these days as the BigRed full mod was ever present. Don’t get me wrong plenty of drag machines… a $$$ class?? Idk missed it. I could complain even though management has changed at Haspin not much has changed. I counted 6 porto-let's none where I was told to camp. I guess tradition over-rules moving the Event for the sake of tradition. They did water the road ways to manage dust down by the pond area. I will say it’s cheaper in fraction compared to better facilities for example Mountain Ridge in Pa. I think most of the hardcore dudes from here stick to the TT-MX extreme racing. Catch ya there!

You all really missed out on a great Trikefest. It was the first time since 2019 that it was worth going to honestly. After last year I wasn't going to go to another one and decided to try it for one more year, And I am glad I did. I helped run the Mud Bog Competition and yes, there was cash prizes for winners of the events that came from event sponsors. t really was a nice organized event with alot going on. Got to watch Matt Keller get hitched by Raffa. The Management had a change of heart this year as well. They were much more accommodating. After this years success I am sure next year will be even bigger. Good times!
