    Went on my first trail ride today on my 200x!

    I finally got the 200x running again and a few friends and I went up to one of the only local trail spots this morning. The 200x did great except for having almost no rear brakes and it has a very hard time finding first....you have to really jam it to go into first. I had a blast and everyone else was on dirtbikes (they think I am crazy for riding 3-wheelers haha). I have some more pics and will upload them later.

    Good stuff man. That's what it's all about - actually riding these things and enjoying yourself.

    It was so much fun, I hadn't ridden a trike in many many years but I hopped on and it was like nothing had changed. Just sliding around all the turns, man wish I was still riding.

    Kenda front max 23x8-11. They also make the stock size 23.5x8-11. That is an awesome tire, and works great for all enviornments.
