    would you buy an atc someone was killed on?

    i've been looking for a 250r 85' or 86' and ive found one but there is something stopping me. #1 im on probation and cant leave the state to go get this thing and #2 the guy said the kid that had it before him rolled it over and killed himself. he had it for about a year now and it has been good to him. i've heard all about its how you ride and this and that, so i'm not worried about riding unsafe im worried about ...a curse or something. i talked to a buddy of mine who worked at a harley dealer and the one guy there had a harley that a guy was killed on. later on that guy was killed on the same bike. you dont always know the past history about your machine but if you do know someone was killed on it wouldnt it be in your head every ride? what would you do?? have someone go get the 250r for me since i cant leave the state or look for another one.

    life is too short for superstitious bullcrap. If it was a good deal I would but a 3 wheeler that stuck wide open and killed an entire preschool class of toddlers out for a walk and then flipped 27 times killing every person within a half mile and then landed on my grandmother and killed her too....twice

    . screw it

    and technically speaking the dude was probably killed by hitting the ground. The poor 3 wheeler just got the blame, as usual

    Wouldn't slow me down for a second. It's not the trike's fault.

    I agree who's to say some of us don't unknowingly have a trike someone died using? Its a sad story but it could have been 100% the riders fault( just take a peek at the trike ban list), people die in cars, trains plains, on quads, dirt bikes, sleds, etc. In this case someone died on a 3 wheeler. I say get it.

    Sounds like a good way to negotiate a better price.

    Stuipid people are born and die every day, trikes were discontinued 20+ years ago and die every day! Do the math! One of the two are becoming slim pickings!
