    would these trikes be legal if we rode them backwards?

    There's some new stuff out there with 2 front and one rear wheel.

    I have a64 harley golf cart 2 stroke that uses the fact that a 2 stroke will run BACKWARDS to, well, go backwards as in reverse...strangest thing I've ever seen.

    so maybe the 250 r's are ALmost legal if you ...oh never mind.

    I just got tired of being so serious all day.

    I'm just thinking seriously now.
    Ya know how ridiculous some laws are?

    motorized bikes are legal IF you have foot pedals on them so they are classified as moped.

    they put pedals on vespa looking scooters fer goshsakes. impossible to pedal but makes them freakin legal to ride without a license.

    maybe Ill put a bicycle pedal crank on my b red...maybe on the handlebars.

    I got pulled over for no helmet once ..but I WAS wearing it on my left knee and the cop couldn't give me a ticket.

    I remember a magazine (maybe Dirtwheels) back in the 80's when the quad conversion kits came out, they put one on eother a Yamaha Big Wheel or a Honda Fat Cat and did a 3 vs 4 vs Reverse 3 shootout. Anyone else remember that?
