Trikes are dangerous LOL

[Xpress]

One time I was riding my 110 in my backyard at my old house, and I tried to pull a wheelie. I feel on my back, and the 110 slowly crept forward on 2 wheels. Now that was funny

So i was brush crashing putting a trail up the side of a old hydraulicly mined valley. basicly theres steep hills, then benches, and a bout 5 of those pairs. it took a few trys kissing the headlite and gunning it to get up the first hill (i had to cave in the old ditches they used to carry water on every hill). i finaly got to the top of the hill and ended up on tundra with all those lumpy grass things and swamp. as i was riding, i all the sudden dropped nose down, and came to a halt with my tires spinning. turns out i drove over some really weird tiny ravine thing 20 feet deep, and got caught in the alders at the top. so i get off the trike all quick like and get back onto the tundra.. then it falls through the alder. it fell pretty hard and cracked plastics and bent the axle on the right side, and bent the right handle bar almost 90 degrees to the rider. naturaly, im 15ish miles from the cabin when this happens, so i climbed down, and pulled the rope. started right up. just did some more brush crashing through the bottom of the ravine with he handle bars and axle, then got out in the the river and rode it down to where the road crossed (a small shallowish river with lots of big boulders in it) and limped it home. alders have saved my life on a bike and trike many times... damn oversized weeds.

Today i took mine for a spin down to my buddies like 2 miles down road and about 3/4 of the way there i feel a weird bump in trike. So i look down don't see anything so i smash the throttle in and all of a sudden it stalls and everything locks up in rear end and sends me skidding down road. Once stopped i realized chain tensioner was in many pieces mangled under trike and my case is cracked! So i get my axle to move and have a fun mile and a half back to my house most of it being up hill!

I swear one of mine tried to knife me in the back the other day. I turned my back and bent down to pickup a screw driver and I felt something brush quickly across my back. Stood up and looked forward to see a 7 inch steak knife quivering in edge of the work bench. The trike and I were the only ones in the shed. I'm just saying is all.

forgot my favorite rookie wreck.

Puttering around the field, I came upon some old growth hay, say 9 feet tall and about 50 feet long by the creek.

slowly I figured I could just mash it down and get thru it.

Well about 1/2 way thru , as the grass laid down, the angle of the mashed grass increased to over 45 degrees and yes, it did roll over on me but it was like I was in a dream and landed softer than 4 feet of cotton. Pretty sure that was a 90 so I didn't feel a thing.

but

it kept rolling, righted itself, and idled right into the creek before I could chase and stop it.

THAT's how I know they float

neighbors turn now.

GF and I are sitting nice quiet evening, looking over the pasture towards the river a couple hundred yards away.

I remember saying I didn't ever remember a light in the trees like "that"...ufo style.

Looked like a fancy up light you'd see in a fancy garden to illuminate statues and stuff, but the nearest anything is way over 1/2 mile away.

Lo and behold, a few minutes later, the neighbor is walking towards us.

He (we) never walk anywhere since we are trike addicts, so that was odd by itself.

Apparently, cruising the river trail, he clipped a sawed off log, kick the rear sideways and perfectly, backed down the almost vertical embankment at least 18 feet to the waters edge.

After we checked for bleeding and breaks, and stopped laughing, we got the 100 ft towrope over a tree branch to get the angle right and the tractor and pulled it out of there.

Why? are any of us still alive?
