Why do you own more than one trike?

[Yamaha_Rules69]

The more I get, the better it is! I have 21 I believe, counting the "dead" ones and the frames. I agree that every one has its purpose, depending on the situation. Its really good to have parts machines and parts laying around, nothing better than that when something breaks.

Like the other members said, they all have their purposes. I use my Big Red for yard work and easy riding, my 350x for riding with the boys, my red 83 70 is my sons first ride, and my xmas 70 is just fun to ride and have.
I want and need more, just dont have the space and cash right now.

[dream3wheeler]

ive got 2 right now, it makes me feel like one of you guys and its just a fun hobby. by the time i die i want to have my own collection of mint trikes, and have owned every honda trike ever made.

[atc350xer]

I agree they each have their particular uses, and in my opinion, they have their own personalities... seems alot of us even name them
A huge part of it for me is nostalgia... I miss the 80's

[big red hemi]

my 85 big red for muding easy riding with my 2 year old and launching my seadoo at the lake.
my 200x is for pure fun. going fast jumping snow riding.

i guess i need more trikes cause the 2 i own are stretched pretty thin

Because I'm afflicted with some sick disease called, trikaholism. I'm lead to believe it afflicts people mostly born in the 60's and 70's. A time when free citizens had many rights no longer present in contemporary life.

It is a twisted disease that gives it victims feelings of euphoria every time they purchase a three wheeled machine or spend time honing the unique riding techniques to master said machine. After experiencing this rush the sufferer can no longer find enjoyment in other types of main stream hobbies.

Some sufferers can get some enjoyment out of Buggies, Bikes, Beer, Babes, Boobs, Booze and or Quads, but in the end the victim always comes back to the humble trike. It is a cruel disease as it has the ability to ostracize the sufferer from main stream pastimes and hobbies, reducing many to underground activities such as internet groups and annual festivals or gatherings designed to share these feelings of euphoria with other sufferers.

Sadly there is no know cure.......

Two each for each family member, whether they'll ride them or not.

I have two 250sx machine because I love trail riding and everything is better when you add a girl. So I have my Bike and my girl.....then there is the 200M which is fitted with a kolpin gun case, chainsaw holder and a bow holder. He is my hunting trike. The 185s was bought because my Dad is a pack rat and simply did not want to dig through the garage to remove his 4x4 from the back, and the 250es was purchased because my Dad was jealous that my 250sx machines had reverse and the 185s did not !!

Two trikes and a 83 Yammi moped with a tri-zinger cylinder on it; just because it has two wheels doesn't mean it can't be a three wheeler at heart lol. They are like potato chips, can't stop at only one!!!

[TatTooL23]

im just addicted to off road vehicles i think. i love it. I dont need them all by any means but i do plan on having them in my man cave eventually, nicely displayed.

I CURRENTLY own:

-An all original MINT condition 1982 Honda 185S
-A 1986 Honda 350X great/perfect shape but is my rider everything works as it should
-A 1987 Honda 200X that is 85% original, just the seat and tires are not. its in great condition, but was a rider, not anymore

-I have 4 1985 Honda Odyssey FL350's, 2 need plenty of work but r all there, one is about 90% mint and upgraded everything, and the other 80% mint and original

-A 2005 Honda TRX450R completely stock 100% MINT maybe 10 hours on it
-A 2006 Honda TRX450ER that is torn apart to be a TPC 450R when the frame kit arrives

I also have 2 Arctic Cat snowmobiles, and 2 go karts from before i got into the odysseys, lol. and a sea-doo jet boat. so yeah the recreational sports r my downfall!

[rdlsz24]

I just can't resist buying them not running when I see them for cheap. I like to get them back up and running again

I currntly have 12 hondas that run and 5,6 parts pikes maybe more . I have had as many as 26 running bikes but had to thin the herd a little $$ maintaning and storing can be expensive. but I cant wait for my next puchase ,hopeits a 85-86R but it depends on what i find and the price its the thrill of the hunt ! I think you need more then one for different riding and quest ,freinds /family . I love the hobby and love bringing the trikes back from near extinction ,basket cases ,barn finds its alot cheaper then my muslecars!!

[Brockey]

Because you can't get them new anymore, because I want to save them from death, my sons likes them, I grew up with them, I love them, others think Im nuts, my second 70 was a parts bike but turned out better than the first so now I am rebuilding the first one too. Lol, just some reasons.

thats my problem. I like collecting and fixing/working on old stuff be it trikes, quads, cars trucks ^^ I have 5 complete trikes now and another 1/2 complete parts trike. I just picked up another trx 250r yesterday just because i couldnt resist the good price and had the extra money.

[ironchop]

Why do you own more than one trike?

because they MADE more than one trike....that`s why
