The way this guy talks I have ask what exactly what his riding skills are. Also would be curious to see what he thinks is a good bike. As far as three wheelers are concerned he obviously never rode anything like a 200X, 250R, 350X etc. Because these where far superior to the non suspension (110's etc) that he is refering to.
These misconceptions are why our 3-wheelers where banned. Grant they are not as safe as other bikes but eveything has limitations.
Just my 2 cents.

That hurts.

I enjoyed reading about the others though, esp the CZ 250 lol.

**Hoodlum** · 10-19-2003, 01:27 PM

He's a moron :?: to say "any 3wheeler". What a general statement. To compare the 250R's & 350X's & Tri-Y's to the 90's & 110's??? Geez!

That's about as fair of comparison as comparing the odessey's of old to the more recent Pilot's.

It's hard to believe he "writes" articles for such a site.

He called us "savvy". Baaawahahaha

Yeah that really pisses me off. You know...its bad enought that that CSPC made them look bad when they were in production. Now its been over 15 years since they production has stopped and you still have people bashing them.

Maybe it was a joke though...I mean if they considered 3 wheelers dirt bikes with just an extra wheel then I guess you could joke a bit.

Dirt bike has always been harsh on ATV's..which is strange since High Torque Publishing (I believe) owned both. Tom Webb was editor of both Dirt Wheels, 3 & 4 Wheel Action, and Dirt Bike. Tom spent alot of time on high performance trikes in the mid eighties.

Who knows?

**Hoodlum** · 10-19-2003, 01:43 PM

Holy shiat! You follow all that closely eh?

I've just always loved 3 wheelers (riding my friends) and had dirt bikes. Sold the bikes when I had kids. When I finally had a chance to pick up another bike, I found a really nice 350X for what I thought was cheap, so, of course I jumped on it.

I'm active on some Toyota Offroading boards so I decided to look for a 3wheeler board for some tech answers and found this. I'm a NEWBIE!! :bounce

This has been posted before...and of course I strongly disagree with that nutsack. He's probably never set his trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro on a trikes seat before :evil:

**Russell 350X** · 10-19-2003, 08:50 PM

That asshole should die. He prolly has never sat his stupid ass in a trike seat before. He's prolbly to much of a wimp to lol. What an ass.....

**cew73** · 10-19-2003, 09:12 PM

That's "Super Hunky" Rick Sieman that wrote that. Anyone familiar with dirt bike magazine should be familiar with Super Hunky. I always enjoyed reading his stuff in years past. You can bet he's rode many, many different machines.

When I read that, I was upset too. not because he doesn't like 3-wheelers, but because people have used his article as expert testimony against 3 wheelers. I think it's the infamous Bennett law firm in houston that says his article is what the "dirt bike industry really thinks of 3 wheel ATVs". Which is not true, it's what "Super Hunky Rick Sieman thinks of 3-Wheel ATVs". Thats what I hate about it, the way it's twisted around. Other than that, in my opinion the article is pretty funny in the usual Super Hunky tradition. Still though, 3wheelers are not "dirt bikes" and should have never been included in that. He gave ammunition to the enemy. I can't believe he would let it be used by ambulence chasing lawyers or anybody esle against off-road sports.

Hmm, i saw the same thing in a thing on the bennett website that was an article clipping from dirtwheels magazine. Oh well, we all know that the thing about 3 wheelers is wrong, no point in getting mad about something that you know isnt true.

Why is everyone placing such a high value on an article written by a guy whose named after man juice? :-D

Thats a joke. Its folks like that who make 3 wheelers sound bad. :evil:

**Red Rider** · 10-20-2003, 09:36 PM

We can all thank people like Rick (author of article), and the thousands of lawsuit happy non-riding losers for the ultimate demise of the 3 wheeler. Thankfully, the sport is still alive & well, especially in this forum.
