    And they say 3 wheelers are dangerous

    My 200s has never tried to run me over. I was working on my 250 quadsport project, I got it running pretty good, I thought I would put it in 1st and walk beside it to move it instead of pushing it back under the shed, well the idle is too high so when I put it in gear it took off across the yard with me chasing it. Good thing my house was here to stop it.

    That looks just like my old house in Mtn View.

    I tried to walk beside my jd tractor to adjust the carb.

    Front tire hit a rock and it turned on me.
    Almost ran myself over.
    AnOther rocket scientist started my atc 90 with a little kid on it
    and it was in gear, kid had the throttle ON.
    It took off in 3rd gear and ran UP some evergreen branches that happened to be
    long enough to be hanging to the ground so she ran it up the tree about 6 feet.

    Why are any of us still here, is my question.
