    MAN... I just hope no one changes the 12oz class rules.. LMAO

    This is the 1st year i have ran my Tecate.. I had a blast, the guys that stepped up to run the event did an awesome job!! This is their show this year again, lets have the rules and run w/ what THEY have decided will make their job easier to inspect and run the event..

    I have been to all the TRIKEFESTS held so far.. Ive seen it grow from 13 guys camping together and 1 guy cooking for everyone to what it has become..

    No one gets paid for this, its a volunteer only kind of thing.. I'm sure the guys running would love some help w/ it.. i have said from the 1st year we organized events the best way to become a volunteer is to complain about the past years event.. EVERY rule can be arguied, every decision can be speculated on..

    This is TRIKEFEST... its about riding trikes w/ FRIENDS!! Lets have fun, ride the events and continue to prove that trikes RULE

    SEE YA AT TF12

    I agree with Mik6!!

    I also want to add: If you "Think" you can do better then step up take charge and run that part of the show!! You can deal with all the complaints about this or that. It will never be perfect to everyone at the same time and be fun.

    There will be rule changes made year after year. Some good and some not so good, but it is all done for the greater good of Future Trikefest and our comunity as a whole.

    Since there will obviously be many more bikes in the "modified class due to class re-structuring. May i suggest that to have a more active "open class". That anyone that sees a need to run an out frame pipe on a 2stroke, or a swingarm length in excess of 6" be automatically advanced to that class. My definition of a modified machine includes one that can still be used in a normal and routine way, but with a strong emphasis on engine performance. Any machine that is thought to need longer than a 6", and require an outframe pipe to achieve ones goal, seriously compromises the do it all nature of a strong running yet somewhat trail friendly 3wheeler. "open class machines are designed to do one thing well. Go fast in a straight line. With the builder knowing that either of those modifications comes with compromise. The proposed rule changes of the "stock class can't go forward, without regard given to the classes in front of it. I would be fine with modified suspension components as well. Such as inverts, and aftermarket rear links, shocks and components. However, changes in the frames geometry as in steering angle, sub-frame relocation and alterations should be considered NON REVERSIBLE, and an automatic bump up. These types of changes to the frame require a lot of talent, and a builder knowing the the perceived advantages of doing so. Just a few of my thoughts...........

    well i think we are going in the right direction here. i can tell you internal engine mods such as big bores and strockers are realy limited by the stock carb and air box. these componats were olny designed to flow so much air. i say do what you want inside the engine but stock on the out side is what counts. we need this to be fair i know we all like to win but we have to think about the stock machines and quit beating them up in there classes and alow them to have a chance. after all this is just for fun. you have to admit these guys are doing a fine job and hey these rule changes are coming out way eariler than ever before so lets build these bikes to the rules and have fun at tf 2012.

    I have a few questions regarding the new stock class rules.

    I understand stock jug and airbox. Does it have to have a stock swinger? If not what is the max length?

    Also do these changes this apply to the 350x class?

    Stock jug, air box, CARB AND HEAD...2-stroke stock!
    You can have up to a +4 in swinger in stock class....for some reason
    I don't THINK this applies to 350x.
