    whats you most worst trike accident?

    the only real accident i had was on my 85 350x this trike belong to my farther (whos past away long time ago) this trike was in immaculate condition oem everything one day i went ridding practicing my wheelies on asphalt of course (more grip) was getting cocky and tried to see how close my grabbar would touch the asphalt.So when i down shifted to pull i under estimated how much power it had when i down shifted (was in 3 gear going down to 2) i pushed on the throttle and i lost my grip on the handle bars so when the trike when up i fell down in the process of me falling down the trike fell on top of me some how i manage to push the trike.but in the process of doing that the trike cought grip from the tires and then i started to roll i rolled about 3-4 times (my foot got cought in the peg) so i rolled with it ended up on the side of the road the trike was upside down and i was eating dirt i got up to find every piece of plastic was cracked into oblivion there was plastic every where so i was in cruches for about 2 weeks bad ankle.. not fun lol

    When I was 7 my mom and stepdad took their honeymoon up north to our cabin.... He wrecked the 200s and broke his back. Was night, had been drinking, had his sister riding on the back and hit some soft sand. Lots of fail there.

    My first wreck was my only wreck. (so far...) It was just two weekends ago. Rolled my '84 Big Red. I did the classic "tuck & roll" and came away without a scratch. No bruises.

    My last non-trike wreck was on a dirt bike. I went over the handle bars on that one. Hundreds and hundreds of acres, and I had to run into the one and only other dirt bike on the trails. My brother. He stayed on the bike - but came away with bent forks.

    Wife says I am getting too old for this.

    Mine was on my 250sx that I used to have. I tried to go up a steep hill, the sx just didn't have it in her. I didn't have a front brake so I slammed the rear brake (big mistake) so the trike flips over backwards but luckily I just jumped backwards and it was no big deal. Bent up my bars, broke the key, another dent for the gas tank, and another crack in the fenders. All in all it wasn't too bad-I didn't actually get hurt. Monroe Mike got the joy of witnessing it; it was within the first 10 minutes of riding.

    Worst accident on a trike was on a 350x, was riding around freinds house (his 350x) and got cloths lined by a pine tree limb. I was fine, trike was fine, tree not so much haha of course i wasnt going slow, wind was knocked out of me but fine. wrost accident ever was on my fat cat, hit a soft mud puddle on a corner, and went down hard and rolled off a ditch into a rocky stream. I was banged up, but the bike was fine! Bikes before broken bones!

    Worst Trike Crash: About 15 seconds into my first Tecate ride in 85, I looped it at WOT in fourth gear on a gravel road wearing corduroys and a t-shirt (still picking gravel out of my ass)
    Worst Quad Crash: Full speed endo on a Quadsport when I was flying across a cornfield and my front wheels dropped into an irrigation ditch (broken ankle)
    Worst Dirt Bike: (RM 250)Over corrected a bad cross rut and ended up landing ass first (still have a pretty good limp on damp days)
    Worst Street Bike: (85 Yamaha 700X Maxim) Ran off the road by an idiot and lost it in the median, I escaped with a serious grass stain but the bike ended up bouncing off a couple trees (speedometer needle was crushed at 60 and the trees were about 100 yards from where I left the pavement)
    Worst Motor vehicle: 86 Toyota pickup end over end

    Most embarrassing: (75 Sportster) Hitting an oil patch and sliding through the intersection in front of the police station in Wellsboro, PA

    And many honorable mentions

    my worst trike wreck that I remember,I was blazing through a woods trail as fast as my ole yt175 would go and hit a small tree with the right handlebar.I got shot off of coarse but the trike being the faithful machine it always was, decided to follow me or jump on top of me. I rode home steering with my left hand with what was left of the right side in my hand. not my worst crash but probably worst on a trike
