1984 Honda 200s

[Khtome]

Ive been reading alot of this web site since Easter. I bought a 1984 honda 200s. I flipped it a month ago when I couldnt make a hill. I was sitting there engine running on this steep hill and i tried to take off in 1st gear and bike flipped on me. I had like 17 miles to get to my vehicle alot of it very challenging terrain. With a very sore back on a bike with no suspension. Rode it today for the first time since. It was AWESOME.

Upload it to a site like photobucket and copy the thing to post it on forums. Should start with something like [IMG].

They are fun, but make sure you keep the balloon type tires or you will regret it. I didnt know it and replaced my tires on my 85 200s and still regret it. Plus the balloon tires are cheaper than the ones i bought. If not, its a rough ride. Then i found this site and my trike knowledge expanded tremendously.

I also gave up on climbing on my 200s, you bounce around like crazy going fast up big rocky hills.

Pretty hard to avoid climbing hills around here. I know when I flipped and after my friend helped me flip wheeler back over I walked beside the thing slapping the throttle til i got to flat ground. Hopefully wont be in that position again. I think I got into trouble because I was riding with more capable machines trying to keep up and wasnt in the right gear to climb.

That is the only time i have wrecked on a 3 wheeler. Trying to keep up with bigger 4 wheelers. Really hard with no suspension. Have only been injured (more than scrapes and bruises) on 4 wheelers oddly enough though. Because i push them a lot harder. So i got rid of the 4 wheels like i should and got another trike, but with full suspension. And hydraulic disc brakes. Big plus.

Sounds like the Cadilac of trikes

Not really, just a 200x. But still a huge improvement from what i had.
