    The video is the 8th picture down the page, right above where it says "the test". It has a bunch of trikes from Trikefest.

    I wished they'd race it against that 350x they redone
    I didn't want to shoot that man but he heard that I was fast you know hat liqueur gave him the courage that put him in the ground

    Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!

    I have to say I am throughly impressed, and I absolutely loved the fact that it was stressed that you need seat time to learn to ride these things properly. Very, very well done, and I am seriously looking forward to the 200X videos, whenever they come. I've been spreading the link to the video around like wildfire, and getting some very positive responses from people who had little to no interest in these machines. You guys do wonderful and I keep watching these over and over. The action shots are so very well done.

    I tell you what, as long as I have been playing around with various powersports toys from sleds, to bikes to wheelers, it never ceases to amaze me how fast the R evolved. From the last year of the 1st gen in '82 to the first year 3rd gen in '85, it's hard to imagine how much changed in just 3 model years. Talk about an industry on fire!

    One can only imagine how much further it would have gone had the CPSC not stepped in. Such a machine that never had the chance to evolve further could have been monstrous.

    Not to say any of the 3rd gen's aren't. Hell, I'm afraid to jump on one. I'm working my way slowly up haha.

    @Rob

    Awesome riding as always. These few videos I've seen you in, you never fail to impress me. All the ATC videos ATV on Demand did that you featured in I have spread around and quickly pointed out:

    "That! That is how you f****ing ride a three wheeler!"
