    I think the magazine has done a good job over the years with supporting three wheelers. I'm sure most people on this site had a subscription in the 80's. I remember impatiently waiting for the next issue to come out! It's good that the paper magazine can still survive in a mostly electronic environment these days. There is still a special charm about seeing this stuff in print.

    It's good that Dirtwheels is showing a renewed interest in 3 wheelers, but if memory serves I don't remember them putting up an aggressive defense of 3 wheelers back in the 80s when they were being attacked by the media and trial lawyers. I've been collecting quite a few issues from the mid 80s--one's that I stupidly through out back then--and I have yet to read a strongly worded editorial defending them. They wrote as if the death of 3 wheelers was a done deal and celebrated the rise of the quad. I like quads too but it would have been nice to see a more strenuous defense of trikes. It may not have have stopped the consent decree but it is a matter of principle. Imagine what kind of machines we would be seeing today if 3 wheelers had continued to evolve for 30 years.

    Anyone "in the know" by spring 85,,knew what was soon to be inevitable. The teams, the racers and obviously the press.The tide was too strong.I'm not defending DW .. But there was simply no other way to calm the media frenzy against 3 wheelers Sad times for sure..
    Please help those who cannot help themselves.

    ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.

    I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!

    While I in no way represent Dirt Wheels Magazine, or Hi-Torque publications, it seems that the magazines have been very kind to the three-wheeler community, allowing us to scan and share old issues from the 80s. Make no mistake about it though, They would not tolerate people scanning and posting current issues to the internet.

    As a content producer I can tell you that what you asking for breaks copyright laws and is illegal period!

    We all like free stuff but that is stealing. Would you mind if someone just went in your garage and borrowed one of your machines and just took it for a ride since they didn't want to pay for their own?

    Wow, I'm glad to see some positive posts about Dirt Wheels on the web forums! I've held a subscription to the magazine since 1982 and have enjoyed every issue. Most of the negitive stuff I see about this magazine is the same stuff I see about other magazines I also subscribe to: not enough coverage of this or how come you don't put any of this brand/type/year (insert your favorite atv here). That is not what these magazines are about. They are about what is going on in the hobby- atv life style! I was getting sick of reading negitive comments about UTV's in DW. Well, wake up and smell the coffee, UTV's are what is booming in the ATV industry right now! Likewise, the market for sport quads has all but fallen-off again, so DW went looking for what is going on in the hobby and found that people are buying and restoring/building older stuff. So far this year DW has had articles on 2-stroke quads- builds as well as 2 vs. 4 stroke! Now this issue- look, they dug around and found that the 3-wheeler community is thriving and they have some cool stuff going on! DW has never abandoned 3-wheelers, it's just that the magazine is kind of the "pulse" of the atv hobby and 4-wheelers and now UTV's are the "hot" thing. There may not be great coverage of 3-wheelers in the mag year-round, but I bet if I went back through all my issues over the last few years, I bet I can find at least 4 issues a year that mention 3-wheelers in them. May not be articles, but a editorial, reader's letter, parting shot or over-the-bars will make reference to them!

    I don't think they would say anything about the cover, just the content inside. The cover is on display, which draws you in to see the rest.

    You friggin crack me up..Not in a good way.
    You piss and moan about Obama giving certain ethnic groups hand outs all over the place...piss and moan that tracks letting trikes race are only in it for profitability.... Then make snide remarks about what people have poured their heart and soul into to give back to the forum , by putting their name or stickers on a machine , product or service to give to members...then turn around and piss and moan about nobody uploading pics of a 4.50$ issue of dirt wheels so you can view for it for free while you pump your penis....
    Quite frankly , I find it conviently ironic that not one word of this forum was mentioned in all the positive coverage in the last issue...well maybe not...since most of the sick you post on this forum would barely make a readers letter in Hustler magazine.....
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    Got my issue today, and I'm in love with all the 3 wheelers!!! So many in the Reader's Rides section! Used to be a lot of 3 wheelers in the Reader's Rides section about 12 years ago.
