    Because many people still believe trikes are too danderous. Ignorance at it's best is all I can say. :shock:

    drones

    Because they are good little worker drones that have been trained to believe what they see on TV even over thier own experiances.

    Think about when you saw something for yourself, first hand, then later saw it on TV.
    Did they get it right?
    Transfer that to all the other stuff you didn't see first hand.

    Sad But True.

    Kill Your Television!

    I have two three wheelers both 200 es and I hear this all the time,that they are so dangerous. Then I ask them if three wheels are bad that must mean two wheels are even worse. I have both and do not tip over on either. My daughters are learning to ride and in low /first gear well nothing but fun can happen.BC

    Here, in the small town I live, people don't say that very often....most of the people seems OK with it. But, there are some old guys that just sh*t on the trikes that pass near their house...it's just too bad.

    Real shame.

    I am the only person in my area with trikes. There are two 300EX's and a off brand sport quad near me, but I still beat on the straight away with my 84 250R, and they are all afraid to try to take the curves as fast as I do on my tippy trike.
    84 ATC200X--Wife rode it once, now I can't get it back.
    84 ATC250R--Trying to find piston for 300R kit.
    85 ATC350X--Project finally under way, slow progress. For pics: http://groups.msn.com/ATCfriends/350xproject.msnw
    84 ATC200S--Freebie from a neighbor, needs topend rebuild and tires.

    people don't like trikes because they have no taste. trikes are nicer, faster, cooler, and not as many people have them.
    Current rides:
    85 Honda 200x -- For Sale
    86 Honda 200x
    79 Honda Z50 minibike

    If speed kills......I'm a dead man!
