Unsafe at any speed

[TimSr]

Dont SAY anything. There is as much nonsense and ignorance on this subject that comes out of the mouths of both sides, that neither has any credibility any more. Talk is cheap.

Take him riding for a day and demonstrate that you can enjoy yourself on 3 wheels, by riding safely and responsibly. Experience, either by riding, or witnessing first hand is the only way to combat ignorance.

When someone says the 3wheelers are unsafe i always tell them "3wheelers are only as dangerous as the person riding them, just like anythingelse people ride or drive. Also, you don't put a small young kid that is 8 to 12 years old on a machine that is not made for him or a machine that is too big for him."

alot of the guys i ride with have not been around 3wheelers much also,,, they all ask why i still ride that thing??? i say well i have a YFZ 450 at home in the garage but i like this thing better!!! usually by the end of the day they can see why too!!

Cool, Thanks for all the replys, looks like we have a common nerve..ignorance. The naderesqe kid I was talking about is actually a really good kid, and I think he's just repeating what he was told. So he's respecting what he was taught and he hasn't had any experience with trikes yet. Taking him riding is a good idea, if I'd let anybody else ride it!

i dont let anybody ride my 350X except for my cuzin (hes 25 and owend 2-250R's) and my uncle , (hes 45 and is wise about ridin) i dont let anybody else ride my machine in fear that they will get hurt thinking they instantly know how to operate it , when i jump off my 350X on to a shee , i love the power , but theres just no rush , but i like all three ,bikes , trikes , and quads

lettin him ride with ya is a good idea

[trikerider2oo7]

just like at trikefest...i saw a kid on the big race track on a 250 trail blazer and he could barely touch the tips of his toes on the pegs. that it what gets things banned. some kid doing that is going to wreck and their parents are going to file a lawsuit because they let their kid ride something that was too big for them.

I was riding this last weekend (3 3Wheelers, 2 Quads) and on my 200x/s I was keepin up on the straights w/ the 450. I don't know if it was lack of skill of the 450 rider or what but we got back and I was gettin' props on my riding skills. I never brag or tell anyone which is safer. BUT, when someone says something about them being dangerous, I just say: "It takes skill doesn't it? I guess that makes me more skilled." Afterwhich they ALLWAYS "lower there head" and agree with me.

[Yamada]

I agree with you atcpunk107. The experience make the difference. I grow up on trike and I learned from my mistakes and I now knoe my limits. They think that 4 wheels are better then four, but it's totally false.

[RedRider_AK]

I think a dirt bike is more dangerous than a trike. Tell him that if he dont shut up, youll cut his paycheck by half.

Well, since your in the mood to wake up a thread about a year old, Perhaps I will join you in being an idiot;

Yessim sir, dem der tree wheelas are tippy as soon as ya git on em! Dontcha go even sittin on it or you be gittin hurt.

[RedRider_AK]

Perhaps I will join you in being an idiot;

What's so wrong with reviving an old thread? Why the need to be an asshole?

[LonesomeTriZ]

How do you all deal with massive ignorance?

You shoot them and be done with them.
