Mine was last night..

Me on 200es big red
Friend on 200m
neighbor on 350 foreman
Other friend on kawa klt

Riding next to train tracks, on an anle, in 4th gear, hit a rut in the loose gravel and went head first into a 10 foot gully, stayed on all the way down, BUT rolled it over once at the botom...

Bent a few fingers while bailing, and i think i fractured a knuckle, i don't need no stinking doctor, i just " buddy taped " the worst finger to the one next to it and popped a few advils. be riding by the weekend.

Bike started right up tho..

[CHAINSAW]

Mine was my 8th grade graduation day, and had to of been like 1990 or so, when my parents gave me a 225DX. I didnt go more then 20 feet, went to turn around,.. goosed it and hit a chainlink fence. Now, about 14 years later, the small chip is still missing from my 225s front fender. Id fix it, but everytime I look at it, I remember how excited I was to get it that day, and how mad I was that I wrecked it so fast.

mine was at my new house about 2 months ago. i was just riding over the big dirt hills that where here from when diggin for the house, so i went over the big hill about 5 tiems then went for it again left wheel hit a rock and just launched me to the right, rolled rite down the hill( i was so worried about the brand new fenders) i was ok just a lil scratched up and the 200x just had some bent bars(replaced with oneals that have the same bend) and the rear brand new black fender just got a few scratches. so i guess i was pretty lucky.

Mine was late in the summer of 1982 because I had just gotten my new YT 175. My buddy Doug was on his ATC 185s and we were riding through an open field next to each other, but not going really fast.

We simultaneously hit a small ditch that had been overgrown with tall grass so we didn't know it was there until it was too late. We both went over the handlebars and our trikes landed more or less on top of each of us.

Once we realized what had happened and that neither of us was hurt we laughed so hard we could barely get up.

Not really anything exciting. It just drifted right into a small mesquite tree by the sandy trail. It was better than the cactus patch right past it though. Those thorns came out pretty easy compared to the cactus thorns.

My first wipe was on a 185 it didnt have brakes and my brother and i were flying down a gravel road and he puleld in front of me and it flipped and flew over me and i hit my head on a tree and nocked my self out for a bit. I broke my colar bone 3 days ago on a RM 125 so i know what your pain feels like Xowner

Worst crash, i was about 8 i think..going down this dirt road..it went straight down then striaght back up practically..(on the 200m) i thought i could make..got about half way up the other side...then it wheelied and fell back down on top of me...ouch that hurt...i got up, rolled the trike over and drove back home

[hondatrikesrule22]

Haven't wrecked anything YET.... I did hit a fence on my go-kart, no padding on the back support, broke the skin.

[ATC crazy]

My first was on my '87 SX the first year I got it. I was riding over at a friends house and there was a little stump it the trail that you had to strattle with your tires. Well...I forgot to do this and up on the side I went. I didnt roll it....I was going slow enough that it just layed on its side. That was my first and ONLY mishap that I have ever had on a trike...

[threewheelin-feelin]

welll i was riding my 84 200s on a gravel road and at the end there was pavement. i went to speen the back end around because there was some gravel on the pavement well it did a 180 grabed the pavement the front end came up and i ran right into a chainlink fence and layed it on its side. i think i burned my leg i cant remember. i picked it up it had turned off took about 2 or 3 pulls and it started back up and i was on my way.

My first flip was very early on. It was about 1985 and I was 4 years old. I always went on the big red with my dad so I saw him drive backwards lots of times. One day he took me out on the ytm 200 and let me drive it. Well I got too close to a tree and i didn't know how to switch gears (father put it in first for me) so i stopped before i hit the tree and gassed it thinking I was going to go backwards, lol, well I hit the tree with the right tire and rolled the bike over. My father darted to me but he said I was lying in the mud laughing.
My next real crash was when I was 13 and driving my fathers xl 250R and I hit a jump that was right by a ditch. I thought I would do a small jump and land well before the ditch ended, I was wrong I hit the jump and it was like slow motion looking down and seeing the ground and then the bottom of the ditch and then boooom, she rolled and flipped, not with me on it, I bailed at the last second. That 2 seconds seemed like 2 minutes though, lol. Barely did any damage and just hoped on and went home. None since then though, just keep on wearing my helmet waiting for the next. hahha

My first wreck on a trike was last year on my 110. I was looking at a hillclimb none of my friends would go up on their quads and it didn't look that bad at all. So kinda as a joke I said "Get out of my way, and I'll show ya how its done" Well as I held it wide open going towards the bottom I gotta different thought about it..."OH Sh#t!!!" I guess everything looks different when you're riding something. Well it was too late to back out and I just kept it ed. Soon as I got about half way up, I knew it was gonna happen, the front tire started lifting off and I stood up & leaned forward even more but I think that slowed down my reaction time because the next thing I know I see the trike in the air, land on the back rack (I'm on the ground at this time) then tip over sideways and the footpeg landed right square in my ankle and the gear lever went about an 1/8" in my skin and tore about a 3" strip of meat off. The footpeg did permanent nerve damage and I still can't feel the right side of my left foot.

My first quad wreck was a long time ago on a '88? Yamaha 350 Moto-4. I was pretty much wide open 5th gear on a good trail, saw a skidder rut, tried to miss the skidder rut (lol), but it was too late. Went up on a bank and flipped the 4-wheeler 3 times. I came off on the first flip but my leg kinda got caught between the fenders and frame. Hurt like a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro.

ive been lucky enough to never have a mishap but ive been close, one time me and my dad just went for a quick ride (no helmets ) and we where coming back home from the woods and there is a curve on the road we were on and he (on his bayou) punched it and me (on my 200X) knew he couldnt beat me so i punched it too, well when we came up on the corner dad had enough sense to slow down while i stayed in the gas way too long. i came up on the curve in the middle of 5th gear and my X just wouldnt turn no matter what i did and if i went straight i wouldve hit a tree line so i panicked and grabbed the front brake and cranked on the bars and i ended going around the whole curve on 2 wheels, needless to say i was grounded from the X for a few weekends

First wreck was on my old Yamahauler 200 when I was 10. I was learning to ride and getting confident driving back and forth my dirt driveway, at the bottom I would do doughnuts pop wheelies on the way back up the driveway. While i was doing a doughnut my foot slipped off the peg and I got pulled under it while the throttle was open, ouch. A passer by helped lift the bike off me and I spent the rest of the day picking the rocks out of my leg.
