    Damn Strong Trikes

    I have a honda atc200s trike thats been to hell and back. Its been flipped so many times theres nothing left of the fenders, we've put car tires on it and smoked them off. the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro has been bagged out of this trike but it still continues to run like new and sounds great with the cobra megaphone exhaust.

    post stories of your own trikes that have had a rough life

    bought some rims and tires and used the plates that are on the original tires as guides for new holes, they were lined up good and we did some burnout with javex and got er smoking real nice!!

    the chain is broken on my 200s right now but if i get a camera ill take some pics with the car tires on the bike. They look weird, a 14" rim on a small trike like that. I want to get some shiny hubcaps for it sometime

    I inherited my 200X with a real estate purchase. When I got it, it wouldn't run so I got my buddies to push me down the alley on it. It was night time and we had a few beers in us so we were determined. We got it going and I popped the clutch and she came to life making a horrible sound. I look down at the motor and flames are coming out the side of the cylinder. I couldn't believe she was running with a completley opened up head gasket. I turned around and rode it back to the garage and shut it off. I ended up rebuilding the whole motor casue I figured if that thing would run with a completley blown out head gasket then I knew she was a good one.

    I'd say a few rivets is exagerating,but hey if it works,it works it don't look that bad..i've seen worse.Reminds me of the 250bigred i looked at when i was lookin to buy a trike,i asked buddy on the phone are there any cracks in the fenders?He replied nope theres no cracks well he wasn't lying when i arrived,there wasn't any cracks in the fenders cause there were no fenders...lol that bike was a junker it really surprised me tho when he fired it up and it actually ran good..
