    Are we a bunch of middle aged farts trying to hang on to our younger days with trikes

    I was just wondering what is the average age of the members here still hanging on to old trikes.

    i am 31 years old and still love trikes. i started out back in '83 on a honda atc110 and i was hooked!....owned just about everything once or twice since then.

    so how old is everyone and which trike got you hooked?

    age

    Well I'm only 18 so i'm basically just getting started on trikes. My dad bought a tri-moto 175 and 125 from an old friend maybe 5 or 6 years ago so that is basically what i started out on as for trikes. We sold them and now i own a atc 90 that needs alot of work, an atc 110 that i modified into a chopper, abasket case '85 250sx <- parting out and now i have an '85 200x. My dad also just purchased that tiger that was on ebay. With howdy being my uncle, im sure i will always have someone to help me out and give me a hand if i need. So it looks like there is one more triker in the world and maybe my kids someday, who knows!

    I'm 42, rode a skidoo 340, and a 1976 kawasaki 100 brand spankin new since I was 15-18 years old. I got married, and there were other priorities after that. I bought that yt125 three wheeler for my kids years ago and they don't ride it any more. I just find I like fixing it now I like fixing more than actual riding now. I just can't see getting rid of it as it don't need much maintenance to keep it going. But I definately got the bug to get a bigger and faster one though.

    I am 25 and been loving trikes since I was 6 years old when my buddy got a 3 year old 110 for his birthday....I grew up poor, never could have a ATV/ATC/dirtbike but I always rode my friends....Now that I have my own successful business, trikes are cheap to have so I recently bought a 85 250SX and that baby got me hooked. I now also have a mint 85 350X which I may sell....But my 3 kids will have whatever 3 wheelers they want growing up. Can't have them growing up the way I did...deprived of 3 wheelers!!!!

    Being new is no excuse for an attitude. Keep it up and the verbal backlash won't be pretty. By the way, I'm 42.

    31 or 32 years old. My first trike was a 225 dx back in 84' or 85 can't really remember.

    this is my 3rd trike I've owned it's a 200x. Before that I had a 85' 250sx. Various other

    quads and bikes over the years but without a doubt three wheelers are the most fun.

    After the weather warms up a bit I plan on doing another resto on something.

    Restoring them is almost as fun as riding them plus It gives me something to do and

    keeps me out of trouble. Well, for the most part.

    Wow!!! There sure are alot of youngins on here... Makes me feel old.

    Yea twgranger lighten up!
