**MassTrike** · 07-08-2005, 12:42 AM

" Wow those illegal."
" Your gonna hurt yourself or someone else on that stupid thing"
" Balls to the wall dude!" ---someone at the bar
" Wow i thought you coulnt ride those anywhere"
" Is that 3 wheel drive???"

The best one I've heard yet was -"Is that a kickstarter??!!, why don't you just push the start button!" I guess all I can say is,.... Here's your sign..

Yep, seems to be the same everywhere. Ther are 3 types of "onlookers"

1) The people who were around back in the day and have a clue as to how bad arse they are and appriciate seeing them and want to talk to you about it and what you've done.

2) They people who have never even seen one....( younger kids mostly)

3) The people who have never riden one, who are secretly jealous as hell and just talk smack about them being bad, dangerous, killing machines because they either dont have one, have a slow 4 wheeler, or their mamma made them sell their 3 wheeler back in the day because it was "so dangerous" and now you have it and are riding it with style!!! LOL

First kid at school I told "Trikes are gay, put the engine in a quad" Then I asked him if he'd EVER ridden a trike "no" Then I told him to shove it!!!
On the trails people always say "is that thing legal" or "those things are death traps" And when you ask them if they've EVER riden one , "no"............idiots!!!

" How'd you get a reverse gear on that thing ? " SX.. not many around here.

" You know you can put a quad front end on that eh ! ".. idiots.

Talking to his quad buddies after a hauling ass strip of dirt road " Holy crap.. i was sure we'd have to wait up for the trike at every corner.. but everytime i turned around.. he was on my ass.. what the hell "

( And nothing compares to the questions i get about my battery mountain bike tho !! that thing gets comments !! )

**Lomax** · 07-08-2005, 11:21 AM

The most common things I hear:

Aint them things outlawed??
I remember when they outlawed those.
thought you couldnt ride those because there outlawed
Is that a BigRed (every trike down here is a Bigred, I dont care if its a bright green tecate, its still a bigred lol)
How fast is it?
I'll give you a couple hundred bucks for it
Why do you have all these?
And the #1 thing I have been told was that I needed to haul all of my trikes accross the scales immidiatly as the cops around here are tired of them and "cracking down" on these outlawed machines. I almost fell out off the trike on that one.....

**84honda 200X** · 07-08-2005, 02:07 PM

I usually hear
Man that thing is nice
My brother had one that was all hopped up but sold it because he couldnt get it to run right
I could kick the crap out of that thing in a race.( 95% of the time i win)
God that pipe is loud! Where did you get it?
How much money do you have into this thing now.
This is just a story but ive got this one friend he love my 200X everytime we go for a ride he makes me take his 4wheeler and he take my 200X he has a blast on it.

I was at sand lake here in oregon and it was my Rs first time out on the sand since my port and topend job..I also just got a new pair of riding boots...Anyway i drove my truck into the 2nd parking lot where everybody parks and people were staring at my trike left and right...So the first thing i wanted to do was pull my bike off the truck and roost a few 5th gear wheeiles down the flats...And i did! But while i was in mid 5th gear wheeile, i forgot i had these new freaking boots on and i couldn't tap the back break fast enough to pull the front end down..Well, I bailed off the back,the bike did 2 cartwheels and landed upside down..I felt like such a idiot!! I know everybody was LMFAO at me.....So i just rode away and didnt return for about an hour..when i decided to come back i got pulled over by a state cop cause i didn't have a flag..I forgot to notice my flag was broken off and i received a $125 ticket..Anyway!!!! Some dudes riding banshees found my flag and were nice enough to bring it back to me, so i rode with them for the rest of the day LOL...OH the ticket got droped cause the stupid cop never showed up...So i guess something good came out of all of this....

Anyway, what im trying to say is im sure all those people watching me were like "Man 3 wheelers are dangerous" lol....Owell, sometimes they can be i guess

**250rAL** · 07-09-2005, 02:28 PM

A friend and I were riding on a motocross track, he on a TRX250R and me on my R. Another friend was standing on the side watching us clear a tabletop and overheard this from a middle-aged man standing next to him:

as my friend on the TRX cleared it: That's wild!

as I cleared it right behind him: That's just nuts!!

**250r'en +TCB** · 07-09-2005, 07:14 PM

People who see you after you drag raced say "that thing must be fast" I always say, "If by fast you meen just plain SCARY, then yeah it is."
Older guys always see me, a "youngster" on a machine older than me and they say "way to keep your heritage alive kid!" I always give a nice roost and/or wheelie after that!!!

**200xadam** · 07-09-2005, 08:53 PM

lol the only thing ive heard that someone hasnt said.

"hey so what do you do when you ride that thing, you just watch out for all the cops?"

im like omg...there not illegal people!

**deathman53** · 07-09-2005, 09:56 PM

I do mx on my atc250r and at the tracks I get strange looks, even stranger when I pass them(its getting rarer with more poeple having 450's and such). I got every line mentioned plus more and as well as some guys who were threathened by me trike and try to push me off the track, and the angry fathers when I fly past them and thier kids. One guy said he was gonna call the cops on me for riding a "illegal bike".

**BIGCRIP28** · 07-09-2005, 10:07 PM

the only thing i ever hear is, "thats a 350?, i never knew they made them that big" or
"dam that things loud" in reference to my cobra on my 110.
