Whats the most serious injury you have had on a trike.

**old honda dealr** · 08-20-2005, 01:16 PM

In January of 06 it will be 24 years for me riding 3 wheelers. And I can proudly say that my most serious injury is a Bruised side. No broken bones or fractured anything. Just was kind of curious what your worst injuries were and how did you get them.

In nearly 4 years of riding, I haven't got one single injury

. I've never flipped a trike.. never hit anything with it... and I can proudly say I've only ever had 2 close calls, and that was just from overturning and the rear wheel going about 2-3 feet in the air.. no biggie.
But my brother flipped a trike once. He was pullin a sled around with my neighbors little kid in it, and I was watching.. and he tried to slide around a pretty sharp turn while giving it about 1/2 throttle to spin the tires while going around the turn, and next thing I knew the tires grabbed hold and the trike was laying on top of him. Surprisingly there was not a single scratch on the trike, and he was fine.. just rattled a little bit.

i was rididng my 225 at our cabin and one of the hay fields is kinda ruff from where it has been plowed,i was going kinda fast showing off for an old girlfriend and hit a bump just right and my foot slipped off the peg the rear wheel grabbed and pulled it down acrross the peg resulting in a 4'' long gouge in my right leg,or the time i clipped a deer with my t3, that just knocked the wind out off me,i ride like and animal sometimes.i've never broken anything on a trike or quad just harleys and horses. my cousin once said i'am the funniest person to watch ride any thing and my wife said i ride like a maniac

I've been riding 3-wheelers for about 10 years. I've flipped a couple but nothing major.

I acutally did break a finger on a 1982 ATC200. It was pretty messed up too. I had to get 2 stainless steel pins put in through the top of my left ring finger. They went through the first joint so I couldn't bend it. They were taken out after 6 weeks. That happened when I was 18.
It broke when the rope starter pulled out my wet hand!! I know it's happened to you guys and it hurts but I bet you didn't think it could mess your finger up that bad.

I hate when the rope starter jerks your arm or hand. It hurts like hell. Thats why I'm glad my SX has a kick start. My dad can keep his Big Red's with rope start.. lol.

When that damn pull starter slips that does hurt like a *****. But I have never broke a finger doing it just made my fingers tingle a few times. LOL

well i been riding wheelers for 23 years now.....i had many crash's over the years last one only a month ago hit a jump on my 350x and landed on one side which flipped me off and few cuts but no biggie....but the worst crash i ever had was on a quad!!!!!! smashed my collar bone in 3 places....after over running a jump...still hurts in the winter.....that was 6 years ago now......

**jeswinehart** · 08-20-2005, 03:10 PM

i have a couple short fingers on my left hand (sprocket bite - 185-s)
broke shoulder bone that sticks up a inch or so ( bucking 350x ).
might as well blame a couple blown/cracked disc from sevral tumbles down hills on various trikes i have owned.

that's about it ,,, john

**Maine_Triker** · 08-20-2005, 07:35 PM

My worst 3 wheeler injury was about 4 years ago. I wrecked my 250R and broke my cheek bone, Nose in two places, split my chin open, road rash on the right side of my face and ear and neck. I also have a compound fracture to my T-7 vertebre. Broke two fingers. And hurt my right leg and knee, I guess from me flying through the air and hitting a rock road at about 40 mph. And just bruised the rest of my body. I had to go back to the hospital for nose surgery about a month later after my broken cheek and nose healed up a bit, to have my broken twisted nose refractured and straightened. It still hurts. As I am typing this my back hurts. All this injury with no helmet. I had just changed to sprockets and just was going for a test ride down a trail and back. Luckily there was another guy I know on his four wheeler that found me laying in the trail knocked out and bleeding. I got airlifted out. Another time I hit a tree with the back tire of my 250SX and flipped it and knocked myself out. Back about 1985 or so on Easter Sunday my dad was riding a Tri Moto and was racing my brother and flipped it and broke his back. He was in a back brace for 6 months.

Just torn open blisters for me.

**1984kxtTECATE** · 08-21-2005, 05:53 PM

Ive been riding for 3 years now, the worst injury is from jumpin the tri-z and fallin off the back because i was back way too far, I have lost feeling in about a 3" area on the side of my knee, that was caused by my leg goin up and hitting the edge of the handle bar. I have never rolled any of my trikes, i have ran into black berries twice and have had about 3-4 close calls.
