why do you love trikes............

[350Xhilaration]

I like em cause I wanted one (a 350X) when I was a kid and couldnt afford one. Our neighbor had the sweetest 86 and would never sell it. I hounded him for a decade and he'd never sell it. He finally did sell it and the guy thrashed it.

Trikes are different. You don't see them everyday. They're cool.

I love snowmobiles, dirtbikes, and quads too. Anything that has a throttle and will go offroad is good with me. I've owned them all over the years. Still have 3 out of 4. I miss my KX

I have a rare disease called Trikenosis syndrome.... any time a cheap trike comes along it somehow ends up in my posession?????
No really though, I grew up on them, got my 250r when I was around 16 and still have it today( 10 years later). I like the fact that they are light and fast, and like OC250r said they are all unique in their own way. They turn sharp, wheelie easy, and are just a blast to ride!

I'll tell you what guys,I Love trikes cuz i've been riding them since I can remember'Thats along time',And because it became an obsession for me .I have built some of the sickest trikes and when you putz by a group of Banshee's and I'm on my R,guess who there looking at ,It ain't there budy's quad.Trikes are the muts of the atv world but what people don't get nowadays is that if it were'nt for trikes quads never would have evolved to what they are today,OVERRARATED!! Now we really can't knock our fellow riders on the quads,they just don't get it! They never felt the addrenlin running through thier veins as you hit 5th gear and the front end is coming up! Nonethe less I've been riding ,racing ,repairing ,restoring and collecting these freaks of the atv world all of my life and I will love these machines not cuz of the money factor but for the passion!!!!!!!

Because they usually have a 3 times better power to weight ratio compared to a four-wheeler. I stayed neck in neck with a Suzuki King Quad 300 on my ATC 110, and mine had smaller than stock tires, meaning I lost top end speed. Had I kept my oversized meats, I probably would have slowly crept ahead...

I used to have major drug problems and when I got clean is when I got back into trikes. They've helped keep me busy and helped fill the void after getting clean. Now my only addiction is TRIKES. Who knows these trikes my have saved my life in a strange way.

i love bikes and i love quads. you still gotta lean like when your on a bike but you got the good bits of a quad too.

[traxxasx]

i love alot of things about them, but the most is when you ride ** sweet trike down the street, you dont get the kids that think thats cool looking at you, every one outside is looking and people in cars, and there thinking wow its a threewheeler and it looks good and its running!!!!! Most people would think stupid kid ridding his loud bike down the street, but they see a trike and think wow i remember when they used to make those back in the 80's i cant believe he is ridding one. Its a great feeling to have somthing so rare that looks good and still runs like it was the 80's to own. Trikes even turn the most hating peoples heads/ and they like what they see and wished that was them ridding it down the street.

1) they take quite a bit more skill then a 4 wheeler to ride and definitly take more body english to make them perform right which looks cool

2) parts are relativly cheap and exciting when you find a rare OEM part

3) fun having a 20 year old machine that is in great shape

4) gratifiying when you find one ready for the grave and you save it

5) gratifying when one is too far gone but you help others rebuild theirs by parting it out

I will add I love 4 wheelers too but think they are getting carried away with the engine and chassie size of machines. They are so big that body english barely effects them any more.

When I was a kid, on my bicycle I did 2 things. Ride wheelies and get sideways emulating my favorite Speedway Riders (Mike Bast and Alan Christian). Well, We all know what Trikes do best !

Also, riding Trikes is something a lot of people like to give Me crap for. "They're dangerous", "Why don't You just get a quad ?" I've always been an outcast, so they can just keep it up, I'll ride Trikes until the day I die.

Lastly, I've made some great friends through riding trikes.

Make that one next to last. There's just nothing like the feeling of a Trike.
