    First trike you rode

    I was wondering what the first trike that everybody rode and how old you were and where you rode it.

    Ill start:


    I was about 5 and it was a Honda 70. Im not sure on what year but it was the early narrow tank shape. I rode it at the beach in typical aussie style.

    It was a 1984 225dx. It was during the summer. Ive been riding dirtbikes since I was 6 (im 17). Quads since I was 9. I have to say, that trike was the funnest thing I have ever ridden. I always wanted a 250R but couldnt never afford one.

    I was going to get an ATC70 when I was young, but my mom put a stop to that, so I only sat on one at the deaership. I later rode a Yamaha YT60 Tri-Zinger. It belonged to a friend of mine, but he got an XR80, so I always rode the Zinger. I guess I was about six or seven at the time. I used to donuts for what seemed like hours at a time.

    Honda 110

    A Honda 110 Was the 1st. I was like 13 and it was new so it was a an 83 Then a Yamaha 225 in 85.
    I had one of those Tri-Sport Trikes that was pretty nice. Cool fiberglass but a bit rough even for a 12 year old. That I consider a Buggy type Trike.
    Got my 1st dirt bike when I was 9, begged my dad for at least 2 years after seeing the Neighbor bring home an old YZ in pieces in his car and Trunk. Once I saw it done and running I was Hooked

    It was a brand new 1981 110. I must have been like 8 years old. I didn't get my own trike until 1984 when I was 11. It was a brand spanking new 1985 200x.

    It's weird to me that so many people have never even seen, let alone ridden, a brand new trike. If I ever get a scanner again I can post some action shots of a brand new 1985 250sx and that 110. Already posted a bunch of my 200x. I wish I would have had the foresight to take a camera to a dealer back then and get pics of all those brand new trikes lined up...

    My grandfather brought home a 83 200. He gave it to all of the kids on christmas morning in 1985. I can remember some really good times riding on that old unsuspended trike. I wish I could get it back

    mine was a brand new 1980 atc 110. i was 13. rode it mostly on this long highway that was under contruction that the state had run out of money on. it was just miles of sand with woods and marsh on both sides. that was the good old days.
