First trike you rode

**Jim mac** · 12-30-2005, 01:09 AM

I got a 79 honda 110 back in 82 traded a 56 chevy truck project with a big block in it. I only saw the motor in the truck start once, talked to the guy about 3 months later and he wanted to trade back, I decided to keep the trike, sold it about 3 months later.

Mine was a brand new 1984 200s which my father bought 2 of them one for him and one for me. I was 12. Madonna was hot. The ramones and the sex pistols rocked. And Rambo was saving the day from those pesky Russians.

first ride I was about 3 on the back of my Dad's 72 atc 90 at our friends summer place out at warsaw. I think those summers are one of the reason for my obsession with trikes now

That was also the first trike I drove, I love that little trike

Mine was a 79 110 bought new in 1-79 at age of 19 years. Saw a kid a week before riding in the snow and doing wheeles. That hook me! Not long after, a bunch of my buddies bought 110's also and we rode every Sunday afternoon.

My first ride was on a 75 atc90. It belonged to a neighbor that had it sitting in a shed and I kept bugging him to get it running until one day I helped him get it running. My dad got it for me for Chrismas of 77, I was l5. I had a blast on it. I was raised in Va. and there weren't alot of 3 wheelers around where I lived. I remember getting 3 wheeler magazine new and ordering a couple of bits and pieces out of the magazine, by just putting cash in the envelope and sending it! When I went into the navy after graduating high school I sold the atc90 to a buddy who promptly trashed it and threw it away. While I was in the navy, a shipmate bought a brand new 81 250r and he let me ride it. It was the difference between night and day from the old atc90. I didn't own another 3 wheeler until 2003 when a friend gave me a basket case klt110. It got me hooked again and here I am.

The first trike I ever rode was my Dad's new 74 atc90. I was 6 years old at the time. I have loved trikes ever since. I was sad

when he traded it off with some other stuff for a beat up 65 stang, about 10 years ago. The 90 we now have is almost exactly the same.

I do know the people he traded it to, but the chances of them still having it are slim. Then, while we still had the 90, Dad bought a brand new 84 atc110. I'm happy that I still have this trike today, and it is low hours new condition. It only needs a new chain guard as the one it had got hit with a big piece of wood on the ground (from the orchard). I have lots of great trike memories from growing up on them,

and would not have it any other way.

1985 or 1986. I think I was 14 or 15 and it was a neighbor's new 86 350X. He said if you can start it, you can ride it. I started it and rode it. Tried to buy it from him for a few years when I was in my later 20s. It was immaculate. Then he gave it to his nephew who trashed it somewhere around 2000.

That ride hooked me on the 350X.

**willcamach** · 12-31-2005, 05:06 PM

**Huffa** · 12-31-2005, 07:03 PM

A 1986 200X. I was about 29 or so. I took a liking to the "strange" handling immeadiatly.

Now I just turned 50 and still enjoy them.

**185sguy** · 12-31-2005, 08:30 PM

Great stories guys! It really brings back a lot of memories. In the early part of 1983 when I was still 9my uncle bought an ATC 200. He taught me how to ride out in a field by his house. I was hooked! My dad actually bought me a 1983 ATC 185s about 2 months later. I still have it and am going to restore it. That is about all I thought about in school is getting home and riding it in the woods by our house. One of my friends got a 1982 ATC 185s and another of my friends got an ATC 110. We wore those things out!! Later when I was 16 and had a job I saved up and got the ultimate...A 1985 ATC 350X. I wish I had that one back. It ripped!!
