What made you start riding atc's?

Watched my big brother ride our dads YTM 200 Yamahauler until I was finially old enough to climb on it. Was 11 at the time popping wheelies and spinning doughnuts in our driveway. Parents loved that I was out on that thing all through my teens instead of hanging with the bad crowd that was always around. Miss that old trike. Anyway, got passed a T3 basket case from my brother and its been trikes trikes trikes since then.

My father bought our first trike back in 1998,it was a 1984 200m. I loved it at the time. Me and dad restored it, then sold it in 2004. I went and bought another 200m for $160 and restored that one too, then sold it like 3 months later, now I have just bought a 250sx about a month ago and I love it. Ever since 1998 Ive loved 3 wheelers and will always have one !!

i used to watch my cousin run into the woods with his friends on trikes back in the early 80s. i couldnt wait to grow up and get one myself.

my brother and i actually started out with dirt bikes since we never had a garage growing up in queens, ny. we finally started to buy quads and chain them up in the back. i even put in a larger gate so i could ride my atvs into the backyard. our first trike was a 198? atc125. We had to fix it since we bought it in parts for $50. it had a cracked frame and was all apart.

our dad taught us how to fix 4 stroke motors on that trike and a honda elite 80 scooter. we must have torn that engine apart and put it back together like 4 or 5 times.

anyway, friends had trikes while we were riding atvs. one had a 250sx and another person had a 200x. it wasnt easy finding them around since quads were so much more popular and the internet didnt really exist yet.

finally with the internet and this website i can finally access all the trike stuff i have always wanted. and now a garage that is quickly filling up with trikes and parts.

My uncle in the early (not sure what year) 80s farmed about three different properties all within a couple of miles of each other. He was in his 70s and bought a new Big Red. He took the paperwork to the courthouse (they didn't know what it was) and put plates on it! He rode it ON THE ROADS! He was crazy and FUN!I wasn't allowed to have one but I rode the tires off of his. I was a young teenager then, I'm now 38. Mom can't stop me now! I've got 4 so far.

When I was 16 my older brother came home with two brand new ATC90s from the Honda shop. I got to go on the very first ride of those two trikes with him, we have been riding trikes ever since.

Quads were'nt around when I was younger, when you learn to ride on a atc it just gets in your blood. Theres no challenge to a quad.
