    Those tapes have been around on the 'bay for quite a while. Judging from some of the feedback recieved from buyers of the tapes, I'd steer clear. Apparently they low quality home made items used for a small local cable show.

    Yes those are the most worthless vids I have ever seen and they are a bunch of rednech foos. I got one of their vids and all it is, is them riding around their land with their yammers. If you like that, then it will be cool but they act like foos on the vids.

    the tv one is a possibility, usa network used to have a show called motoworld back in the day, i remember watching that show everytime it was on just to see the trikes and quads, god the good ole days.
    1985 KXT 250 Tecate - kx cylinder, kx ignition, bassani headpipe, answer silencer, v-force reeds, 38mm airstyker carb, +2 franks swinger, raptor rear shock.

    1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    I really wouldn't blame the seller for the quality of these videos, they are 99 cents and in a listing that does not even show a picture. I would have to say giving the seller a negative would be out of line in my book. There is the old and just about always true saying "you get what you pay for"

    I bought a bunch of them back when they started listing them, what a scam , It sounded like they were old 3 wheeler footage , just a bunch of drunk rednecks , they are terrible i could not even make it through one of them . I bet they have made some money doing this its been a few years now

    Well,

    I don't think that they were real great. However, I wouldn't give him bad feedback just becuase they were not what you expected. I have 2 of them. It's just a home movie that a couple old 3 wheeler guys made. Now I don't remember the discription on the auction but I did not expect too much out of them to begin with. I found them moderatly amusing and kinda weak but still, it's not like everybody in the world makes 3 wheeler videos and offers to share them. I wish that more people did that. If I put my home movies up for sale I would at least want something for the time it took to make copies. I don't know, Just my opinion.

    well, they were 99 cents each, but one was a 4 dollar dvd.
    i paypalled him a 20, because i was happy, and im just the kind of guy to do a favore to someone who i thought actually was giving me something special that i wanted, truth of the matter is, he said "like aired on local cable television" or something like that on one of those videos, they should give a better description. a year on the video, a picture, SOMETHING... instead of scamming others. no, i may not give BAD feedback. i will tell it like it is when i give feedback. that item was recieved in orderly time, and was not damaged, but i will indeed tell them to describe the product better, and i can fit a few lines of words since i have 3 videos to give feedback for. just so now one else gets hooked in.

    Mike lent me his videos. Yeah, they're junk. But they are funny as heck. Wait to you see the guy doing donuts on the ice and break through. My son makes me rewind that part about 10 times every time we watch it. Don't leave any bad feedback until you see the end of the Sugar Creek Run video. You will know what I'm talking about. Take notice. Only the Honda runs good.

    The only background music will be 4 - 2 stroke engines. But hey, you get to watch them eat sandwiches for lunch for about 10min. Try and gut it out and watch the end of the Sugar Creek Run.
