Have you found a tri z yet bret? Has anyone still have a husky trike that you know of? Ever compete with the tigers? What were they like?

[3WW Star-driscoll333]

tacate, no tri-z. i doubt there are any husky's out there. if so they should be in a museum. i know of only two ever built. they normally destroy prototypes. tracey dickson would know. tigers? the only rider i knew that rode a tiger was craig corda. he was strickly a desert guy.i dont think he was too impressed. i think corda was the test rider for 3w mag. on the tiger 500? cant remember what issue. i will ask him..

Brett, what kind of advice do you have for someone who is just getting started racing (with trikes, or quads) and would like to make more then a hobby out of it?

[3WW Star-driscoll333]

billy, i would try to ride everyday. wind ,rain, snow,,,, and different types of riding . slow and fast tracks, off-road,etc... start out jumping small to medium , until you feel comfortable. lots of turning practice. after a couple months of that you'll be ready. also get a machine that isnt overly powered, its easier to ride a bike that you can man-handle. dont get a bike that is going to man-handle you. my funnest bikes were 200's.....

[3WW Star-driscoll333]

i talked to craig corda, he should post on here soon. craig is super funny. craig and i started racing about the same time . and he's got lots of stories for us...

Thanks Brett. We're getting started doing some flat track racing down here in Florida, I wasn't around back in the golden days but I feel like maybe I can help get something started again if I can keep recruiting guys. I've been riding a long long time but the opportunity to actually race has just been there recently. I really, really like it and although I know the chances of making anything more out of it then just a fun time are pretty low I'm the type of guy that likes to take chances and tread the water other people wont consider. I guess thats what makes me a trike rider instead of a quad or dirt bike guy Thats awesome to hear about Craig too, I think we actually had a member of this forum call and talk to him a couple years ago. Craig sent him a Tiger Racing Jersey and a brand new front fender if I remember right. I'll have to let him know Craig will be coming on board now.

Wow! Billy this site just keeps impressing me every day. I think billy of the huge support from this site, I can see trike races in the future. We trikers just have to keep beating the quad and dirt bikers down so we can race.

Hi Brett, cool to see you on here! Did you ever race Barstow to Vegas? Did you guys run shorter wheelbases for the desert events? Thanks.

[3WW Star-driscoll333]

yes, i remember we ran like a 2 inch over swingarms. we also ran a casey folks race and the mint 400. my memory is not 100% clear.

[broncobeast32]

So can you still make jackets like the factory Tri z one I saw a couple pages back?

[3WW Star-driscoll333]

i probably still have the the artwork. but would have to set the screens back up. it could be done . tee shirts would be easier to re-produce. im still in the silkscreen and embriodery biz, so i have conections...haha

[Bryan Raffa]

I would love to have one!!!! especially signed by you!!! and made by you!!! that would be awsome!!!!
