Trikers with dirtbikes

[Banage]

can you get as far as your trike on your bike? I had one 6 years ago, now i been missing it, and im thinking of getting a bike again. But, i need to keep up with the people i ride with. Whatta you think? could I keep up, or if i get one, should I find a biker crowd too?

And then some. I find that 3-wheeler fits places that a quad doesnt, but a bike can do anything the rider will allow. Even in the snow a bike is more capable.

I am currently looking at a xr400r, it isnt going to take away from my trike. I think that limiting yourself is just that, limiting. I ride a trike/quad/bike with equal ease and am just as comfortable on either or. I never hate on anyone, no matter what they are on. The fact that they are riding at all is something to celebrate, better for them and me. The very first thing that I rode with a motor was a little 70 that was ragged when we got it but we rode it until it literaly fell apart. Then I rode a friends little XR80, then back to three wheels with a yt125. Now I own a 400EX and a Z, and am going to look at a bike on Monday. The type of ride is what I use to decide what to ride, I like to have a choice on what I take riding. But its every man for themselves, that is just my opinion.

sometimes I miss my old motorcrossers, I may one day get back into the bikes, simply becouse I like there light weight, pure power and bitchin suspension, I used to love to open mine up then hit some trails, then fly of some jumps

Now that I got another dirt bike, I dont think I will ever get rid of or at least have one. There are just some terraines that are best for a bike and cant beat a nice single track. No worries about having huge holes that the quads dig up there, cuz they cant fit. So personally I like my bikes just as much as my trikes.

Thats what most people think...

I've owned all of 'em. 2,3 and 4 wheelers. The 4's are gone and next week I'm picking up 3...yes 3, '86 Tecate T3's. My old trusty '85 CR 500 sits in the basement. The quads are cool,the 3's are cool too. But when I want balls out eye watering, arm yanking power...the CR 500 does it for me.

Scott that is one beast of a bike, never ridden a KTM but it definetly looks capable. Trying to get my hands on a 97 400R, I think 1100 is a fair price.

I have 2 dirtbikes, I love riding them. They are both street-legal, it wasn't too much pain. I ride them to work, local stuff and for ripping mosts quads a new one on trails. I think they are the best for trails, I have riddin them in snow.......and it is far easier to ride a trike in snow. I have a xr250r and ktm 450exc. I tried mx riding on dirtbikes and didn't like it.

I ride with buddies who have 2 and 4 wheels(i also have 3 and 4 wheels)it just doesnt matter as long as you are having fun.I have been having a ton of fun on my 450r so the trike is getting dusty!!
So I say "to each their own , whatever you like to ride dude"!! Except to the dude who says bikes are more capable in the snow, to him I will say " you fell down and bumped your head". Oh wait you were probably riding in the snow!!! Because that is all a bike is more capable of doing in the snow is falling down!!
3 or 4 wheels is way more fun in the snow!

I've got a 1991 KTM 540 2 stroke and my 1983 Honda ATC 110, kinda funny combination isnt it? lol

They both have their time and place but are both totally fun in the own way!

I am talking about snow, not ice. I didnt say it was easier, but a bike will motivate through much deeper snow than a atv, I have proven this many times. Just because you cant ride a bike in snow doent mean someone else cant...

[md1985250r]

I never claimed to be able to ride a bike, fact of the matter is I have no desire to ride a bike .Nor did I say you cant ride a bike, I said a bike is NOT more capable in the snow. Now if you want to add in an additional statement that now the snow is deeper all of the sudden.....just to justify your statement...so be it!!
