    More 3 wheeler haters

    This article was released in Dec 2006. Here is a quote from it:

    Safety Tips for all ATV Riders are:

    Do not carry passengers. ATVs are designed for one person.
    Wear a helmet with eye protection.
    Wear non-skid, closed toe shoes.
    Wear long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
    Do not ride on public roads or at night.
    Never use a 3-wheeler. They are unsafe and no longer manufactured.
    Attend an ATV driver’s safety course.


    Should we reply or just let it go. Ignorance~~!!!

    If you read the article, there are many good points, but the article attacks 3 wheelers as well as not having their facts straight about them

    Here is a link.

    this stuff really gets my blood boiling!
    RIP - Yamahondaman!! You will never be forgotten!
    RIP - Sam Brehm!! Gone but NEVER forgotten!
    RIP - Sandpuppi101 - You will live on in my mind - I miss you friend!

    haha, thats just a small kick compared to the rest of the article. Honestly I cant read BS like this a whole lot because it just pisses me off. Whoever wrote this article is living in a dreamworld, but what pisses me off even more is that they can recognize that many injuries occur due to lack of supervision or safety equipment. So they continue to fault ATV manufacturers, Ill never be able to understand or put myself in the mind of these idiots.

    If anyone replies to that letter, they should proof read their reply FIRST. The last thing we need is replies that look and sound like a 1st or 2nd grade kid wrote it.

    your right!! thats why they go after the manufacturer's, there the ones with the money! I love how familey's sue these manufactures,and think money will set things strait when most of the time there at falt for there own lack of supervision or safty equipment.

    team-red-rider, I definitely know how you feel... but instead of throwing something together in an e mail, maybe you could make this in to an english assignment or something. Sending them an article or report that you have written and at the same time educate your classmates on the issue. If the people that had written that article read something that you had really spent some time on, and that you had taken the time to proof read and research the real "facts", you might just "wake up" one of them...

    Ill tell you what raffa, one of the biggest problems are the firms and corrupt lawyers making these families that have experienced a traumatic accident due to their own negligence and responsibility feel "entitled" to something from the ATV manufacturers.
    I think this is my last post on this topic for the day, any more and I might just let myself get in a bad mood...

    Its the same with every thing els. There are tons of people out there that feel idiots should be protected from themselves. Thats why they have recalls on sweatshirts with draw strings, idiots could choke to death, easy bake ovens, unsupervised children have burnt themselves (THEY ARE A FREAKIN OVEN!), theives that hurt them selves breaking into a home can and do sue home owners, people riding your atv with your permission that hurt them selves can sue you for injuries (never mind that they will heal but you have to fix your machine). The list goes on and on. What ever happened to Darwins theory of survival of the fittest, Do we really want these people on the loose th breed? I think not

    Why not sue harley, honda, yamaha for street motorcycle accidents, I have never seen a warning sticker on one of those. Why not sue GM, or Ford or Dodge for people dying driving cages. Where are my lawn darts?
