The trike with the white plastics was not an 87 (I wish) it was an 85 that a few months before was rolled on the same beach, it had some awesome sand trails, jumps and small but very technical dunes, it was fitted with white Maier plastics afterwards. The front fender was the only piece of plastic not broken. I can't remember his name.
The low handlebars were called drag bars. Much like today's cruiser bike bars.
If you were a Drag Racer back then it was a standard item. I remember they were$20.00 at the time!!!

Yeah, we were really kids having fun. But you know what?
Racing kept us all out of the streets.
And as far as who was paying for bikes and parts, well, bikes were mostly bought by our parents but most of us , if not all, worked doing whatever we could do.
Some sold newspapers, some washed cars, some had parents that liked the sport and had the money to back it up. Me, I washed cars, moan loans, painted houses but mostly, I was the one doing the mechanical work on these machines, well, most of them anyways.
That kept most of us all out of trouble!!! And in the sport.

Hi there Speedbump:
The white T-4 was owned by my friend Melvin. When these pictures were taken it didn't had a lot done to it, but it got the full Klemm Research tratment soon afterwards, I remember having a lot of trouble beating it with my "home made" TRX after the T-4 was done.
It was quick. But it was also beat!!!

Hi Torker,
You guys had it made back then. Just imagine being able to do that now. Only at private places or somewhere you have to pay. (as far as the beach riding) I see by the condition ofs front tire on the Z that the rigs saw the pavement a lot too, and it doest sound like anyone bothered you about that either. Great pictures, thanks for sharing! What are your current rides?

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!"

Cool pictures, I love to see the old 3 wheelers in their heyday.
also, you younger guys and girls now know why they were banned: most of the people riding them were idiots in shorts and flip flops with no helmets
