    That is by far the biggest steaming fly attracting pile of bulls**t I've ever read! My best friend TJ has been riding dirtbikes and trials bikes his whole life and he's 32. He's the one that scored that sweet T3 off Craigslist that I just posted yesterday, he freakin loves it, and he's never ridden a trike before last week. He's got the addiction so bad now that yesterday he went out and bought an 85 250R also. I'll be posting pics next week as he's still in Denver with it. But I think that is a testament right there to the naysayers. Hell, everyone that knows me, knows I ride FMX on a 03 YZ450F and I have lots of three wheelers, I love em! This guy that wrote the article is just another smug self proclaimed expert! He better watch out for ninjas!

    Unfortunately - that self proclaimed expert has been around for many years - actually decades (he is in the "1985 Blackwater Video" that many of us have"- The industry does consider him an expert - it is just so sad that he projects diarrhea from his mouth every time he opens it up regarding three wheelers - also - many of you have prolly never seen the very amusing spoof of this fool here on 3WW. Here's the link - much better, in my opinion, than his BS articles published all over the net.

    Thanx ATCTIM, I was wondering what the deal was with the superjunky column, guess you schooled me. Well, I consider TJ to be more of a dirtbike expert then that jackazz, and like i said before, he converted.

    I read from the top down, without peaking ahead. He sounded very knowledgeable about the subject until I got to the part that I know a little something about. Then I had to question whether he actually knows anything about the rest.

    I can't argue about some about some of the older bikes. Some of them were steaming piles. As far as three wheelers you can't compare a Big Red to a 250R. As a matter of fact you can't compare a pre 85 to a 85 and 86 250R. He may be a great dirt bike rider but he is no three wheeler rider.

    I hear it all the time "three wheelers are dangerous". My reply is they are no more dangerous than the idiot riding it. They can sit in the garage collecting dust and will not even hurt a fly. I ask them if they have ever rode a 250R and the reply has always been no.

    He can keep spewing dung but we all know better. I have been riding three wheelers for over 20 years and in my opinion they should never have stopped building them.

    People started doing wonderful things like riding over their own legs and biffing over
    the bars when the things got into a high- speed wobble-you know, anything over 20 mph. Suspension on these early three-wheelers? Nothing. Zip. Nada. Zero. Just three balloon tires were there to take the impacts.

    As the years passed, the ATVs got more and more powerful and they gave them forks and shocks. This let the unstable triangle wallow around, as well as defy the laws of physics when trying to turn. The rest is history. Three-wheelers are no longer being made. However, be warned! They're still out there, wiggling and lurching around the trails and sandpits of America.

    Since three wheelers were invented for those lacking the skills to ride on two wheels, does that mean that four wheelers were invented for those lacking the skills to ride on three wheels????

    I'm kinda suprised, I got an email back from him. Here it is:

    Well I guess I have to take back what I said about him on the 185s, I think he just had a bad experience with them or something. Thought maybe I could somehow get him to say not all trikes are bad or something.Oh well, I guess theres somethings you just cant change.

    Then I can sue when I spill it and burn myself because the cupholder was an "ill-consided" design and not able to contain the spill from the bumps. haha
