Another WTF banned 3 wheeler?

[Roastm3]

I am glad so many of you are calling attention to this. I don't want to get into it, but I work in the powersports industry, and if the CPSC has it's way, our beloved industry would be terminated all together!! I am sure you are all aware of what is currentyl going on with the kids products and the lead ban on them. Just like the CPSC did back then with the ATC's they are doing again to ALL of our kids products. I saw a lady comment about a kid falling while playing on their uncle's MX bike and had hurt his knee on the footpeg. One lady had wrote in that her child had been hurt the same way. Another lady wrote in and said " sounds like we all need to write the manufacture about this problem" Needless to say I tore her a new one!!!! People that are that oblivious to the world need to move to another country IMO! It's like all these people that are trying to control our lives want us to put our children in a bubble until they are in their 20's! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Please think about all this seriously, please help us that our tied to the industry fight the CPSC and protect our rights! Don't let the government control more than they do! Thank You!

What can they do if they outlaw them ? arrest kids for riding the atvs that were solld up until that point? Im going to keep adding to my collection of trikes and guns and when that happens im moving to the middle of the woods . This country is getting scary in more ways than one .

After reading the repots one might ask where are the helmets??? 11yo flying down the rosd on the wrong side at night w/out a helmet what could happen??? No one in day and age wants to take responsability for their actions...not when they have a lawyer telling them to sue and "make millions". You dance with the Devil except to get burned once in awhile... JUST WEAR A F-N HELMET!!!!!!! Stupid is as Stupid does

Damn, I should have filed a report when i was being a at 10 and tried to climb an irrigation ditch and ed it. of course I flipped it and I landed in the muck, but it wasn't because of the ATC.

Many of my ignorant friends pick on me for buying a 3 wheeler.. They tell me quads are better and other un-informed b.s (part of this rant is from what one of my friends ignorant sibling was saying) I think riding a trike with ease and skillfulness denotes a higher skilled rider usually. It's easy to ride a quad and do things, but do those on a trike! Then you can be called a good rider in my opinion. They also tell me trikes are dangerous (SHOCKER) :O but obviously once I'm experienced with my trike I'll be just as good on my trike than I am on my quad. Many of those reasons quads were banned are highly ridiculous and make people think ill of these wonderful machines.. Just makes me wanna scream..

Another "3 Wheel ATV" fault death. Remember the 3 wheeler made him do it.

THE VICTIM IS A 39 YEAR OLD MALE WHO WAS RIDING A 1984 3 WHEELED |ATV ON A SLIGHTLY FLAT OPEN FARM PASTURE BEHIND HIS HOUSE. H HIT |A GULLEY WHILE DOING A WHEELIE, CAUSING THE FRONT TIRE TO DO A |LEFT HAND SKID. THE ATV BECAME AIRBORNE, THREW HIM TO THE GROUND |TO THE LEFT AND LANDED ON TOP OF HIM. HE SUSTAINED MASSIVE HEAD |INJURIES WHICH RESULTED IN HIS DEATH.

Huh, must be his helmet failed? :sarcasm: you can't fix stupid!

It doesn't make sense to me either, but they are technically classed differently, like the Can Am roadster thing, I'm sure they snuck that by them because it isn't an "all terrain vehicle"

After reading all those death reports I'm gonna be a little more cautious about riding any of my bikes, 3 wheeler or not.....That pot head kid that thought he could fly and the nude who decapitated him self

[Auto_Demon]

amd have you noticed that none of them were from the design of the 3 wheeler, its all because of the rider, either not wearing a helmet or under the influence of something or more than 1 person on the 3 wheeler which it says no passengers, so its all the peoples fault

[sweetip2000]

Why not watch the actual film footage they aired on the lame stream media back in the 80's.
Just look at the way they demonize these things. hey just in case you forgot.... we are all outlaw bikers. Something you can be proud of.
