Another WTF banned 3 wheeler?

[TrailerRider]

This is why I took my front brake off...

14 YEAR OLD WAS THROWN FROM A 3 WHEELED ATV WHEN HE APPARENTLY |BRAKED USING ONLY THE FRONT WHEEL. HE LANDED ON HIS HEAD. THE |RESULTING HEAD INURIES PROVED FATAL. HE WAS WEARING A HELMET.

No kidding, I think we need to bring trikes back just to weed out the retards.

What the.. I hope I can ride at that age..

A SEVENTY-SEVEN YEAR OLD MAN COMPLAINED OF SORENESS TO HIP AND CHEST |AFTER A 3-WHEELED ATV ROLLED OVER SIDEWAYS WHILE HE WAS TRAVERSING A |9-DEGREE SLOPE.

*No thats not a typo: 9 degrees.

One more for the day..

Is "Trunk" an offical medical term??

A 12 YEAR OLD MALE SUFFERED A CONTUSION/ABRASION TO HIS(L) LOWER |TRUNK, WHEN HE FELL OFF A 3 WHEELER.

[Dammit!]

I've been hit in the trunk before, it hurts alot more after 30 seconds.

OK d@mmit, here is a structure flaw. When your engine comes out of the bike the frame collapses.

A 14 YEAR OLD MALE WAS RIDING A 3-WHEELED ATV DOWN A SLOPE IN A |HILLY AREA OF DESERT. THE BOLT HOLDING THE ENGINE TO THE FRAME |VIBRATED LOOSE AND FELL OUT CAUSING THE FRAME TO COLLAPSE. HE WAS |THROWN OVER THE HANDLEBARS AND SLIGHTLY INJURED. HE WAS WEARING A |HELMET.

100% agree, I have people, especially the few I truly care about always preaching to me, "Be careful, them 3 wheelers are dangerous; aren't they banned?"
My response, "No, the only thing that is banned, is you from ever driving my 3 wheeler!"
It's kinda of ironic, because most people will agree that 9 of 10 legislators are self serving, hardly ever tell whole truths, press for issues that most benefits them and those who lobby them for it, ect.....................................
But, will totally accept the decision to stop the import of 3 wheelers to the US, even though to date the were no substantial evidence to support there decision.(cause there are them 87' Canadian and European 3 wheelers) We must of known something them other countries did not have a clue about.
If I remember correctly, there was a US senator from out west, I can't remember his name, who's child was killed on a atc, and soon after the bill was passed through legislation to stop US imports of the atc.
I have been riding 3 wheelers since I was 12 years, when I bought my first Honda 110 with my paper route money, and like everyone here on this forum, I am still here. Sure, me and I am pretty sure everyone here has got a lil' too crazy, rode a lil' stupid, but it's all about respecting your machine and it's boundaries. Knowing what your machine is capable and not capable of.
Not ridin' like you stol' it, all the time. Even though we still do sometimes
I feel for alot of you guys here, reading of the hassles you have put up with, jus' cause' you ride an atc. I have it pretty lucky here in Northern NY, we can still license, insure, and register our atc(s) here. And we have many trails that are inter-connected by roads and are allowed to ride the roads, even in the town I live in we can ride on every road in town, except the main street, which we can only cross-over. And it is not a small hick town either, we have around 10,000 people, not including our Army Base, Fort Drum.

It is amazing how our culture has veered away from self-regulation and responsibility to always being the victim of large corporations and needing large amounts of money to heal the pain. The last time I checked, money didn't cure any ills, especially mental ones! Since we're on the subject of ignorance, I'll write two of my own CPSC "reports."

Texas - An 8 year-old male was injured while riding a three wheeled ATV. The rider heard his name called behind him, turned to look while moving, and consequently turned the ATV in the direction he was looking. The ATV struck a fence, causing minor injuries to the rider's hand, knee, and ego. The rider and his ego have since recovered.

Texas - A 9 year-old male was slightly injured when he fell off a three wheeled ATV. The rider was doing donuts for approximately five minutes without stopping. He attempted to ride away and fell off because he was dizzy. His left foot was struck by the right rear tire, causing minor injuries. The rider's friends pointed and laughed while he lay on the ground. The rider has since recovered.

I think I might have a case against the evil ATV manufacturer Yamaha. Why not even sue the company that built the fence? How about suing Isaac Newton for writing the Laws of Physics? Who can I sue for the phenomena of gravity and dizziness? Remember, this is America, so I am in no way responsible for my own actions, so I'm bound to win.
