    I hate trikes...

    Well actually just that name, trike... I've never liked it. When I here it I think of the big Goldwing Conversions. It's a fricken three-wheeler... ATC-YTM, whatever. I just had to let it out.... There I feel better.

    Hadn't seen that before.
    ...OKAY so we'll all just agree to call them 3-wheelers then. Discussion over. Have a nice day!

    You could call them "weird trapazoid shaped things" like i've heard other editors refer to them as.

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

    '85 200X(old smokey)
    '81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
    '84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
    '96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
    '85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
    '78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

    I hear that everytime i'm out on mine. "As if you ride that thing, you know they banned those for a reason right, huge deathtraps". My dad told me the same thing when I brought it over to his place.

    I guess all of us three wheel riders will always hear that. People just can't admit their scared of them instead of bashing those who are'nt.

    '3tire' is my preferred name, makes people really think I'm a hick. Sometimes my brother and I call them 'tres banos'...

    I call it "the ATC". I don't like trike, don't like 3 wheeler.
