    Trike haters

    I'm sure this has been said before, but the next time I hear a 4 wheel riding guy say "man those things are dangerous" I'm going to slap the piss out of him!!

    This winter a guy pulled up to me and started to talk to me. I was on my Tri-z at the time blasting some snow covered trails. This guy was riding some older 4x4 quad with bald front tires. He had no helmet on and riding with his 4 year old on the front of the quad, who was barely hanging on. He looked down at his son and said "those were banned cause they were too dangerous".

    I looked back at him and just smiled cause he was doing the most irresponsible thing riding with his 4 year old on the front of his old ratty quad. I just said - "all ATVs are dangerous you just got to know how to ride them". He agreed.

    If your gonna ride trikes, your always gonna hear some of this *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*. Part of the territory i guess.

    I have to say this summer everywhere i have taken my trike, even on atv club rides, I get a lot of respect on the trails, usually a small crowd around my 20 year old trike at the parking lots. Its nice to be different.

    Yeah one time i flipped my 185 on some whoops and i was just laying there for a few minutes when some dudes riding double on a tt-r125 showed up and one dude said

    "Hey!! You ok?"

    I got up and said "Yeah"

    The he said "I knew three wheelers were dangerous"

    I said "Not as dangerous as you and your brother riding double without helmets." I walked over to the trike, flipped it back over on its wheels, checked it out, and it started first pull and i just rode off like nothing happened lol

    Best part is when you race that person and you beat their NEW 4 wheeler, the look on their face is priceless

    haha, you have to be on crack to think that trikes are just as safe as quads.

    they tip over easier on corners ect.....
