Title: Rant
Post by Nightrain on 02/11/05 at 16:41:10

I guess its an 80's thing. If you werent into bikes in 1985 then you may not understand. I sure do miss trikes :'(  4 wheelers just seem so generic. Like anything, if you give an inexperienced rider the keys to a machine, 5 times more powerfull than they can even imagine, then there will be accidents (I.E. Tipovers..). But I'd wager a nickel that If I were riding this machine and you were riding a quad, I would probably whip your a** in a race around the block. Wheww.. felt good to get that off my chest. I saw this on bikepics and it brought back some dreams.

I'm with you, Nightrain.  I had several 3 wheelers in the 80s, and even more since then.  I pulled out my current 3wheeler, a Honda 200x, to give you some pics:

You are right - quads are way too heavy.  This 200x hauls butt.

Pardon the 65 LeSabre in the background, I have alot of toys.

50-60 miles of riding was my top limit back then.   I guess the roads buzzed a lot more back then.  ;D

But gawd, it was a fast 50-60 miles... :D
