I just got back from 3 wheeling in the mountains of TN. Your life is always hanging in the balance, but it was the best fun I've had in a while.
While I was there bought a small one so i could maneuver in and out of tight spots and so I might not die if it flipped on top of me. I want a 200/250 in good shape if anyone has a bead on one.

Those were badass back in the day but very rare in my area. We talked about them like they were squatch.

To be fair, the old trikes require just a little more body english than a quad. I have personally done a similar maneuver many times in my younger days...


3 wheeler on ice was the most fun/dangerous thing I have ever done. Grew up with a Honda 90. Dad bought it brand new when I was about 5. (this was before the 110 came out). Can't count the times I almost died on that thing. God that was fun.

Still have burn marks on my ankles before I learned to keep from hanging on too close with my feet . . . or wear thick socks.

Who doesn't know someone who was almost killed on a three wheeler. They were fun. My cousin split his leg from his ankle to thigh flipping one.

I had a honda 200 when I was a kid. way too big for a kid. When I was 12, from what I think happened, I flipped it and ended up in a coma for 4 days. from the gash in the helmet, the doctor said that the helmet saved my life and the rack on the back kept me from being crippled. Still don't remember any of it.

I flipped a big red on the way to a deer stand, climbed a tree with a 185 with no brakes, and ran over myself with a 200.

The 200 was going to one side so I put my foot down to stop it.
Foot got under tire and it pulled me off the thing and ran over me. Didnt hurt anything, it didnt even hurt, but I sat there for a minute scarred shitless

Just got my 85 Big Red back from the shop. It still needs a lot of tlc, but it runs like a champ.

Anyone else's big red have the steering lock option? Mine did.

I found out quickly you could hurt yourself by locking the wheel and doing donuts.

That thing is awesome. My uncle had one a long time ago. It was yellow and blue for some reason.



My brother has this now. It will go anywhere and runs like a sewing machine.

I miss the shite out of ours.

We had a Big Red and a 200s. My dad took the Big Red and I had the little guy.

Was riding up at our camp, in Simmesport at the time, and flipped the Big Red going pretty quick, I just kinda tumbled with it for a few yards. Popped up, flipped it back up and it started right up. Pissed off Pops though, bent that gun rack!
