Should i ride my Trike or not?

[Klendathu]

What are your opinions guys?

Many peoples at the motocross pit near my home says that i shoud not ride my trike and keep it in the garage for collection.

What u think of that?

[DOGBONE]

That trike looks awesome.

Is that a painted gas tank?

[350Xccelerator]

i would ride it, but very little. after every ride i would clean it real well. Damn that thing looks great with the black.

[Klendathu]

All plastic new batch products, made on demands are black from the factory.....

[Looking For Trike]

do they make a white tank

[200x Basket]

this is the dumbest poll ever :evil: ride the sucker and quit wasting time.

[350Xccelerator]

I think you should get another trike to ride hard, and keep the R clean with some excersize.

[NOS_350X]

these things where built to be riden, so ride it

that is a very nice R but it is so far from original that is is not a collectors item. Ride it and enjoy it but dont think you are killing a peice of 3 wheeled history. if you are riding hard remove the headlight and have fun.

Ride the damn thing. Whats fun about it being in your garage all it does is take up space.

Whatever, its yours you decide.

[ATC crazy]

I'd ride it...but VERY carefully...don't be a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro on it. Just cause he has aftermarket parts on it dosen't mean he should beat the crap out of it. :?

[Billy Golightly]

Ride the piss out of it, and don't be afraid of breaking things.

[kimmer250r]

Well, this is mine and what do you think I would do...I have $5500 into mine!

[REDMAN225]

awesome trike...i'd ride but with caution!

[roger86200x]

WHY THE HELL KEEP THE THING IF U R GONNA JUST LOOK AT IT!???? people that do that are retarded... its like 85 year old people that own ferrari's and just keep in garage instead of driving them! wow you can say "yup, I got me a 250r and its in mint condition..." how fast does she go? " i dunno i never rode her!" how dumb is that? THE THING IS MEANT TO BE RIDDEN.... IT YEARNS TO BE RIDDEN..... RIDE IT AND NEVER LOOK BACK!

[TeCaTe_MaN]

:-D WOW!!! :-D These are some of the nicest 250r's i have seen in a long while :D nice bikes ;)

[reese]

I agree with 200x basket. Though it is in great condition, it's not original. If it was completely original I would never ride it. If I were you I would ride it and maybe buy a few parts that are most likely to wear out or break, if you are concerned about parts availability later on.

[HemiChallenger71]

My 250R is almsot as nice (the plastics aren't as in as good of shape), but I rider her, but not very often cuse I don't always have time. I would ride it but not go BTW all the time. That's easy for me cuse rides are usually to get relaxed a bit and not a workout like they used to be.

[Darius1502]

I have some nice machines and I do ride them but I only take them out to the sand dunes here in West Texas. I WILL not ride in mud at all. I never really enjoyed riding in the mud anyway even with junker bikes.

If I do ride I prefer dusty or dry terrain. Dunes are perfect because they keep things looking new since there is little dust (if you are dealing with pure sand). The only trouble can be the bearings.

Riding in mud is really dumb if you want to keep you trike new looking. Once you get sand on your riding pants and on fender plastic and gas tank decals it is the equivalent of sand paper. I know because when I was a kid I wore my ATC 70 decals away and rubbed the paint off the tank the FIRST time I rode in really heavy mud. I was 8 years old and cried..ha ha!! I never ride in mud again.

KEEP it looking new and don't be a dumb ass....be original and take care of that thing...there are plenty of new bikes to screw up..that is a classic.

Have you ever seen some of the bikes at Glamis...man they look immaculate....thats what I like!

[GreenLightening]

Man, if you dont ride that thing.....Im should go there and run you over with it. ride it and show it off. Its meant to be ridden, and its meant to be ridden HARD.
