saw this already, makes me sick. The bike ran, so that means that some lucky kid could have gotten that bike for a present. Instead big dummies like this ruin it for everybody. These are the guys that make 3 wheeling look bad.

[ilmoakw]

That guy should be beaten and thrown over the cliff....

[Pafrig]

what about the poor dummy that had to ride it? it would problay be a moderatly easy fix aswell. new axle and new carrier. maybe.

[4cfed]

seen that vid before.. and to make this comment apropriate.. i will you the term rooster...


I SERIOUSLY WANNA PUNCH THAT GUY IN THE ROOSTER SUCKER!!!

poor machine probabbly gave a family a life time of joy, than sat cos the kids moved out so it got sold to someone who could use it and they do something stupid like this!!

that vid actualy in raged my wife, she is walkin around the house yelling obsenitys and says words sailors dont even use!! .. wow shes hostal about that vid!!

[harryredtrike]

ive seen that before on youtube.what a bunch of tools.

[MonroeMike]

What a waste.

They probably left it there too.

[racer....X]

its all fun and games till a 3 wheeler gets hurt......thats just wrong!

[randall_pitz]

im at a loss for words

[cr480r]

Sure thing they completely wasted that trike...but IMO launching a clapped out trike off a cliff is not really a big deal, but they could have at least made a better dummy rider and used a better quaity video camera so they at least had some good video footage. Nobody would say a word if they had driven a $100 POS car off that same cliff, so why should the atc be any different? With all the people out there that have huge collections of trikes that they dont or cant even ride I doubt that one trike will ever be missed... there is still more trikes out there than people to love them...

that 110 in that video is the same year model as the ATC 110 that I am restoring. that makes me sick! I wonder if he would like it, if I pushed his *** off the cliff!!!!

[Trimotomike]

makes me angry to see that. driving anything of a cliff is pretty stupid , but a 3 wheeler c,mon , no reason for it other than igonarnce/imaturity . karmah will return the favor to these guys Im sure

[1985BigRed250ES]

^^I agree 100%

[3wheeledjunkie]

Hell its a Honda, run down there flip it over, give it a couple pulls, it'll fire right back up. Not sure about driving it off though. What a waste of a good trike. Some of us have a hard time getting these damm things running, they had one that ran, look like it rode o.k and couldn't find nothin better to do with it. Idiots, some people shouldn't be able to reproduce.

[mopar_man]

That's pretty sad. I don't know what's worse: dumping that trike off the cliff or parting out much nicer machines on eBay?

[DeePa]

parting machines out keeps ours running...

and as ive said before...they threw a 110 off a cliff...who cares. It was a POS anways.

[mopar_man]

parting machines out keeps ours running...


Except for when the "parts machine" is nicer than most running ones. I've seen several examples of that within the last couple months.

[big yeller]

yep that kinda angered me...wat kind of moron would do some stupid crap like that.

Who cares ? about a trike getting destroyed? I would hope quite a few people here care after all we are all here because we love 3 wheelers are we not ? Atleast parting a machine out keeps dumb sh%t like this from happening .

[DeePa]

id rather buy parts off of a mint machine then deal with the parts you guys trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro up....

[Autophysn]

^^^^^^bah hahahahahahaha^^^^^^^^^

:lol::lol::lol: ^^^

Im sure there are a few on here that would have rather "saved" that toilet than see it launched off a cliff, but your all missing the point,...Its HIS to do whatever he wants to do with it. Im a sucker for old trucks, but im not going to get mad at someone playing demo-derby with one because its something I wouldnt do, its theres to do whatever they wish to it, get it? And it looks like they had fun doing it shens I give the vid a 7 out of ten because of the crappy camcorder

[Trimotomike]

bottom line is anyone who thinks its cool to destroy something "good" for no reason is an idiot , Its probably about time we as people pull our heads out of our a#$ses and quit being so wasteful as if everything is disposable .

[rickybudz]

Truthfully all they have done is made our machines more prestiges due to the fact one less on the planet! You can always email them and ask for parts, should be cheap, cuz they are probably still lying at the bottom of that hill! One more thing and don't jump on me to bad, but it was only a Honda! And not one of those precious Yamaha's! HaHa! Just kidding.

Dumping one off a cliff...most trikes parted out on ebay have memebers on buying the parts they need.

they could of used an old huffy 10speed if they wanted a cheep thrill

[honda200x1987]

You are so right, its one thing to part one out if it has a broken frame or something but parting out a mint atc is crazy. I am out to build a 87 200x with no sacrifice of another ATC. It will be an NOS rebuild. I will sell the used parts I replaced as far as that goes. .. as for the video, that was just WRONGE!

[Autophysn]

"bottom line", "bottom line", "bottom line" hahahahaha, everyone wants the last word! Bottom line, that was just dumb, they would have been better off trading that thing for a case of beer rather than destroy it, but WTF do I know, like everyone has said, their property, their bussines

[oscarmayer]

It looks liek it was rigged to come appart.

just like that stupid cash for clunkers BS!!!

[1984 triker]

what a retard that trike had plenty of life left

[Erics350x]

It was HIS, who cares what he does with his stuff. It was a turd anyway.

[mopar_man]

Here's a good example of "part out murder": http://motors.shop.ebay.com/cycleguy1979/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

You'll find what was a nice 200x and a 250r quad.

[ditchmud]

If you were the owner of a really nice trike but you were forced to sell it. Would you try to sell it whole and only get $1,000.00 or part it out and get $2,000- $3,000?

Now if you and your buddies were sitting aroung getting drunk with nothing to do and you had a p.o.s 110 sitting around with gas that turned to varnish from sitting for 10 years but it still ran. Would you ride it around going WEEEEEE for the 5 minutes that the fun would last? Or would you send that baby out in a blaze of glory doing the biggest jump of its life with video rolling to document it?

Face it machines get parted everyday for obvious reasons. You make more money parting out a machine. As far as wrecking a classic machine for pure entertainment.....don't go see any movies or watch television because you will be really upset.
