This is random, but ive always wondered how many complete three wheelers are owned by all of us on 3WW, and if there is an easy way to calculate this. Its got to be a big number! Anyone got a guess???

why dont every member post on here how many trikes they have that run. Add another post if you get one working etc... or if one dies :D not likely we mostly all have hondas!

It has to be thousands or 10's of thousands. Didn't BGL say we had 15,000 members??

I'd guess where in the 20,000 plus range............... Which is sad in comparison to how many were made.

Whats left? 20% or less of what was originally made??

i'd say DC is on the right track. if we figure out how many members there are, and then can somehow come up with an average # of trikes owned then bam we got our number. my guess is that each member (on average) owns 1.75 trikes

whatever the number is it aint enough !! trikers unite and overthrow the evil 4 wheeled empire !!
YAAAAAYA !!

Well, id say that each member owning 1.75 on average would be a bit low considering most members seem to own at least 2 or more trikes out of the 15,000 members. Ahh, I just want to know though haha!

It's actually a quadracer engine, isn't it?

yea its the LT250r, its ok but i wish the previous owner would have kept the tecate engine even if it was blown. maybe could fixed it or at least parted it out

i have 3. 84 200es, 85 200x, and 85 350x. the 84 200es dont get much time ever since i got the X's. the wife tells me i have an addiction to them lol she is right they are really addicting. but i love it.

I might skew the average a little too.....I have 21 good solid runners in good to great condition and then about 8 parts trikes in various stages :) And yes I agree they are addicting!

I think with 15,000 members. Combined we would be between 45,000 and 50,000 trikes. Alot of members have more than 3. I have 4 as of right now.

now that is funny as hell, my boy timmy is rocking every make and model of honda 3wheelers, along with some doubles and some of them other things like yamamhahas

I know a few of us were over at his house the other day and we easily had 50 plus machines there.

in the signature...these are alive. parts bikes are a 200er and 84 110. i bet there is about close to 45,000

Keep in mind all of the people who do not know about this site who have 2 or 3 or 7 machines. My estimate would be close to 100,000 still good running 3 wheelers here in the USA.

The problem with going by membership count is that there aren't 15,000 currently active members. Some take a break, some never seem to come back. There's no way of knowing whether or not the idle,departed, or inactive members still own a single 3-wheeler.


Perplexing.

BTW: We are looking for #6 for our 17-year old.

Exactly, That is why I dont think we can ever completely know for sure.

it will change everyday, but what suprizes me is how many there really are from member constant finding them. these things are all over the place, and if you konw the right people it seems theres more trikes them quads!

just saw a tri moto 125 and a 185s yesterday sitting at a dealer to be fixed...right next to a 85 xr600!

Funny thing is, that I've found a 250SX, a 250ES Big Red, a YTM 225, a YTM 200E, a running complete '84 KLT200, and an '86 200X.....all within 2-hours of me within the last 45-minutes :lol:

I'm contacting the guy with the 200X. Because of his description and his location, I'm 95% certain it's the '86 I built back in '01 or '02.

The 2 YTM's are at the same place and dirt cheap. I'm thinking of snagging them for creek/slow poking/trail-duty.
