Huge promotional blow-up trike from back in the day

[rdlsz24]

Never seen this posted on here so I figured I would. This page was in a service manual I got a while back. I believe it is from sometime in 85. Think the Super ATC is still around somewhere? lol

I don't understand what the whole "blowup" was about trikes.

Terrible, but hilarious pun.

That thing is really cool. I have never seen a pic of it before!

[3wheelrider]

[BIGREDGUY]

I would be tempted to climb up there.

[Dirtcrasher]

[NINJA]

That's back from when the fate of trikes was really "up in the air."

[mtsnieg]

I would be tempted to climb up there.

I remember seeing blowup's at the Pontiac Silverdome back in the 80's when I used too go to the supercross event's,sadly the last blow-up I remember seeing was a suzuki quadracer replica though.Now those were the cool day's...

[hoosierlogger]

Nice, but its still not as big of a wind bag as my boss. LOL

[Hair Bear Bunch]

Well... the article states the maker - so if they're still in buisness and they've still got the pattern then what would they charge to make you one? or two?
How about a hot air balloon?

The Govt would never allow that to happen. They would claim it is not stable enough.

They crushed my two $30,000 200cc two stroke works atc's,they didn't save a balloon I'm sure.

When we got a 200 Big Red back from a farmer they let use for the use of his land,it got loaded up in the back of a truck. We were told to get in the back of the truck and give it the 60mph test?:naughty:The driver got going 60mph down the dry lake bed we were tire testing at and we pushed it out the back!:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce,just to see what would happen.:crazy:

Sorry,no hope for a ballon!:lol:

[whipit]

hmmm, maybe they should have just let the farmer keep the big red?? your story reminds me of the time I gave a Suzuki ALT125 the 75 MPH test. This was in the early 90's, I bought this beaten up ALT125 because it has 3 new carlisle strykers on it. It would start and run but the transmission was locked up. so...I took the tires and wheels off and loaded it on my little utility trailer...towards the back....with no tailgate on it. I got going about 75 and then just turned the steering wheel back and forth a bit to make the trailer shimmy....and off the back the poor ALT went. man it was violent. parts flew everywhere and it flipped end over end about a dozen times. Then I did it a half dozen more times and threw it off a bridge into the river.(so if anyone needs any cheap used ALT125 parts that may be a bit tweaked, I can point you in the right direction)

They gave him a new one every year.
