I remember riding on when I was maybe 8 or 10. Can't remember what it was. The first one I remember what it was, was my 110 Honda. First one I rode and owned, and I still own it.

A Big red in Canada, I was 12 years old. The guy was hiding it from his wife at grammys house.

I'd go faster and faster around the oval (told my grammy I knew how to ride it) and I finally got out of control and hit a telephone pole and the wire. No one saw me, THANK GOD!! :lol: It was a blast........

I've even got a picture of my first 3 wheeler ride. An atc90, at Glamis must have been 1983 or thereabouts..

The first trike I rode was a yamaha 200, I was about 12 at the time and about 4 of my friends and I went 4wheeler riding after school and one of my friends was riding his trike. We was all amazed with it we never been around a 3wheeler before. We was going to cross a creek and he didnt want to ride it acrosses so me being the ring leader of mischief and no 3wheeler skills at all rode it through and decided to do a victory wheelie after I crossed but the front end was amazingly lighter than my 4x4 polaris magnum (go figure!) and I set it up on the grab bar. Well when your 12 that counts as a roll over I guess and we all agreed no one was to tell our mothers what happened that day. Next day same 3wheeler I decided to work on this wheelie thing again (I didnt learn much the first time) Rode a sweet wheelie and got the throttle stuck behind my pointer finger and couldnt stop! prolly the best wheelie ive riden to date went a long ways draggin my butt.:TrikesOwn

Mine was a atc 70, 84 model, i remember revving it and dropping it into gear at about half throttle, dumped me off the back in front of my parents! LOl!

1984 200es.. bump start only. no front brakes, hardly any rear brake.. at 11years old it was the most fun I'd ever had on flat ground..

Back in the mid to late 70s, my first trike I rode was an atc90 when all there was at the time were us90s, atc90s, and the 73 and 74 atc70. I had a chance to ride a 74 atc70 at the time, but I thought I was too big for it then. LOL It was such a blast, my dad ended up getting me a used and partly thrashed atc90 for Christmas and that is what started it all. And the best things in the 80s, 3wheeling for one, and most business had no problem shipping performance parts to navy addresses at the time. Most of my performance parts, including my frame were sent to me when I lived on a destroyer! LOL

honda 185, rode my friends around on the streets in queens, new york. let him ride my go-ped so i could ride his trike. then got a honda 125m later on. my bro and i fixed it. thought it was funny that piston was directed forward. something was odd about the timing on that sucker also. remember my dad and bro were having trouble starting it after they fixed the engine. i threw gas in the tank and pushed it on my own until it fired. ran pretty damn good from that point forward.

cant remember if it was the tri moto 175 or the 86 200x that came first but i had sooo much fun on that little hardtail yamaha pinger, i remember the 200x being all nice and comfy with its nice cushy suspension but that tri moto was a blast, i see another one sittin out next to a garage everyday on my way to work, thinkin about stoppin to see if they want to get rid of it one of these days

I'm pretty sure my first experience with a trike was with a non-running atc 70 when i was maybe 6 or 7. My friend and I thought we could put water in the gas tank and make it run. :D

As far as running driving machines, I grew up on motorcycles. My first one was a 77 yamaha gt 80 that my uncle fixed up for me.

my first 3 wheeler was actually an electric one from Toys R Us. You may not believe it but theres old video of me somewhere burning up donuts on that thing in our driveway and towing neighborhood kids in a cart behind it! Wish I still had it, it would be in the rec room! But first motorized ATC was a friends ATC 70. Ihad an xr 80 dirtbike and I would always trade with him. The my first trike that I got was an 84 YTM 200e. Still got it today, almost 16 years later. still runs like a champ!

My newly acquired '83 ATC250R. I took it for burn for the first time just recently. Adrenalin rush is an apt term to use. These things are mad. It's no wonder they banned the bloody things. I only have 3 words... I LIKE IT!

82 Honda 185 was the very first ride. Remember how they say the rear tires will ride up your leg? They did! Moved on years later to a Yamaha 225 then a Honda 125M not years later again a 200E

77-78 atc 90 in the nearby ymca field by my house. My buddy and i would always watch this dude on it and after a while he gave us rides and eventyally let us ride it. This was sometime in 82-83. I remember it saying atc 90 on the tank, and the rear fenders broken off.

Mine was my neighbors KLT 200...I think it was an 83 model. It must have been 1986....I'm pretty sure he only paid $275 for it and it was like new.....but remember, they were dangerous in 86, so they went cheap.
