As my old man puts it "every time i go out too the shed there is another 3-wheeler there. This is getting ridiculous!" 6 months ago my parents were dead set against 3-wheelers. There were not too happy when i got my 250R thought. Anyone else have this problem?

Ya my wife same way, I stoped trading trikes when I got to my R, Now im building a 480r in my basement, next to the washer and dryer, my thoughs are if she see's it everyday she might start to like it.

haha. Well i am going to sell my SX and i just gave my brother my 200M. So once the SX is gone i will be left with 81 250R and 83 200X. That is good enough for me. I have all the parts i need to make my 250R mint on the way. The 200X runs great but i am going to buy new plastics, a pipe and tires then it will be mint.

Had that problem until she left! Former GF never liked the fact the trikes got garage space but not her car. It was the straw that broke the camels back when the 250R found it's home in the living room for a rebuild. Now she's gone and the R's almost complete. New GF actually likes to ride(atc185s), and doesn't mind the R in the living room. So....I rearranged the garage a bit, and now she's got a parking spot.

They need to learn that if its not one thing, it is another. Guys always need to have at least one hobbie they obsess about. If it isn't 3 wheelers it's old cars, or motorcycles, or video games (current generation), or guns etc.
It is just how we are. They should be happy we aren't into more expensive hobbies.

i have to agree they are addicting.. i currently have 3 trikes and a quad all in various stages of builds and upgrades... also got a full size bronco rock crawler and two street bikes.... i was single for quite a while and i finally fond a good girl that puts up with my shenanigans... ane heck she even is taking part in the rebiuld of the trike for her... But we have a understanding that now parts will get any further than the dining room... gotta love her i know i do and she is supportive as long as the bills are getting paid....

Heres the bronco she calls it the MISTRESS>>> its hard to split time and money between her the trikes and the truck but it helps she enjoys wheeling and riding

Yeah man...I have the same problem...I don't have to fabricate much of an excuse to justify buying ANOTHER one. I have 11 Honda ATCs , from runners to projects to parts, and I have lots of spare engines lying around too...even if I don't need them, I buy them anyway if I find a good deal.

I am into each and everyone less the gaming currently, you mentioned! But I am single... but I am working on the g/f!! She got into sportbikes because of me... now ATC's.... and now fire arms.... Between us I have 2 sportbikes.... 1 Atc200s... a few fire arms.... Her a sportbike.... and my Christmas gift to her... a ATC200... and waiting on her to choose a firearm! The other day she said," because of you my garage is filling up with toys! " I had to laugh! And yes these little trikes are like crack! A buddy of mine went from 1 to 6 in less then a year! I got 2 in 1 month!
