took a ytm 225 dx and a honda 185s out to our local riding place in my little ford ranger. we were riding through a creek bottom and I have to admit the only reason I got kinda stuck in one place that the other guy wouldn't try with his honda is because I had me and my wife on mine for a total of 350lbs 220 for me and 130 for the wife. And even then we got off and I turned it around in the mud and rode it out. Had a blast and the trikes show it. Unfortunately I left the camera in the truck but am planning on getting some spy glasses so I can show some of my riding places, and some of our monster hills we have. Enjoy the pics.

That's nothing! I have a pictured saved that was posted here. Five trike in a regular little Ranger. Literally hanging off in all directions. That'd be SCARY to follow behind!

A guy wanted to trade me a 250R for me 200x one time. He showed up with it in the back of a Jeep Wrangler. The forks were ratchet strapped to the front seats, and the back tires were hanging out the back of it.

I am trying wrap the thought of five trikes piled into a ranger, and it's not a pretty sight. lol I cant wait to finish my green dodge you see in the background of the pics finished up so I can start hauling a trailer and load three trikes in it plus coolers and bbq. We are going to start doing some camping trips this year with all my trikes and a friend of mines trikes and yzf 250 dirtbike for a good 3 day trip.

For TF last year: I have a 6 1/2 ft bed on my F150. I put 2 Polaris Scramblers ( these are large machines ), 2 atc 70's, 86 125m on back. The bed has a side toolbox mounted in it as well. 2hr drive with NO issues.

Another time at TF we loaded 4-5 machines in a 88 Ford Ranger. Yes there are pictures of both loads out there.

Years ago we loaded a trailer for TF. There was like 15-17 machines on it. It was called the TF Express. Some people use their trucks / trailers. Some use them to their MAX capacity. I'm told I am on the "Max" end of it. LOL

I thought I did well with a quad and 250r in the back of a Isuzu pickup.And 2 250rs in a s10.But you beat me by a long shot.When you want to ride nothing gets in the way.Iv heard of people strapping trikes to the tops of cars before.

oh my god now that's bringing the whole family there lol. I just don't like my machines perpendicular like that. I always get the thought of oil going into the wrong places in my mind, like a car upside down for a few hours. now I know that the machines are nicely sealed and that won't happen but it's just one of those things stuck in my head.
