Thanks guys, I knew they were going to take all my 3 wheeling stories I wrote on my Face Book page for the next 3 months but I was shocked to see me on the cover. Ever since I told them 3 wheel world was growing again and sent them all the pics of the Mad 70 guys they have really stepped it up on how much press they are giving the 3 wheelers. They have went above and beyond with me, re-introducing me to the ATV would. I have been out of the magazine for the past 10 years from what I used to do, before I did so many magazine projects I just burned out doing 10 man racing teams in the GNCC races and taking care of over 20 sponsors. It just got to be more then I could handle plus running Four Stroke Tech. Life has been much better now life style wise but most people out there don't know where I came from and what I have done over the past 30 some years . Heck most people weren't even born when I was racing. You guys has brought me back into the sport I loved, so a lot of this has to do to you guys, Thanks! It's made it fun for me again building my Team Honda 200x and my Big Red 350. I have more projects coming for next years Trike Fest that I'm started now so I don't run late like last year. So get out there a show Dirt Wheels you are a live by buying their mag.

Math done, subscription paid for. $25 to spend at a place that already gets a nice chunk of my pay check, a trike article to read and a lot of pictures of quads to use as TP should my roll runnith short while chilling on the throne. Any other opportunities like that I should be getting in on? I haven't had a subscription to anything for 15 years.

So cool to see the trike community coming back. I'm 22, a little late to the party I have to admit. But I'm here and aint leaving!! since my first 70 I bought a few years back, i've now got four haha.That 2012 yfz450 has vanished from the garage. all my buddies have begun switching over from quads and bikes. We all owe Mickey a "thank you" for pioneering this. With that said, THANK YOU Micky!

Yes there is, but unfortunately, I got banned for a month the last time I posted one with the link to AMAZON.COM, so I'm afraid I'll just have to continuing enjoying that subscription by myself .http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing013.gif

It will be you guys that keep this going by getting their mag. And really the praise goes to Cain Smead for taking the step to even start doing more with the 3 wheelers. I never thought it would ever lead to a cover shot. I sent a pic of the mag. to my old boss at Honda Wes McCoy, waiting to see what he says about it. Last thing we talked about was the $250 million it cost Honda to pull all those ATC back. He said a lot of them went to 3rd. world countries to build 4 wheelers out of them.lol

I just subscribed, I just wish they continue with the trikes, heck reprint a old article per issue for those that have never seen them or lost their old mags due to divorce.

Come on, how many chromed out, custom painted Banshees does one person really need to look at???

And don't get me started on the UTV's, how much fun is driving a cab off road?

I don't know what else they will be printing but I would think they would do something on a TPC bike or something like that.


I know what you mean about the UTV's, I don't like driving, I want to ride and slide!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the best 3 to 4 conversion I've ever seen-I'd rather have it in trike form but it's not a bad looking quad.

The Bug era ended in 2003. Most of the final edition units got shipped out of Mexico because the Mexicans didn't understand why someone would pay an extra $2,000 USD for a different badge on the hood:wondering

In my 16 years down here I have seen exactly 2 trikes that weren't mine and I imported mine. I met a guy with two Big Reds, but didn't actually see them. You'd think if there were new ones for sale in 2000 I would be seeing a few more, but maybe I'm not in the right place. Where was your buddy living?

There isn't going to be anymore stories in Dirt Wheels, there was still too much more to print. I was happy with just the first one, let alone 3. They told me they are going to put it all on their face book page I think, after the next mag. comes out.

Yea I seen that. You should talk to Cain Smead at DW, they are looking for more old school ATC racers to do this.
