1- You walk into the bike shop and find a special on spark plugs, and you stock up for the year.
2- You leave the radio in the garage on 24/7 so she don't get lonely
3- You don't need a tire gauge to set the pressure in your tires, a quick heel dig tell you all you need to know.
4- You have to start it every time you walk in the garage, just to hear it run.
5- You go out riding, and are'nt happy unless you get dirty
6- You spend more on oil changes than on mcdonalds
7- You have your garage tools, and your riding tools
8- You can do figure 8's on the riding trail and don't NEED reverse
9- Your quad buddies brag about their light weight machines, and you have them beat by 1/2
10- You don't need no stinkin suspension.

I thought my TRX450R was light. 350lbs, it weighs less than a 300EX or a 400EX. My ATC250R only weighs 292.

Here is what I do to demonstrate "You know you love your trike when": I hope I don't sound to psycho.
1)Always second guessing yourself if you locked the garage casue the only thing you care about in there is you 3 wheeler(s)
2)Lie in bed at night and think about your 3wheeler and what you can do to it
3)Constantly search ebay for that next perfect part even though your trike is fine.
4)When friends are coming over you alawsy give your ATC a quick wipe down and have them parked in the garage so your looking at them from the best angle.
5)You think of your trike as having a soul, like an actual living thing.

35. When the heath of your trike comes before your own health (i spent all day bleeding my brakes and didnt eat a thing).
36. When you start talking about your trike as if it has human qualities (ie, she was feeling a bit sick today, she is a thirsty girl, she loves it when i do this or that)

45. (along Bills lines) Everytime you make a turn in your truck, you goose the throttle to kick the end out and "Steer with the rear".

52 - You know the 4 seasons: Riding in the Cold, Riding in the rain, Riding in the Heat, riding in the fresh fallen leaves.
