my first was on a 185s coming around a turn way too fast, didnt lean into it, went up on an embankment, rolled the bike, got back up, wiped all the oil off of it, drove it home.. i was about 10 when that happened.. then at around 14 i was riding a 4 wheeler down a revine in virginia, got a little on the steep side, use of front brakes didnt help, hit a stump, rolled the bike, bike landed on me, fractured my back, layed there for 2 hours, somone came up the trail and saw, spent a month in the hospital and a year of pt, im 25 now and its helmets and intellegence thatll keep the next wreck from happening.

Had my first and only crash on the old 200S, came around a turn and on a hill and didn't lean into it, luckily I was only going like 20 so i was able to jump off. Trike didn't role either and there was no damage cause the ground was soft. That was when I was about 11 and i'm 14 now haven't had an accident for quite a while cause i use common sence.

450R- never wrecked
400EX- flipped once
250X- flipped at least 10 times
ATC200 flipped twice
ATC250R- never wrecked
ATC250R- never wrecked

Looks like I have better luck on 3 wheels.

my first was on my dads friends 200s. i grew up in homestead, fla. and there was this place we used to go riding called 'steel bridge' or 'iron bridge' depending on who you talked to. anyway, we were out at steel bridge and i was hauling butt down the side of this orange grove and the front wheel went down into a hole about 2 feet deep and about 2 feet around. the grass was about a foot high so i didnt see the hole. i didnt even get a scratch, but the trike was a wreck. i learned a couple of lessons that day.

Honestly, I have ridden trikes pretty hard. Even my old 110 when I was young. (14) I had a dirt pile that was about 4 feet high. I use to hit in at a pretty good clip and get up there, then slam down on those big bouncy tires. Never got hurt. Ever. I have never really hurt my self riding one. The worst thing I ever had happen, was having my right heel sucked under the rear tire, and getting pined there with the bike in gear. I couldnt work my way loose. It had me good. Well after about 20 minutes of yelling my mom herd me. She running back into the woods and found me, and got me out. :D Oh yeah the whole time I was getting burned by the motor. It was still running. I couldnt reach the kill switch from the position I was in. Knowing what I know now, I should have pulled the coil wire loose. Thats the worst thats ever happened to me. No wrecks though. My wife, Thats a different story. :D SHe hurt her self pretty good. Flipped my SX when she jumped out of a retention pond. Shes a pretty safe driver now. I tried to warn her :beer

2 "misshaps" that I can remember. Both involve drifting(sliding sidways...), and these weren't just small drifts, I would be in top gear and make the bike go 90 degrees from the direction that the bike is actually traveling. Anyways, the first on happened when me and my cousin were racing on the lake. I had a Yamaha 125(With 250r/custom plastics/tank :D), and he had a 110. So I was in top gear, did one of my drifts(it was bare ice there), so I drifted at least 30ft(so I still had some good speed) and hit a patch of snow...even though I was leaned on the other side of the bike, it still flipped and threw my like 20ft from the bike. Not really any damage, but it bugered up my shifter arm and hande bars.

The other one happened when I was drifting again, exept this time it was in mud, and I was riding a 200s or es, I can't remember(We own both)...anyways, I slid about 5 ft(top gear), and I seen this little rock pile...and was like "Stop you stupid bike! I'm going to flip!"...so yeah, I seen it coming then I hit it...that one hurt a bit more. Meh, its all good, I just got back on the bike and rode away...but my back was screwed for a while after that. No harm done to the bike.

I havn't crashed my Ski-Doo or quad yet. But if yall want to hear about some bad crashes on go-carts, then I'm the man(and I mean some really nasty crashes) :D

I've been ridin off and on since I was about 9, (37 now) started off on a 1973 ATC70, cant remember any bad wrecks on it but I'm sure I had a couple. Craziest thing I ever did on it was ride it into a lake. That bent a valve and did some minor damage. I remember crashing trying to jump a 1981 185S but that didn't work well, a friend said it looked like a nac-nac. I flipped my SX once when coming up out of a culvert. It almost landed on me but I had the sense of mind to nail the throttle when it was standing up on its tail and letting it go, it spun off before landing on me, That one actually hurt as I hit my head on some rocks. Fortunately I always wear a helmet. :Bounce

3 wheeler-rolled the 200X once, no damage done
Dirtbike-endoed (sp?) too much, over the handle bars
Quad-hit a jump, missed the landing, and bailled off, right leg got ran over by rear tire
Sled-hitting drifts, started to roll, my coat got cuaght on the handlebars, and dragged me with them, under the machine once, back on top, then fell off and got ran over by the track, that one was my worst

I crash all the time. Lots of nasty crashes. Just ask the guys I ride with.

My thoughts are if you have never had a nasty spill your not riding hard enough. lol

My first trike related wreck was on my 82 250r. I was riding across the top of an oilfield ditch near Bakersfield,California and noticed the trike was starting to pull to the left. (down into the ditch). As hard as I tried I couldn't get the thing to go straight. Next thing I remember is seeing a huge tumbleweed just close enough to grab ahold of. Soon after grabbing the tumbleweed for dear life the trike started to head down this long ***ed hill into the ditch. I felt the handlebars jab themselves into my back and saw the trike roll over me and down the hill.
It took a few minutes to take in what I just did before i got to me feet. After i cleared my head I made my way to my trike and checked it out. The only damage was a set of bent handlebars. So i got on it and rode it home. There I used a large peice of pipe to bend the bars back into shape, re-fueled and went out riding again.

Funny thing is this was my first trike and I was 15 or 16 at the time.

your trike prolly is flooded so it wont start 83185s try takein the plug out cleanin it..pull the bike over a few times wile the plug is out...put the plug in drain some gas out of the carb with the bowl screw and then it should fire up....as for crashed on a trike i only had 1 that would be condiserd a crash i think..i was toped out on my lil atc90 this summer and i was "racing" my friend on his 200m..well of course he blew by me..so me i try to catch up and he startes slowing down way ahead...i he started to do a wide turn..so i went the other way..then he cut around his wide turn and i absolutely NAILD his left rear fender pinned out almost..it was on grass so when i jumped on my brake i just slid..lol but my trike hit his the trike fliped up to the left and llanded upside down and i went flying 20ft and landed on my knees...no harm done to my trike, buy i buggerd his fender lol...as for dirt bikes....just a few words...ever seen a ct110 catwalk then land sideways and do a chicken dance on the grounds?? that was in grade 5 when the bike weighd litrally 3 times more than me...lol as for go-karts the worst i have done on mine is run into a tree, becuse of the crappy turn radiuis and the crappy brakes i made...lol:)

never wrecked partially because my trike doesnt run but i was ridding a friends 200S at his lake property and i went to put it back into the garage but the driveway is a steep slope towards the lake and the bike didnt have the best brakes. i almost ended up running into his neighbors cadilac but managed to stall it before the neighbors paved driveway pulled me in. not a wreck but it was close enough for me.

ive wrecked seriously in a sand kart and a dirt bike.
the sand kart incident happened about 1 yr ago( i was 14) me and my freind were flyin through the dunes in his kawasaki 1100cc kart rippin the bowls and trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro then we went for the monster hill climb and we were going fine til we got to the top and we must of drifted over cause at the top theres the downhill part then theres the 100ft razor back....well you can guess what happened then, we fall tumbling down the side of the thing and landed nose first first which absorbed most of the impact. well we just sat there dazed and shocked for half an hour wen my dad came looking for us...and wen we got out we just stood there staring at the wreckage, i mean you coulda counted the peices that werent bent or broken on one hand.

then there was the dirtbike accident which also involved falling down a cliff. lol. i was going along on my old ct110 POS along this narrow trail with thick bush on one side and a 20ft drop to the river on the other. well i was cruising when suddenly a bloody stupid animal came scurrying outta the bush and scared the shite outta me which caused me to swerve violently and guess which i went...yep your rite, i plunged straight into the river. seeing as the bike was heavier it fell first and i landed on the bike which broke my ankle. i pulled the bike out and walked it home hobling the whole way. 3 days later mum finaly decided she had better take me to the hospital after making me walk on it and stuff...i ended up having 2 screws and 2 pins put in my ankle...lol.
these have been my only two serious crashes and both times i was wearing a helmet

Well back in the good ole days when I was 13 and im 15 now, I was riding my 185s that got stolen 2 months after. Anyways I was what me and my brother call a "tornado" donuts. Well do alot of dounts of gravel so the dust makes a tornado like shape. I was doing a good set of about 5-7 dounts, there was so much dust I couldnt see anything, but being a brother I needed to show my bro up(he's 17 at the time). So I kept going hard, then I see a wall, oh dear I said, then before I know it my head and body get thrown hard into a cement wall. My head didnt hit that hard, but my shoulder and arm did, talk about bruises lol. oh yeah the trike had bent handlebars, but a good ole pipe fixed them right up.

And my other time I was 12 and me(on the back) and my brother(driving) were riding and a corn stalk pulled me under the right wheel, not to bad.
But I still ride, just because 3 wheelers are so much fun!

Welp my first wreck was when i got my first three wheeler a 250sx. I was 14 at the time and it was just after christmas. My dad with his 230 quadsport and me with the wheeler went into a feild of our's and just started doin doughnuts and playin tag, well with the one doughnut I found a patch of grass and just like that it rolled on me. My dad was lookin at me laughin his a~~ off while I, on my side with one leg caught under, rolled it off. In that first week of owning a 3 wheeler I rolled it about 7 times in the same senario. I'm 15 now and since then I have had a total of 13 wrecks. None of them resulted in cosmetic or structural damage for my ATCs or me. I'm on a streak now too. No wrecks for 4 months. You only live once why waste it playin safe? :)
