Made a ramp

[400ccHomemade]

I had some old lumber laying around, so I decided to build a ramp. It's 6 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 18" high. Not a crazy ramp, but enough to have some real fun on. I put a small piece of plywood down to see where I land. If I clear the wood, I move it back a little. So far I'm up to 14 feet and counting! I know to most of you this sounds like wussy stuff, but try to keep in mind this is a 1982 Tri-Moto with NO suspension. Poor little guy............So far I've probably hit it well over a hundred times, and SO FAR no breakage. One thing I noticed though is the rear axle bolts wiggle loose after 10 or so jumps. I just carry a 14mm wrench with me and tighten them up every few jumps. I'm not bragging here, I know it's not that "extreme", but I like it! :Bounce

Might want to take those homemade extenders out if you want to jump.

and get a gallon jug of loctite !

You are destroying that poor 3 wheeler. Get a quad if you want to jump. :mad:

ouch man.... my butt hurts reading it!!!! That has got to be rough on the thing, just het a quad WITH SHOCKS and jump that. I can just picture the front axle comeing off and you landing on the forks....that would blow...................

I'd rather kill a 25 year old beat to hell pile that I got for free than spend money on something nice and beat that. If it breaks, I'll fix it.

Jump anything on anything is what i say, Im all for it. Ive tried to hit 20 ft tables tops on my big red. why would you get a quad to jump tho? I jump my R higher than than my old Craptor. You aint gone big enough untill you break something

Enough of the talk. Get someone to snap some evil knievel pics of you enjoying the view from up above.

[250r'en +TCB]

the reason we said by a quad, or better trike for that matter, was becasue the thing has NO shocks!?!?! the only shovk obsorbtion you have is the rubber on the tires.......

It's an uphill ramp, and I land on the crest of the hill. It's hard to explain, but I am not realy landing that hard. I am landing just as I am switching from going to coming back down. In other words, I'm not really falling and landing. I am landing just as I am starting to fall. So there's really no slamming when I land. Here, I'll attach a pic of what I mean. You can see even though I'm going far, it's not bad. And I should remind you I'm only going 14 feet. Thats not far or high. And I never said I was evil kinevil.

You aint gotta explain it to any of us..... Jump the hell out of that thing and have a good time. :beer

If your not having fun....whats the point. If it breaks...fix it. :cool: ;)

[bigredhead]

It's all about the budget !

if you can afford to " Fix it " .. then by all means.. rock on !

( you'd see me drive NEXT to the ramp tho !! ) yeah.. i'm a poor shmuck.
