Those quad rutts suck, don't they. Nice vid, makes me want to post some up.

I'd rather ride the quad......but a nice little spot to mess around in....I thought the trike was gonna tip after the 3rd pass at the end of the clip.....Looked like u went over when the camera stopped.

was thats a ATC185 or 200? looks like it did great in the mud.

simple fun huh- looked like a good time

nope didnt go over in the end, good ol foot saved biting it :) its an 82 185s the quad ruts i can deal with, but the bald tires were fun. hehehe got some new treads on it now only thing that sucked was when i went off the bike and caught my leg on the broken grab bar, had a nice gash from that one. A buddy of mine and myself are trying to get a homebrew helmet cam setup going so we can film more of the riding and make some better vids and im going to encode them so there smaller , lol. Thanks for the kind words guys maybe the next vid you see ill have a suspended 185 :D

man nice i wish i had a camcorder to video the stuff i go threw. i go threw some insane mud and clay mix near and in a creek. imagine 20 acres of mud and clay thats where i go. its a blast. any mud is good mud.

man i give u props for riding a 185 in there. no suspention at all. that has to be a hell of a bumpy ride. i was mudding once and my one leg fell off the foot peg and got it ran over by my old buckshots i had on it. it was a bloody muddy mess. wen i say bloody i mean i had blood all over the place. but oooo well all part of riding.

thanks for the props 84honda200s i ride that 185 everywhere anytime i get the chance to go, its a blast , the lack of suspension sucks sometimes but it really isnt too bad with the proper air pressure in the tires. Once i acquire a welder thats going to change, i have alot of pics of the old 185s rear suspension kits so im going to attempt to make my own. shouldnt be too hard. and a friend of mine has access to a cnc machine at the local college so i can get him to make me a set of triple clamps. other then that the only thing id love to have on this little trike would be disc brakes.

The little 200's and 185's do great in the mudd. Back when that was my main ride, I would regularly out do quads and bigger bikes in the pits. I would burry that thing to the bars, and it would keep asking for more. Great mud bikes. My style of riding has changed a bit since. Now I'm just a cruizer.

its still fun to take out the little hardtails and go more places then all the big optioned out 4x4 quads even if you feel it for a few days longer :P
