    Andre the Giant

    I was watching his biography on A&E a while ago. Several pictures they showed of him he was on a Honda Big Red ATC.

    Andre was a triker!

    He was so big the Red looks like a 70 under him!

    I was editing my post to point out that very thing smokinp while you posted! It wasn't quite that bad but he did make the trike look small.

    I went back and watched the rest of it. It went on to say that one of his favorite things to do was ride his ATV around his ranch in North Carolina and check his cattle. Still showing him on the big red.

    It seems cool to look back on it now. But back then, that was the norm and what was out there in the ATV world.

    I actually have that biography about Andre on tape. I bought it from amazon.com. I also have the magazine entitled "Spotlight" that the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment) did on Andre right after he died. It has several pictures of him on his Big Red. And even though it was a 250 size, Andre STILL makes it look like a dwarf!
