"Overwhelmingly heavy and grippy rear end", had a girlfriend like that once.
😳
Was she as fun and as dangerous as a trike? If so you are one lucky dude!
This might be the funniest comment I’ve ever seen in my life😂
that was funny!

"... you have to think like a Kardashian ..." Now there's a sentence nobody saw coming.

I had this exact model as a small child. This quote got me, "...every action has a random and escalated reaction". Even with the low psi, it was like riding on 3 basketballs. Loved that little deathtrap.
I worked on a large rugged ranch back in the day where these were one of the most common ways to get around. They are all but indestructible being so simple. You truly learned to just trust the machine if you ended up in say a downhill field of boulders. They could handle terrain that no dirt bike ever could without a stunt rider. And dirt bikes are far more fragile.
We had one. My oldest brother wiped out over a hill. Sand went in both of his eyes. He had to wear patches over his eyes for a few days. MFer was blind for a few days
@@default123default2 I fail to see how his own stupidity was the fault of the ATC.
@shredit_nyc : How exactly was it a deathtrap?
Because you were simply too young, not taught how to ride safely, and your parents made the irresponsible decision to let you ride on a machine without adequate training or riding experience?
Huh... go figure.
@@turbodiesel4709 Lighten up, Francis. It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. Again, I loved my 125m. And I REALLY loved the 200x I had after. I learned how to ride these machines and didn't push beyond my abilities (thankfully, avoiding serious injuries). But you can't gloss over the fact that many people were hurt or killed on ATCs. As for my parents being irresponsible. I begged them for that ATC. I'm sure my Mom was hard "no" and my Dad talked her into it because he loved his son. Let's rewind back to 1984. There was no data available to the public at this point on how dangerous these were. Do you think the salesman at the House of Power was forthcoming to my parents regarding the inherent danger they were putting me in? Did that salesperson suggest local options where one could get "adequate training"? Most definitely, no. I don't know where you lived in the 80's and what options you had for training, but all I had was the owner's manual.
I remember my uncle having one of these back in the early 90's. None of us got hurt, but my family never stopped stressing the fact how bad it could hurt you if you were not careful. Now I ride a Road King and I'm still in one piece thanks to persistent safety training done by my father when I was young. My uncle always said "give er", but he is now living with lower spine injuries after flipping his Honda Odyssey. I guess he ignored the "safety" part😞😒
Isn't the Odyssey a minivan? lol...
@@dasgoat76 you underestimate his uncle😤
@@dasgoat76 there was an offroad super go-cart as well
Wow, never knew the odyssey was the name of a mini atv dune buggy.. looks dangerous but fun
It’s a fucking van
This thing is built like something I'd "design" in high school science. Suspension? Nah man it's got tires n shit it'll be aight
They had suspensions, 250r,350x, but the little crap ones were still way more versatile than any two wheel cycle, snow, no problem, sand, no problem, river crossing, no problem just float it across, ice, fun as shit.... I've owned several three wheelers and they are the absolute best all terrain motorcycle based vehicle you can find. If you don't know how to ride em, then stay on the couch. A fork is dangerous if you use it improperly, a bar of soap can break your neck in the shower, if you're stupid enough and careless enough, just being alive is a gamble. I'm so thankful that i grew up back in the days that snowflakes and cowards just hid in the closet where they belong.
Great comment! hahahah
@@dimetrekorsikov5643lol great comment my hubby said he had a cr250 trike with no brakes for a whiole summer as a kid. Balls to the wall
Ehhhh
Dirt bike does everything it does better, cheaper, safer, and faster
Quads and trikes are useless in deep mud, compared to fat tires on a rice beater
Then again, ive only ridden in the tropics
@@dblackdrake I've been riding everything that has wheels since 1975 , had every kind of dirt bike, street bike, three wheeled, four wheeled, six wheeled, amphibious, and three wheelers smoke two wheeled cycles hands down in sand, mud, loose gravel, ice, snow, because you've always got two tires that have power while the third keeps it balanced. Any vehicle will bog down in deep mud because of ground clearance but there is less weight applied per square inch of surface contact with three wide tires than two. It's simple physics. 1,000 pounds on three legs is 333 and change per leg, verses 500 per leg on two. Same principle with 18 wheelers, I've hauled 60,000 pounds over dirt roads when they're wet and it didn't leave any deeper ruts than a regular full size pickup with a one ton load in the bed. The weight is distributed over a larger total area and a larger contact area at the tread. Bring your two wheeled fat tire bike out to our farm and put your money where your mouth is. We'll run a cross country severe terrain course and winner keeps all challengers bikes.

@@gw8677 Go to 5:12, Just after the don't cross a rut downhill bit...
My dad owned one in the 1980's. He and his friends were recreational hunters in the Florida Everglades. Flat, very muddy terrain in most areas. When used as intended at slow speed, the ATC seemed safe. We only used it for economic transportation to remote areas and never had a problem with it. Unfortunately, people going out tearing up the landscape and injuring themselves ruined it for everyone.
Even for that a quad makes much more sense. The trike's big problem is that you cannot avoid any obstacle because there is no gap between the three tracks it runs on.
This style of trike is re-emerging in the ebike market. There's a single wheel up front powered by a hub motor, and the two rear wheels are worked by the pedals with a fully open differential. It has a little cargo basket on the back. Horrifyingly, these deathtraps are being marketed towards the disabled and the elderly. I've seen comments from the unfortunate people that bought them complaining about how they lose traction on even slightly loose terrain, and how squirrelly they handle.
Better to just stay at home on the couch where it is safe.
oh yeah, are you talking about stuff like radpower's new trike? yeah i didnt consider it from the angle of this video, but now that i think about it there's a lot of them lol
I ride one for a living (parcel delivery) and can confirm that it's about as stable as my parents' marriage. Kinda fun if you're up for it, and nippy in a straight line, but I wouldn't recommend putting anyone disabled or elderly on one.
My mother has a little electric 3-wheeled mobility scooter. She tipped it over in the first month of owning it.
Luckily for everyone's ankles, it's not capable of dangerous speeds.
I rode a front hub motor ebike for a few months for work, and I ran into exactly the same issue with it losing traction at the first oppertunity, especially considering most pedal-assist sensors act like on/off switches with serious lag time. I wouldn't shed a tear if front hub motors were banned.
Pedal trikes usually handle like complete shit even without a motor. It really doesn't sound like a winning combination. Although, maybe the front wheel drive could cancel out the one-wheel drive rear axle's worst habits...
I ran myself over with one of those things. Once I was brought back to life I got back on and ran my self over again
I had the same thing happen with a shotgun. Blew my right foot off, got better, blew the other damn foot off
I hope this was a joke because I laughed my ass of at this
Took my friends trike for a ride when he first got it immediately opening it up straight down the street and flipping the shit out of it on the first turn shooting pieces of plastic all over the place. Spent the rest of the day trying to put it back together before his father got home.
Yep, with those soft wheels, that was a relief when we ran ourselves over. haha.
Good job perfect guy thing to do
Step 1: Buy a dangerous adult toy for your small kid
Step 2: Watch the kid get hurt
Step 3: Sue someone, anyone, doesn't really matter who
Step 4: Repeat from step 1
exactly what happened I lived thru it all 4 wheelers did was make people think "safer" and what has happened is people have gotten dumber with larger CC machines. WHY DO YOU NEED A FACTTORY BUILT 700 CC and up built machine. Look at stats nothing really changed as far as accidents due to negligence of operator or owner of machine
It's the murican way! MURICA BABY! Land of the sheep! Bbbhhhaaaa
There'd be dozens of us riding wheelers and people always hurt no one ever sued around here, must be a MT thing where we take care of each other. Don't forget where you came from! Happy riding!
I worked with an asshole named Cusimano who tried to sue Honda when his unattended kid was seriously hurt. He lost his case.

You forgot to mention 'Surplus to my needs.'
That exact spill happened to me on mine on 1979. I was just 9 so I couldn't straightened it back up. I had to walk back 10K in shame and covered in mud head to toe (no helmets mandatory back then) to ask for help.
yup, here too. 9 years old ran one into a chain link fence, it jumped, capsized and squished me. luckily the "u" of the seat came down straight on my chest otherwise would have been a pancake. light face scarring from the fence.
if you crash em, they do the exact same thing as flopping off sideways
kinda had the same thing happen on a buddy's moto 4. i hopped on his bike to test it out for some reason, and didn't know my non-uncle had put up a fence panel where there used to just be a break in the fence. the thick wire panel wasn't painted, so didn't see it til it was too late... smashed through it wide open, which wasn't that fast since it was a crap moto 4. but enough to roll and spin it. ended up on the right side of the bike facing back where i came from and stuck cause my shoestrings got caught on the shifter. but didn't really hurt anything. i did have a nice fin brand from flipping my 300ex on top of me, less than 100 yards from that same spot probably. told everybody i was from burger king, grill marks bud... but then i was the exact same size when i was 12, which ain't small... so i could throw the bike off easily and just burned my knee a bit. well, a good bit cause it was definitely the size of a decent burger patty. but nowhere near bad enough for er or anything. and i had an awesome scar, well scarS... for years. never had 3 wheelers, my cousin had one or two. but that was my older cousin, and his younger brother that was my age didn't get to ride em much. i do remember him rolling the shit out of it crossing an off camber berm. but he wasn't the brightest apple in the box. also didn't get hurt i don't think. other than normal scrapes and bruises cause he came off at like full speed. think it was a 250x or so. he had a 250x quad too. never really had much interest in 3 wheelers, just 2 or 4. but then, they were banned by the time i was like 5 or 6 so weren't that many around.
Wow, that must have sucked.
Before I got my first motorcycle in 1973, I rode a small 3 wheeler. Yup, I tipped it.
We had 250cc ones and they were great, the extra power made all the different to stability, We also put a big axle kit on ours and made the 400 wider (200mm each wheel. And that stopped them rolling over, We put 3 gallons of water in the front tyre and that stopped them flipping over, so all were fixable.
You dont hear about water in tires often. Flat track motorcycles have been known to run a rear tire full of water for dry slick conditions. First time I picked up a water weapon it blew my mind.
Extended axles and a wheelie bar were probably the only things that kept me out of the hospital with my 250r. That and the healthy fear of death you got every time it hit the powerband and lifted the front end.
"ATC demands serious riders.... we sent in children" LMFAO
lets be real we do this everyday all over the world. Adults cant come to susible agreement. WAR! Send in the KIDS to fight, kill, die for said country, beliefs............ US military is no exception. Brainwashed drones............ yes they may be 18 but lets face it. still a lot to learn.....

This video was shot at stave lake canada bc. When I was a kid we used ride their all the time with our ATC's. I m one of the lucky kids who survived those things but not with out some bruises and scrapes lol.
Classic 😂😂😂😂this whole video i swear lol
One of my mates had one as a kid, and i think we spent more time with the thing on top of us than riding it.
Same! My friend had about 15 dirt bikes and some atv’s. But this thing, this was the thing we were all afraid of lol.
Ive flipped one many times I was never been afraid of it and I would get hurt and I always got right back on, the pussies the governments trying to breed is getting out of hand!!!
@@coryhiatt2322 Ok then say this to a mother who lost her kid to this thing. Do you think she would rather have her son be a pussy or 6 feet under?

Had an uncle get paralyzed on one of these in 2008, he killed himself 2015, miss you uncle jeff, we know you were in pain and forgive you
Rip jeff
😢
sorry for your loss
around that time I had a bunch of close calls on my trike, could have happened to anyone. RIP Jeff
Grew up on ATCs. Wish I still had mine. Remember when my oldest brother bought a brand new Honda 350X in 85. What a beautiful machine. Last ATC I had was a Kawasaki Tecate. Made climbing hills in the local gravel pits easy. Happy memories.
The owner's manual may have called them "ATC's", but where I come from down in the South, they were universally known by one name and one name only: "three-wheelers." I'm pretty sure if someone had said "ATC", no one would have known what the heck he was talking about.
Our word for them was 'trikes.'
We also called them "Three Wheelers" up North too, Everyone did but city slickers.
I started off aa an 11yo on a 110, by the time I was 14 I was racing 250r and winning lots of races
Your damn right! ATC what the hell is that? Come ride my three wheeler
From Michigan, and can confirm we also called them three wheelers.
Three wheelers at dear camp in the 80s in south Texas. Goooooood times
Rolled mine through neighbors rose garden when I was 7, engine burn on leg . Brother drove into a tree after hitting a ditch and got his foot stuck in said tree.
Mom shouted, Dad Laughed and the next day day we back at it... good times.
Add me crashing one of the kids atc's n telling my mom i crashed my bike.
7:59
This happened to me 4 years ago, riding at full speed, im guessing was around 35 ish MPH for the one i was using. Being a dumb kid, i lifted both of my feet into the air, being goofy and having fun, but when i went to drop them back down, my right foot missed the rest, hit the ground, and went straight under the wheel. For about 5 seconds the thing grinded against the back of my calf before i came to a full stop. Most of my skin was practically sanded off by the tread, and i had to go to the ER, which was a three hour, painful and screaming car ride away.
Thankfully it wasn't too bad, they cleaned it up and gave us a bunch of ointment and gauze to take care of it. It took about 2 months to fully heal and actually left little to no evidence once it was healed.
Definitely the most painful experience of my life. These fuckin things are evil. Yet, i want one still. They were a big part of my childhood.
so you failed to win your darwin award?
@@GozonTheGonsarian fortunately. Or unfortunately, depending on who you are i guess.
But like... why not just add another wheel and get an ATV?

Started riding my Honda 70 three wheeler when I was 11 or 12 years old. Still have my 84' big red today and still starts easy, runs like a champ and never have injured myself. It takes skill and respect for the machine. The problem is that people who have neither were put on these and was bad deal.

We had one of these laying around our property as a kid.. i can’t tell ya how many times my cousins, brothers and I flipped this damn thing. Was a lot of fun as a child but seeing this video now makes a lot of sense!
We had one. My brother wiped out and filled his eyes with sand as he hit the ground. He had to wear patches and was blind for a week haha
Two of my friends had those when I lived in Alaska. One of them broke his leg. The other one ride balls out and I thought he was crazy... he was definitely skilled... great explanation of why he never got hurt.
Riding balls out was the way they needed to be ridden. That was me back in the day. Timid people git hurt because the vehicle NEEDED to break the back end loose to turn.
My dad got me one of these when I was 3 in 1987, good fun and questionable parenting!
My cousin had one when we were little, that was after they quit making them but his dad did a lot of trading
@@ethancooper1560 I still have one
My uncle had one in the early 70’s.
4 of us “Tweens” piled on riding around the back 40. (without helmets or pads)

You love Ryan, in my book that makes you a cool grandpa 👍👍
I have a 185S and it’s probably my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. In the winter you can spend HOURS thrashing it in the snow, it just floats! Drifting and jumping… in the summer you can do MILES on tight technical single tracks through the woods or sand dunes. Best part is I can load it in my Avalanche solo without ramps and it fits with the tailgate closed. Can’t beat a pullstart, it’s amazing in the mud. And super reliable. What more do you want? Like Ryan said the secret is to ride them aggressively, my wife tipped it being too timid when turning. She’s fine without a scratch. They’re not as heavy as a quad.
Yes! All those things and more!
I had a lot of fun on 3-wheelers in the 80s, and I turned over a few. It was possible to corner fast in them without tipping them. The problem was when you hit unexpected bumps and rebounded uncontrollably. Fourwheelers, on the other hand, had similar risks while also understeering so horribly that you're more likely to hit the tree directly rather than flip trying to void it. And WFIW, many people have had unfortunate control issues on snowmobiles, but those still exist.
Agreed. 3-wheelers were amazing machines and could do one hell of a lot, as long as you knew how to drive them. Wish they'd make a comeback.
Absolute Madlad for riding this without dying.

She seemed genuinely shocked when I said no. apparently I was the baddie and I was trying to ruin Christmas because she'd bought the quad without checking what PPE or training was required. It was funny when she asked how would I know what helmets where needed and I pointed to the bright yellow sport bike parked outside the shop and said "because that's my daily driver".

Man, this thing sounds exactly like that little red Honda quad i used to ride. That thing was so lightweight it was like gliding on the trails once you stood up on it. When they told me it was from the 80s I couldn’t believe it still worked as good as it did!
Dude you do a great job with your videos, I love all the different visuals! Just awesome stuff
We had two of these on our farm when I was growing up, my dad got them as ‘chore helpers’. My brothers and I soon changed them into ‘how many different ways can we hurt ourselves’ machines. Loved every minute.
Only the strong survived~
Lol I’m only 12 but me and my parents own 4 of them
If we're honest, at least through the 80's, pretty much everybody turned them into "how many ways can we hurt ourselves" machines... Most of us who survived also LOVED EVERY MINUTE!
Found one with an extended frame and a dump-bed (manual) about three years ago, and rescued it. Got it running, and someone showed up about a month later who wanted it more than I did... BUT rumor has it, there's one about a quarter mile up the hill from my house, and I can probably afford the thing...
...as they say, "Yee Haw M*****F*****s!" ;o)
This is one vehicle best left in the history books. They were shockingly easy to flip, and when they did it hurt a lot. I rode one more than once as a kid...Quads make more sense.
@@brokeandtired Horses for courses.
There’s a man that used to live 2 doors down from me that paralyzed himself riding up a hill on one of these while he was in high school. He suffered permanent brain damage from it. What’s sad is he was one of the most popular kids in his high school but after his accident nobody came around to see him. He talked and thought slow due to his brain injury. I never knew him before his accident but he is a nice man and is intelligent. It just takes him longer to get his thoughts out.
Ouch. But almost all the problems mentioned here (except ruts) apply to quads as well (and the old articles/reports/memos are not specifically for trikes)... I will not get a second time on a quad on a dirt track, Ozzy Osbourne and Rick Mayall both broke their back on one (not trying to race) , and a friend's teambuilding weekend with an hour on them left him in a wheelchair.
that sucks
I can guarantee that he would "be able to get his thoughts out" with a lot less effort if he'd had proper rehabilition. Unfortunately, the medical field has only recently learned of the importance of mental and physical rehabilitation in the months after a brain injury, so it's unlikely he experienced it however long ago this accident occured. A proper mental rehabilition program immediately following the injury can reshape their mental capabilities and drastically improve the patient's outlook for the rest of their life.
I road one when they came out. Never a problem. Turned 40 and had a chance to buy a 1984 ATC 200s and still have and ride it to this day. Keep up on the basic maintenance and they will last forever. Still ride mine responsibly and have a lot of fun with it. I'm 56 years old and feel 16 again every time I take it for a ride.
I've flown and ridden in or on most everything. From airplanes to boats, from go-karts to Earthmovers. 3 wheelers where the most indestructible vehicle of all. (Excluding Earthmovers.) LOL
With well over 30,000 miles on my 83 200x alone and I've yet to do an engine rebuild. It did get the carb, supertrap, and a 6in over durablue axle about 30 years ago.
The day after purchase while take a friend for a ride the first time, I give it a little more throttle thinking I would need to compensate for the weight immediately dumping my friend on his butt. Lol
About 25 years ago a friend was riding it much like his dirt bike. It was going to slide it sideways up to us all instead did close to $4,000 damage to the side of his company van. Not even a scratch on the three wheeler.
One weekend a newbie the group borrowed somebody else's 3-wheeler. He took the wrong trail. You went down a steep grade that had a turn right at the cliff base. This Trail was meant for two- Wheeler 's. The three wheeler failed to turn instead rolling this man grabbed a cactus to keep from going over the cliff. He was a sore pincushion but alive. The 185's went over a 30 to 40 ft cliff. It didn't bend the front fork slightly but it started on the first pull and drove them all back to the camp on its own.
Many small incidences over the decades. but regardless of the Motorsport if you play things happen.
All. and I mean all of my accidents were the result of riding Beyond my own capabilities. At the very least I made sure I wore a helmet.
The worst accident I ever had was on someone else's 250R.
I hit a cliff face first at over 70 mph. Two choices: headon or a few hundred feet over. It was the only time I see an extensive Damage Done to any three wheeler. The three wheeler crumpled under me. From exploding the front tire bending the front wheel before breaking its hub and bending the forks back. The engine case broke. As it swung sideways it it broke a rear hub off bent the rear axle and swing arm. My in the 1-2 seconds I'm going to die. With adrenalin fueling my body I hung on. I pinched the gas tank so hard with my knees I bent it. the handlebars were bent forward my hands tour the brake and clutch lever off.
This ride cost me $2,400 for a new three wheeler, and close to $40,000 in medical bills.
I'm pushing 70 still have and ride my 200x 3-wheeler.
@@Ozarkprepper643 Awesome Reply. Take care.
Three wheelers were the most fun off-road vehicles ever made. Lightweight, fast and versatile, you could ford deep water with stock tires and when set up correctly, with the right rider, could match dirt bikes on a motocross track. They weren't hard to ride but they did require an understanding of HOW they worked and HOW they steered. Once you knew, you knew and it was magical.
1978 my dad bought us an ATC 90. We didn’t know what fun was until that day. I was 10 and rode that thing like I stole it each and every single day of the week 365 days a year. Riding in the snow pulling sleds and sliding around corners as fast as it would go. For several years and not a single accident worth speaking of. Riding it came natural like riding a bike. We would later get the ATC 250r which was a beast. Again, years of riding on streets in dirt snow without any accidents… Thanks Honda for making my childhood terrific with great memories…
Agreed wish i still had one
Hey Jason. Was that 90 blue in color? I can't remember if it was a 3 or 4 wheeler, but my grandfather had a 90 ,and then I'm thinking he had a 2 wheel drive 4 wheeler 200 that was blue. If you had a farm, you needed the machine to run levees and check fences without having to walk or saddle up a horse. When the 4 wheel drive came out, talk about a game changer. The 3 wheeler is adored by hunters in thick woods because of the turning radius. The four wheeler was made to go through 1 foot high mud, with no problems. I had fun on those things(all of them) with my cousins, and would get in trouble with my grandma saying" I see you boys out there popping doughnuts." We thought that was funny. Ohhhh memories. Peace ✌

The dedication of this guy is mind blowing. He fells over and over again only to tell the story of this bike and for the context of the video. There is a big chance he couldve injured himself. I dont know if he did or not. Maybe he did get injured(minor injuries). But i respect this guy. Ryan bro,you are the man. Your team is the best i have known in entire youtube for bike content. Yeah there is Revzilla and Motorcycle Magazine but they are mostly watched because of Ari Hennings. He is the main star. But the production value,the Fortnine team is insane.
Good job guys and good luck in future. I believe you guys will be better. Thank you for your effort to create this original insane quality contents. I really,really like when you guys do testing video like the chain lube,fuel stabilizer video. I know there is many but just for reference i gave only 2. I watched all of them,maybe 10 times already,this month. Lol. I lost count because i love them.
Thank you Ryan and Fortnine Team. Huge respect for the effort and dedication. Thank you again.

Beautiful video, Thanks. I restored an early Honda 90 balloon wheel model for my kids in the 80's. They still talk about how much fun that thing was!
I had a 1982 Honda 110. Great little trike. Then a 1984 Honda 185S, 1987 Honda 250. Then the recall happened and I’ve been on 4 wheelers ever since. Thanks for sharing the video post and best of luck 🍀
Lol my uncle still has one of these. He calls it his "assault tricycle" because they are banned now.
I just need tires for mine it still runs had it for 25yrs or more
Aside from they aren't banned, dependent on your state anyway.

Yep, as a 15 year old I almost broke my leg riding one of these in the eighties. Rolled a snowmobile that same day too! That was actually one of the most fun days I had as a kid.
Which is exactly why people are buying them up again. Cause they're dangerous as hell, but you're having the most fun you've ever had!
I don't know how many times I ran my legs over....
As someone who lives near the Oregon Dunes and works in a Radiology department... even four-wheel ATVs are brutal and what's worse is all of the side-by-side vehicles that are just plowing into dirt bike and ATV riders. Side-by-sides are so much safer... for the drivers, not for everyone else. I used to say "street bikes are way more safe than dirt bikes until a car gets involved", but now the dirt bike riders have to look out for "cars" too and people are getting fucked up.
You guys do SUCH GOOD WORK. Thanks for being so excellent.
Big Red 200 and a 250R descended my testicles early on. Thanks Honda, for the man you made me.
The 250r was a sweet machine, I ran the Tecate, not as reliable but wicked radical before kawasaki put the counterbalancer to work, Honda had a great design. Rolled the "evil T" many times, learned solid body english riding skills that serve me well with snowmachines.
Pfffffffffft you had me laughing
It's Christmas Eve and yet here is everyone watching Ryan. This guy is the present we don't deserve.
Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
You too, Ryda!
I've rode the same 90cc 3 wheeler with ballonie tires as pictured with zig zag pattern rode a second 90 bored with a Powroll kit in it total cylinder bout 129cc..had to bore the block so large it had to have an oil galley re walled closed like it was before the mill, and front fork foot pegs for trail cruiser mode..rode 125 similar to the one you tried to ride. I owned and rode 2 200's and also rode a 350x and learned two things day 1
you can ride like the stunt wheel stander sliding through the parking lot sideways while throttling repeatedly or
wish you had the skill to ride
you respect your machine or it will beat the respect into you!!
the Honda 250R is the TRUE death machine.. (Experienced Riders Only).. FACT
My first ATC was a Yamaha Tri-Zinger 60 when I was around 9 years old. Loved that thing!

That was a good line, LOL!!!
When I was a kid in the 90's my uncle and older cousin would ride my brother, sister and younger cousins around in this three wheeler (ours was also red). Two kids on the back wheels, and one on the front. I only fell off it once but wasn't injured, and I don't remember any other accidents. It seems we were all rather lucky after watching this.
I’ve had over 12 Honda 3 wheelers growing up. I learned how to ride one before a 4 wheeler, and that’s what started my channel years ago. I owe my childhood and broken bones to these machines and I don’t regret any of it. I’m a trike man for life
Can we all just appreciate Ryan for all the times he (intentionally) fell from the trike just for us? (And all the Behind the scenes ones too)
Even if he was intentionally doing it, there was still a chance of him getting injured. This shows the dedication he has towards his content that you don't see very often.

Thanks for noticing! The main story on three wheelers is that they roll over a lot. Couldn't tell it properly if I didn't do it haha. ~RF9
@@FortNine Other biggest fun is many people weren't use to a thumb throttle. Many times the 3 wheeler was launched with out its rider, unless death grip came into play at which time the rider got sandhwiched :) . A lot of my child hood was enjoyed on 3 wheelers.

Bad design but amazing engineering, there are so many of those from the mid 80s still running like a clock!
I used to love my 3 wheeler. You have to know how to ride one. Getting on a 4 wheeler afterwards always felt clunky and unstable.

That seems to be the typical reaction in America. "I'm a perfect human being who makes no faults, so whenever something goes wrong it must be the car/bike/airplane/whatever that fails."
That actually seems like the opposite response of most Americans. Usually we blame the person, not the corporation. But that wouldn’t fit your disdain for Americans so I get what you had to do
Long time 3 wheeler here. had a 200x, 350x and 250r. It came down to rider skill and having the rider/machine sized properly. The 200x was fun as hell, 350x was twice the fun and well the 250r was a handful that most couldn't handle. I got hurt far more on my BMX than I ever did on my 3 wheelers, like broken leg, collar bone, wrist, broken ankle all from BMX not 3 wheelers lol. Sure I got countless bruises and road rash from riding 3 wheelers, but I also got them too from riding dirt bikes as well. Proper safety gear went along way even back in those days.
My family had one of the big reds on our ranch, and yes, they are dangerous AF if you’re not aware of its limitations. I used to take my cousins on late night rabbit chasing and never had a crash but my wreck less uncle is a different story, lol
*reckless 😁

I did too. Had tons of good times 1980 I was 12 years old rode a Honda 110 ATC

@@spuriouseffect I don't think in the U.S.A. The liberal have taken over. Last I heard you could buy them in Mexico. That was 20 years ago. Too bad they were fun. You never put your foot down. I never got hurt. Got the wind knocked out of me once that was it.
@@4909849057 If they put the horsepower in them that they have today, it would be a disaster. The 10hp in the 200x was plenty enough to hurt you if you weren't careful.

Hurry someone blame Trump for the ATC
Not a joke...Trump secretly got a slew of investors for Honda and drafted the first request for them to be sold in American stores. This (name withheld: James used as herring) has discovered proof of him being part of the Democratic Party and trying to get Americans hurt and killed mainly using it as a pre Covid population check. He has since cleverly switched parties to throw many off his track of murder and deception. And to make things TEN times worse, y’all know that Honda is a Japanese company that was instrumental in quietly making tanks (three wheeled) during the first and second WORLD WARS.

I should put this on the Donald.win
I had a lot of fun on a Honda 200X. Suspension and decent power without a lot of weight. The power kept the back end drifting nicely, and the narrower tires and wheels were less bouncy and more predictable traction-wise. A Tri-Z was much the same, but with enough power to keep the front end in the air at will. I miss those death traps…😏
Man, I remember wanting one of those so bad. Given all of the news that got dumped on us back then, I'm amazed you survived the making of this video, lol.
Can't believe I'm watching this on UA-cam. The production quality is just amazing.
Better quality than many TV productions
Exactly what I said. Great work by him.
You should see the Husqvarna video then
My friends had them back in the 80's and we rode them to hell and back. My 110 was jumped so hard, so many times the foot peg assembly bolts stripped out and we continued to ride it without pegs. The clutch finally gave way after pulling cars around the yard. Yeah, dumbasses get hurt on anything and we took a few lumps but nobody in my neighborhood died on a 3 wheeler.
I had a Honda US 90, sunshine yellow, with folding handle bars, the 3 intertube tires of maximum pressure of 1.75 psi. The first 2 years were called US 90! The third year they were called ATC 90. The US 90 with the intertube tires would float with 2 junior high boys on, I have floated across 10’ deep creeks, the worst problem was you had to get off, get wet to pull it far enough on shore so that the rear tires will grab traction. My friends and I had a lot of fun with my US 90. It did not have enough horse power to go fast enough to be dangerous. The 125 was the start of trouble, then the 185, then the 200, then the Big Red 250. Every time that they put in a bigger motor, it went faster, the driver sits up higher, it tips over easier!
Hello from north east Montana.
10 miles from the Canadian border.
These videos are so amazingly well scripted that I'm experiencing them as movies every time. Great content guys!
I worked for an agricultural operation every day, back in the 80's checking insect traps, running crews and traveling across the ranches to the office, I worked there for 2 years. Never got hurt, or flipped it, crashed it or smashed into anything.
My wife's stepbrother whom was never accused of being over-intelligent, closed a bar with his friends and got off their Harleys, and went to a friends house. The friend had a 4 of them, they all took off at 2 am racing down a railroad right of way. He got to close to a guywire and it caught his head and snapped his neck.
It happened on July 4th at 2 am, 1988. Yes we did get called after it took his life, and yes its true there are never any good phone calls at three AM.
Condolences. May his soul R.I.P.
First time I rode one I went out of control under a cattle fence that removed me instantly.
Some of the best times I've had while riding was on a 3 wheeler.
We had 4 big reds growing up. Rode the hell out of them but respected them. This was in the 80s. Still have one that needs to be restored.
I had a super red and a little 110 atc, amazing in soft sand, and the 110 had high and low range which meant it could lug up steep sand dunes with no problems. Best fun on three wheels.
What a day the 80's were!!!
@@bandito350 We had a 70, 110, 250R and a Big Red. We raced them. I got my first 1st place trophy on my 70. The 80’s ruled.

The 2022 Honda Sacriste: three wheels to glory. Sold only in Quebec.
Followed by the Yamaha Boatfoot 125, and the Kawasaki Canoeshoe 250. The Suzuki Wagonass follows in 2022 ... With five wheels and a disturbing resemblance to a Kettenkrad.
I grew up in St-Pamphile in the 80's and they were everywhere. Friend of mine broke his arm on a trike. His big brother was super pissed so he took the trike through the same trail later to show us all how it's done and ran over his own fucking legs coming out of a muddy dip, basically 20 feet away from where his brother broke his arm 3 months prior.
I can still see him in my head slipping off the pegs. The trike bouncing on his ass. We laughed so fucking hard at him. We loved that trike.
Had a 110 growing up. That thing was awesome. I can’t count how many times I almost died on that thing.
Lol, I did die on one! At least my uncle thought so. The dogs got out so I went after them on my uncle's 110. I had it wide-open going across a tall-grass field (my uncle yelling at me to watch out for...could not hear him) when I met up with what I was supposed to be watching out for. A 4ft wide ditch had been carved out by heavy rains the month before and I never saw it through the thick, tall grass (actually weeds now that I think about it).
I hit the far edge with the front wheel and flipped forward hitting my chest and face on the flat ground following the far edge of the ditch. Then, the back end of the 110, with all it's momentum slammed right on the back of my head and caused a second, more potent impact of my face into the ground. Man, a broken nose hurts more than I ever could have imagined. My face was covered in blood as my uncle rolled up in his truck. I was not moving because of my warped sense of humor...I wanted to practical joke him into thinking I was dead. He fell for it. He ran over yelling, "NOOOO!"
I did not keep the joke going long as I began to laugh. I don't know how, but I was not hurt as badly as I could have been by a long shot. I broke my nose and it did really hurt, but nothing else.
My uncle still shakes his head at me every time I go visit him and it is directly related to that accident.
Later, I owned a 350X which I loved and rode the hell out of for years. I jumped it off a lip of a sand-dune in Glamis, broke the frame, handlbars, foot peg and dented the gas tank up (FUBAR) and he bought that thing from me and fixed it. I think he did it feeling guilty for sending me to get the dogs. "Hurry, or we'll never catch them!"
Exactly.
A 110 will go anywhere
I got my 110 when I was 8 and I didn’t consider it a good ride unless I was covered in mud and had rolled it at least once! I can also say without doubt that a 110 will absolutely float when the rider is just a little kid. Lol
I wish I still had my 110. Busted my butt many a time…… the good old days!
I started out as a kid on a Honda 200S (I was born in 1970). Then I got a 230 quadsport...WHAT a difference, while I was a little above mediocre with the 200S (ran circle track a lot) getting on a quad was like night and day, and I was magically transformed into an excellent quad rider (since I already knew how to shift my weight dramatically in turns and climbs). Last one I had was in 2009 a brand new polaris 2008 525S outlaw...what a joy to ride compared to that old 200S and 230 quadsport. So much wider and more stable than ever, and a LOT faster too.
The production quality on this video was epic for such a small amount of information :D
As unstable as my ex, just about as much fun to ride. They were a blast back in the day
🤣🤣🍻
I had one of these when I was a kid, and it was awesome! I was 11 years old when my pops got one as payment for some legal work he did for a client. We had recently moved to Southern Colorado from Chicago. A couple of blocks from my house was several miles of open prairie/desert terrain. I rode this thing like a maniac and was never seriously injured. I used to put my little brother on the back with an air rifle and spotlight rabbits in the evening. I sent this thing off jumps that dirt bikers had carved out. No suspension, just sending it on those bubble tires. I would bounce when I landed. You had to learn how to anticipate the bounce and ride it out. We would tow each other on those plastic discs in the snow. I never had a helmet or any protective gear. It was my first introduction to motorbikes and I've been addicted ever since. Currently riding a Road King and an RM-Z450.
Awesome story dude!

@@Yasin-qe7jy It was a great childhood! Colorado is a wonderful plays to grow up.
I was 7 years old when my Dad brought home a brand spanking new 1984 Honda 110. That thing was the toughest machine ever built. I spent every day of my childhood from the time my chores were done till dark on that thing. It was a 3 wheeler but I treated it like an airplane, boat, submarine, drift car, jeep, monster truck and anything else you could think of for years. No matter what I threw at it that thing just kept on chugging along and rarely ever broke for the next 10-12 years. After all the hell I put it through and probably 300,000 miles. I bought a 4-wheeler after I turned 16 and it was great with the 4-wheel drive and made getting your the mountains and deep mud holes easier but nowhere near as much fun. I sold it about 99-2000 and he rode it for at least another 6 years without ever having to do a thing to it mechanically. Those things were the toughest, most reliable thing on wheels I have ever seen or had the pleasure to own and ride.
