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.

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

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.

I agree, the script throughout this was a brilliant as the filmography.

Amen!

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.

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!!!

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.

@@gw8677 Go to 5:12, Just after the don't cross a rut downhill bit...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 big red was awesome with its reverse lever!

We’ve still got an 84 big red running around the farm, still works wonderfully!

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.

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

@@FortNine The acting necessary for you to look like a total noob on wheels is impressive..

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.

oof

My left knee started to ache just watching the video...

If you don't get this reference, you didn't REALLY ride a 3 wheeler. I almost killed myself one night trying to throttle with my left hand so I could thaw my right one by the engine so I didn't have to stop lmao! Ahhhh... Good times 😁

@@1121494 just as useful as a stop sign that gets ignored.

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'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.

So many Die Hard references in this video. Pretty sure I didn't get them all. The key taped to the back of the tank with christmas parcel tape was a nice touch.

It IS a Christmas movie, after all. Very nice touch.

@@Porsche996driver that’s what Bruce Willis says when he lights his lighter to see inside the vents.

I just finished watching Die Hard (annual Christmas tradition) when this came out. I loved the references.

I was there that day, Buttercup Valley, Imperial Sand Dunes in Southern Cali. News crew there was basically begging people to put kids on ATC's to "film them" for a news article. No one questioned WHAT KIND of news article.

they are only dangerous if youre an idiot. for most everybody, they were not dangerous at all. super easy to ride and do all the things you complained about.

Best quote ever! LOL

Once my cup of coffee helped my mind resolve the fight between Sesame Street and George Carlin intentions of the comment Sesame Street won. At first it was Weezey did you hear what 😳 he said? Get West on the east on the phone

Those girls have huge gaps in front....

First genuine crackup I've had in weeks

🤣🤣🍻

yep. can't ride something? "clearly it's flawed!!!"

@@worstteammate4377 Yeah, physics may have something to say about that.

They were made by Honda...

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

the Honda 250R is the TRUE death machine.. (Experienced Riders Only).. FACT

The Grim Wheeler Fortune. I'd Like to buy an "Ow", Fat Tire Payback.

They were very fun as long as you used your head I loved them they would move

I had a 1980 atc 110 then I bought the 250r in 86. No problems. Googans crash because of low skill then lawyers cash in.

@@dickflinghammer58 The 250r and the 350x where the real beast in those days. Even the cops didn't had those ^^

me to a friend had one it was pretty fun
