Amazing how many blame the three wheeler for incompetent operators too. I can’t tell you how many times someone has told me how dangerous they are. Same folks often have no problem with street bikes.
I loved those death traps..... seriously back in the day I had a big red and a 250R watercooled two stroke.. that thing was a beast. I painted the big red camo and it was my hunting rig. The 250R was for shredding the dunes.... damn good times and lived to tell about it...

Good riddance. I hated the things. But I raced motocross on two wheels. Could not force myself to turn handlebars. Embarrassed myself on my friends 3-wheeler.
Guy I used to work for brought home a 250R one day on the flatbed of his welding rig. He told me to unload it and tear it up a little. When I asked him where his ramp was he called me a puzzy, fired it up and dumped the clutch enough to pull the front wheel up while he jumped it off the bed and tore across the pasture.
I rode it enough to know that it was tons of fun but too much power for my skill. Probably rode 50k miles on a 1985 250SX though, slower more civilized 4 stroke machine with about 5x the suspension of the BigRed.
I bought the last Big Red 250 3-wheeler our dealer sold. Rode it almost every day for over 20 years. It was way better than any 4 wheeler for sharp turns when corralling cattle. Not as good as a horse but always saddled and ready to go. I wish I could buy another one just like it. It was $100 dollars cheaper than the 4-wheeler. It was raggedy but running good when I sold it to a neighbor kid and he blew it up in 2 weeks. Some things are just dangerous if you aren't careful, like horses and chainsaws, and worst of all probably snow skiing.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
