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... 250Rs were the fugkin' game changer yo! Those things ripped.

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. My first bike was a KX60 and I have said for many years that "two wheels are safer than four." I've actually seen this proven via statistics too. But, if you watch the video you can see the left wing dick heads trying to chip away at the quad and the dirt bike too. If it's fun, they hate it.

Haven't spotted a 3-wheeler lately but a 4 wheeler with 3 kids onboard is a fairly common occurrence.
Nine lives on the Rez! Can you imagine stx on the rez? All that "cuzzin" speak would drive him wild.

I have a nice leg scar from stupidly putting a twist throttle on a tecate 250. Good times... The two strokes were crazy .

I always looked forward to a shiny new (to us) red Honda ATV .We only had utility models. That must have been an automatic with the hi lo range selector .

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. They kinda remind of the Banshee back in the day. They just tore.

I've got two Big Reds. My son and I rode them today. I've had several of them over the last 35 years. Would hate to be without them. Shouldn't you be dead?

rode it yesterday ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/cwYa9pS.jpg) That's great! Do you have a hard time with parts or are they easy to find?

Those suckers could sure crawl up the back of your leg if you made a bad move, but they were fun as heck. Buddy of mine had a pair in the early 80s and we rode the piss outa them. Good times!

When you crash they tend to lay down. The three wheelers have bouncy tires and tend to flip forward and smash yo ass. The quads are a little better but still have the bouncy ball tires

Yeah there's no false assurance on two wheels.
