Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Death of the 3-Wheelers

Buuuulschit.

I'm older than I look mothafugka.

Flave since you are so mean to me you are no longer my brother.... ha
You might want to PM , MCH he knows everything and people with hello's , he even wrenches on them maybe he could help you bumm a flyin gig?
Just remember , hold my beer and watch this is frowned upon in the hello world....

Hey I like MontanaCreekHunter.

We could all be brothers.

Yeah, that's obvious. They're uptight as fugk. Not sure how Dan gets to drive one and I don't.

You should make MCH your BFF......

And the only reason Dan was allowed to fly them contraptions was cuz he was getting shot at.... nobody wanted that gig at the time..
He is a barbarian and the perfect man for the job though....

I was all ready to be certified as a HECM.....or Helicopter Crew Member.


That was before they decided they would have to burn fuel in order to get the useful load high enough to take me along. We did load calcs and I was the load........


Out of ground effect high up on a hot day???


Fuggetaboutit.

Of course....when Conrad is in a LZ............it is always to be considered out of ground effect.......

They made trikes even more evil that the mighty 250R. Google 500 Tiger trike. Bucket list right there.

I got dinged up a few times on ATC's as a kid but I was also hauling cow manure out in the pasture among other farm chores by myself at age 7 with a tractor. Grow up tough and smart or die I guess.

Deflave, if you want to fly, hit me up. I have a couple flying machines and I don't give a crap about rules.

They're pretty cool machines though.

I call them "the snowmobile of the sky."

I just googled that Tiger and it looks cool as fugk. MN built too, eh?

Same video says KTM made one? That's insane.

I don't make it to MN often but if I do I'll hit you up. I've flown planes but never a helicopter. Would be fun to get smashed and take one for a spin.

I'd love to stuff a 520KTM engine in a trike chassis. Permaboner.

My flying machines have the spinning part behind you.

Buddy of mine had a Big Red when we were kids. Never owned an atv myself, always kinda wanted a Suzuki Quad though, just thought they were kinda cool.

Flyin'm is easy, it's the hovering part that'll phuoc up your head. At first.

Being bipolar helps.

Three wheelers were the next big thing when I was learning to hunt, and riding double was common. It was hard to go a weekend without falling off one, even at low speed. I ran out and bought a 200 Big Red and managed to hit a rut and flip over the handlebars. I landed on my back and had managed to break my wrist of the hand that was mashing the throttle at the time I hit the rut. I had to switch the throttle of the machine to the left side, put camo tape on the cast, and learn to shoot a scoped rifle left handed for one season. I also had to learn to write left handed or a couple of months. (ETA: I had to learn to shift the manual transmission of my Toyota truck left handed.)

Every lawyer I ran into (a LOT) wanted to sue Honda for me, but I told them I knew they were dangerous and I knowingly took the risk. At least I had a better story than the people who broke their wrist tripping over the family dog or their kid’s toy.

Haven't had any mishaps yet with 4 wheeled ATVs and UTVs.

Back in the day I drank like a fish and rode like a demon... for years and had no injuries..... love three wheelers...

Haha. That'd be cool.

I'm sure I can fly them just fine.

It should be little and blue.

My flying machine has a O-300 in it.


Check mate!

That tiger 500 is pretty cool. Never had heard of them

me and my brother wore a 90 out back in the early 70s never a broken bone but some of the best fun I can remember

Yep some can ride, some can't
