Trikes

[MACHINE]

Wonder how hard i’d be to bring those into Canada thru customs etc. They sure look sweet TPC Trikes is the builder.
wish honda would bring back the ATC 250 R old 2 strokes, nice to dream a bit with those restrictions etc, lately.

Owner of TPC is an A-hole to deal with apparently. The quad conversions are sweet though. Can always do a dirt bike conversion with BVC or DT motorsports.

Thank you, Sir.

This is a 2006 Yz450F bike conversion using the DT kit. Comes with custom triples, front hub and axle and a sub frame. Need the donor bike and yfz quad as well. Swap the triples and use the dirt bike forks. Take quad swing arm and cut like an 1/8” sliver off the one side to fit it in the bike frame. The subframe allows you to use the quad rear plastics and seat. The kit runs about $2000. Then whatever you can get the bike and quad for. The BVC kit is the same idea, but they also make their own swing arm. It’s about double the money.

Lost a few teeth I recall on the Honda.. were fun but dangerous

Only as dangerous as the rider. Don’t respect it and it’ll bite you. Same for any machine truthfully.

The senior managing director of the Honda Motor Co. began weeping on the witness stand Wednesday when an attorney gave him a list containing 789 names of victims--about half of them children--who have died in accidents involving all-terrain vehicles like those built by his company.

Superior Court Judge Ben Hamrick immediately called a recess to allow Tetsuo Chino time to compose himself

The CSPC did a huge study on the 3 wheeler. They found no inherent flaws with the design. Although they had a lot of recommendations as far a warning labels, user manuals, safety courses etc etc. They were never banned as most believe. The big Japanese 4 along with Polaris signed an agreement called the consent decree, where they would stop the sales and manufacturing of 3 wheelers. And by doing so they also avoided all the impending court cases and being sued. As the US way is to sue someone regardless of whose fault it is. The 2stroke race quads went the same way other than Yamaha. Look at all the side x side cases against Yamaha and the rhino when people were to stupid to keep arms and legs inside the machine and wear the seat belts.
