heres some pics, all are from the weekend up to the top of page 4. :)

the bloke that needed the chopper fell off a quad going up an extremely steep hill, it rolled on him and i think he's broke his leg and dome some damage to his pelvis/hip http://s550.photobucket.com/albums/ii436/hondaforeman500s/?start=0

Great pics James, trikes have never done it for me, I rode one many years ago and I remember it felt horrible, I think it was a Honda 185cc ??
They must be awful on byways, you could not avoid the ruts !

i love my trike, its so much more involved than the quad but i wouldnt like one on the road. a few of them have their ones road legal. lucky really as 2 of them had to shoot off on the road to get a van to take the crashed quad back. BBC was there too so we will be on the telly lol :)

I had a few ATC'S (trikes) when i was younger and loved them, great fun but dangerous round corners at high speed, they can go just as fast off road as quads, it's all bringing back the memories now of the hours of fun i use to have riding them.:D

They nust be horrible on ruts, the front wheel would have to ride through the ruts surely ?
I rode one in a field and did not like (over 20 years ago lol)

i didnt like it at first, very unstable but as i got to ride it i started to understand it and then enjoyed myself. i dont believe one could keep up with a quad going up a green lane due to the off balance but was very fun! there just happens to be someone with a road legal trike in berkshire, and he's about 7 foot tall so you wont miss him if you see him lol

A freakishly tall person on a trike?

Sounds like someone to be avoided

I cant see that Dave, they dont have the stability of a quad with one less wheel, thats like saying a Robin Reliant is as stable as a car ???
The one I rode bounced all over the place on its balloon tyres, not ideal for green lanes-just horrible in a fun kind of way lol .
