master of the 3 wheeled bike

[oneup]

cant say i aprove of the venue for this video, to much risk of hurting someone, but as for the trike, and the rider skills, its fairly impressive

Looks like fun. If I did that with my wife on the back, I would pay dearly. Popped a wheelie once by accident on 2-wheels and she still hasn't let me forget it. Was on an Enduro bike. No back rest. I had to clamp my elbows around her to keep her on. :qpnmt:
That parking lot looks like it is painted. That would explain the drifting. I would expect better traction from my trike.

That does look like a lot of fun, but with that much weight hanging out back I would bet that trike does wheelies even when it is not wanted.
I couldn't get a good look at the trike, does anyone know what it might be and/or what engine is in it?

Really takes talent (or lack of it) to do that with no helmet or any other safety equip.

He's got plenty of traction. He just has enough HP to override that traction. By the sounds of the motor, that ain't no run of the mill VW.

i wouldnt be surprised if its some sort of small block v8 with a funky exhaust system, but its too hard to see much

 

[MDGeorge]

Pretty good stuff.

Hope he doesn't come to any speed bumps. Bet he can't go over them.

I believe the the make of the trike is a Kashpir and it does have a small V-8 in it. I have seen other videos of these guy's putting the trikes through real curvy roads and doing slides and wheelies in un-painted parking lots.

Apparently the money this genius saves on haircuts and helmets, goes towards the purchase of new rear tires... :Shrug:

My hair is almost as long as his. Am I a genius too? The money I save on haircuts goes towards more shampoo and conditioner.

I'd say "lack of brains" as well. There's one born every day, if not every minute.

I believe the term "genius" as originally used, is called "sarcasm".

The discussion involved observations regarding "questionable, unsafe and wasteful driving practices". The "benefits" of your personal hair style is not in question and may even be envied by some senior, balding or hair challenged folks.

Can't say I agree with his choice of venue, but that is one crazy trike and looks like a lot of fun.

 

[rmrc51]

Clearly not part of the average motorcycle safety courses, lol. :laugh:

Definitely looks like a lot of fun!! At least he's doing this in an almost empty parking lot with no bystanders in view.

 

[AZTriGlide]

Glad I don't have to pay for his new rear tires or brake pads. Too much testosterone!:xzqxz:

Does prove what I have been telling people for years. TRIKES DONT TIP OVER EASLIY

Look at the Tread Width of that thing...looks like a Full Size Pick-up Truck Width.....!!!!!!!!!...I rode all 3 of Our Trikes "pretty much" like this in empty Sunday morning parking lots to see where Their Limits were on aggressive cornering/braking.....the IRS Trike could stand a lot more (nowhere near the speed in this video though...:xzqxz before lifting the inner wheel...the Two Solid Axle Rear Trikes lifted it much, much earlier, and I could have easily rolled Them if not for cutting "into" the spin, and accelerating really hard and quickly.....Trikes can/will roll over if ridden aggressively enough, a good thought to keep in the back of One's mind when riding Them...ThumbUp Really Good Riders can still take tight corners faster on 2-Wheelers than on Trikes...Trikes can take them at reasonably fast speeds much more comfortably for "most" Riders and especially for the Passengers.....ThumbUp ThumbUp ThumbUp
