......up on two wheels?

Oh yes......and Betty didn't like it one little bit!!! I was gonna show off for some of my two wheel friends and do a burn out but was already rolling about 10MPH with her on the back. When I revved it up and dumped the clutch the front wheel picked up about 18 inches and stayed up for about 15 feet down the road. She was one PO'd little lady!!!

Gdog, Guess I didn't ask that question right: I was wondering if anyone had had their trike on its side with one front wheel and just one back wheel on the ground?

Yes.. it's easy to do if you want to do it. I do it often but would not recommend it to your average rider as you can go over all the way. :AGGHH:

It's harder to do on solid rear end than it is on independent rears. if you have adjustable load...like a VSC or air ride. you can just set it at a very soft setting and at 10 mph or so you can cut the wheel and get the other one up.

I'll practice this in an wide open lot I wanted to know how it felt just in case. Never use your front brake if you are up on two wheel... hit the back brake and she'll sit right back down on three wheels. ThumbUp

No, never did that and hope I never do!! The old Honda "Big Red" ATC was notorious for tipping up on two wheels, especially when you didn't expect it.....also flipping over backwards on hills!!

Don't take this wrong but I've been able to get a TG on two wheels easier than a conversion bike. Didn't do it on purpose either, was pulling out on a road to the right when the right wheel simply decided to come up.

I had 3 Big Red's ' Never a dull moment riding them though the woods.
But i got to say out side of the bumps and bruises :Trike1: they were a lot of fun.
