How mad...
 
Would you get if you were a parent and your son brought home from college one of these?

i would'nt be mad at all. hell i'd it take out in the woods myself.

By the way, that's NOT the actual picture of it. Just the first thing to come up on google. The for sale thread didn't have a picture. But, you get the idea cause I don't expect many people to know what a Kawasaki KLT 160 is.

As long as my kid wasn't a complete idiot and was a good rider, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If he was new to quads / dirtbikes I wouldn't let him ride a 3 wheeler at all though.

I grew up on a 3-wheeler. My dads owns a 84 Honda 200cc ATC that I used to drive a lot as a kid and teenager. Problem is, he now believes its a classic and shouldn't be rode at all.

they can be tricky. if your stopped and turn the wheel and hit the throttle it won't turn it will go straight. you really have to learn how to drive them. i bought mine for 50 bucks used it for 2 years and sold it for 400.:lol:

3 wheelers are awesome as hell...but dangerous.

im not saying its impossible i was just saying what has happened and the reasons my parents always gave me when i wanted one well that is on top of the fact that i had a quad a dirt bike and a snowmobile already haha

My grandfather has one that I have been driving around since I was 12. you have to lean hard into turns and be gentle with first gear. They are dangerous but a lot of fun.

cdacda13 04-01-2009 11:03 PM

Well, the answer is, I would have to find a new place to live if I brought it home.

LTb1ow 04-01-2009 11:18 PM
