Drift Trike? Does this require using two hands or can I just use one? I'm sure the other hand will be holding an adult beverage of some kind.

Robert,
I just wanna have fun! you really should use 2 hands, There's not much time for drinkin and drivein.

Can you say "road rash"? I think I will watch the action.... I have already spent too much time in the hospital this year.

Wow!!!!! that looks like a blast. Your right, two hands on the wheel is a must at all times. Does Jackson have any hills to make this happen? Are you really bring one? Can I try it? The funny thing is that they protected their heads and not their knees. Can you say road rash.

Robert;

Linda Lu says I need to forget about the trike idea, bummer.
BUT , you have youngsters that may enjoy the thrill ride, and all you need to do is get them a big wheel, or a green machine. Toys r us sells them for your riding pleasure.
They protect their head because that where the brain pac is located, not between their knees as you suggest.
And yes they have a perfect place for trike drifting, you'll see.
I'll have a cold one waiting for you either way!

42 days and counting....

Mrs.Mod · 08-30-2012, 02:37 PM

Geesh, Looks like I should have stayed on the wait list! I could have actually gotten in on this! Oh well, I'll see some of you at Rivernook.

No good answer here. We signed up for Rivernook. I didn't think we could actually get away for two weekends in a row. Mr. Mod has a REAL job. My 'pretend' job allows for AS trips on any whim!

So now that you got my hopes up... I was hoping for Rodeo Barrel Racing. Back in the day I had a pretty fast barrel.

doorgunner · 08-30-2012, 05:22 PM

i had some pretty fast stuff "back in the day" also.stock cars , airplanes, roller blades, 225 cm downhill ski's, intergalactic cruiser skate board,
now all I really have is a really fast kayak.
like the song goes
I'm not as good as I once was,but I'm as good once as I ever was.
bring a barrel of beer, we'll have fun.

ROBERTSUNRUS · 08-30-2012, 07:58 PM

Hi, this is what makes doorgunner great; All of the wild things that he does and yet we never get kicked out.

The older I get the faster I was...

Here's a little something to look at.

Gamera II HPH Altitude Record 8 ft (2.5m) 8/28/2012 - YouTube

Scott J-24 · 09-03-2012, 10:41 PM

Very cool! DG, this looks like more my speed than the Drift Trikes in your previous post....

triterra · 09-03-2012, 10:53 PM

DG did you get a dent roller from Aerowood? If so how did it work? Would you mind doing a demo at JR for us (we could us mine as a ginny (sic) pig)?

doorgunner · 09-04-2012, 08:50 AM

Scott,
looks like we'll be watching the Cats on the bay the weekend before JRRV. that'll be a good time. eat your heart out.
Dent Roller ; yup got one being delivered from Zep in 2 weeks! It's been on the road for about a month now, taking the long way here in the storage area of an old drainpipe thru the pacific northwest and some great kayaking country. I'll bring it to JRRV to show off, as for using it, I don't loan out my tools, but me and the expertise to use it can be had cheaply, just call me over around "beer-thirty".
Also ; there's a big wheel race at Amador City this weekend, 4 th annual. We may head out to have a look see.
