Default T-Rex

So it started out as a typicall saturday night ride hitting all the back roads try to stay local, cuz my buddy was on p.d. tow-call (he's not supposed to leave town when on call). so after a nice little ride we stop for a smoke and beverage. They our friend shows up in his t-rex. I know its not a Honda but DAMN that thing is cool! I never rode with this guy before so i was curious how it rode. He was leaving us in the dust around the corners, that thing handles like a go-cart on steroids! Then we hit the town and cruised through some local hot spots, it was like riding with a move star. Everyone stopping to stare and take pictures. Plus the stereo he added was nice to listen to at red lights! When im old and cant ride anymore, i gotta get me one those! lol (i also gotta get rid of this crappy iphone camera)

Leave it to me to ruin a good shot with an open trunk!

Looks ok, but for me it defeats the purpose of riding bikes, side car is about as close as I'd go for 3 wheels. I know that we are going to see a lot more variations on the 3 wheeler theme, lot of car companies in Europe are playing with the idea.
If I had unlimited funds, maybe I'd have one so I could take my dog with me on club runs.

if i had the money i'd def buy one. they look badass to me but if i had the choice of bike or t-rex, id get the bike.

now if the arial atom could get registered in the states and be street legal, i'd jump all over that for a dd.

That thing is cool, Dunn.
I've never looked at the t-rex as a motorcycle (or any trike, really). I never understood why people do...

Doesn't mean they aren't cool as hell, tho.
I'd cruise around in one, too, but I'd still have a bike. Kinda like owning a car and a truck.

Its cool and if I could afford toys like that, I'd have one.

But till I hit the lottery, that $55k worth of car / motorcycle / whatever won't be in my driveway

+10! Back in my high school days (before I knew of it or before it was created), I always dreamed of making something like a glorified go-cart made out of sport bike parts. Then I saw the Atom and my heart melted into a puddle.

My mom always told me to take turns. I guess she was talking about rotating through my toys, or something.

I actually saw an atom on the way into work today, we were both stuck waiting to get onto the highway on the on ramp. He definitely got more stares than me

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like a helmet should be necessary for riding in such a vehicle, he almost looked more exposed to danger than me on my cbr and the closest he had for safety gear were reading glasses.
