Has anyone on here ever been riding along and got there leg pulled unger the rear wheel? I saw a guy do it, and it sucked him off the bike and ran over him.

I had that done last week to me, i was riding along and it was raining out and my right foot slipped off and got caught in the wheel and started to pull me off and naturaly i let go of the right side handle bar and held on by the left, wel you know what hapens when you pull on the oppiste side of the handle bar when youre falling off, the thing rolled 4 or 5 times, i was lucky enough only to suffer minor injuries, i was doing 45 or 50 so it could have been a lot worse.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Now everyoen go get a file and sharpen those pegs! They're supposed to be so sharp you can't ride barefooted!

Those of you with rubber pegs get some "grip tape" from a skateboard shop and apply to yours. It's the stuff they put on the tops of boards to help keep their feet in place.

I did it when i got my first trike. I rode motorcycles a couple of years before i got my trike. I got so use to using my leg to lean when i went around corners that i forgot and had nice tread marks up the back of my leg. I had shorts on, so there was a little skin missing too. :doh: :bash:

I've never done it yet, and hope not to. I am in recovery from my Big Accident right now. About 6-8 weeks ago, I went up a very long, steep hill, and the bike fliped backwards, and the whole bike(350X) landed right on my left foot, and completely snapped 3 of my toes,I had to go in for surgery, and they put 3 metal plates and a bunck of pins in my foot.My X rolled roughly 18 times, I didn't realize my foot was broken for a while, because I was so tore up from watching my beautiful 350X rolling and bouncing 10 feet in the air. Luckily all it did was bent my bars pretty good, and my Brand New six pack rack:mad: .

I honestly thought I was going to have to change shorts,it was so funny one time, one of my buddy's had a 350X, and was scarred to take it down a hill, so he thought he'd just get off and walk her down, the good ole back wheel caught the back of his legs, and rolled over him, and the bike kept rolling. Needless to say he quit walking it down hills.LOLOL

Man yall are scarring me with these stories. I am usually very careful when I am riding. All I have ever heard is 3 wheelers are "dangerous" :shocked: I do not like to go fast anyway, I just like the trail riding. Everytime I go riding my wife is giving me the 3rd degree about not riding like an idiot (like the way I drive my trans am). So far so good ......:headbang:
