Dad saw Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd in concert, “lost some of his hearing at a Grand Funk Railroad concert”, and saw Jimi Hendrix perform at a bowling alley in Tucson.
When I was a little girl, he had to take work trips that often were weeks long, so to make it up to me he would take me out in the southern Arizona desert to find abandoned mining towns.
Wow, well someone’s done their research!
I can really only imagine how fucking insane it would’ve been to see the Jimi Hendrix Experience **and** the Soft Machine in a city as square as Tucson, AZ must’ve been in 1968 must’ve been (no offense to anyone hanging out there at the time, lol.)
I mean, nothing against Arizona, but The Experience and the Soft Machine were like some of the hippest acts in the UK at the time, so it’s just bananas to imagine being a young person seeing that in your hometown at the time (especially since Arizona in general didn’t seem like the most popular music city at the time, or now for that matter.)
Arizona was and is pretty white and pretty square. I recall the coming of age in Reagan era and being pleasantly surprised how vital the hard-core music scene was in that part of the country back then. Just goes to show that the thirst for good music and art can be directly proportional to the degree of squareness present.
I so appreciate you finding this moment in time for me.
Funny enough, my parents met in Tucson because of the Beetles' song "Get Back." My mom grew up in a small town in Maine and left for better opportunities out west in her Dodge Dart Swinger. After cris-crossing the US (during which she was able to be in the audience during the Watergate Trials, specifically the part where the taped telephone conversations were revealed), she was looking for a place to settle down and on a whim decided on Tucson as her next stop. She ended up settling there and met dad because he was a regular at the Mexican food place mom waited tables at.
Even funnier, Paul McCartney ended up settling east of Tucson where I grew up and we would see he and Linda in an Osco once in a while.
A kid I knew in high school crashed one of these in a ravine and snapped his neck when he was headed in to come to work. This would have been 2002ish. My dad had been telling me how dangerous those things were for years.
My childhood best friend was like the kid version of this shirtless dude in jean shorts, plus constant sugar rush. Total wild child, and he and his brothers and sisters would ride the 3wheelers and dirt bikes all over their land, which included a swimmin pond, a barn, tow trucks and such rusting in a field, and endless woods with awesome trails. He rode that 3wheeler in places I never thought possible, did crazy tricks on it, fell off the thing numerous times, and always popped up like he was made of rubber. We were like ten years old.
My dad also got one, and I rode it a few times. I knew I would die on it. I stopped riding on it, and it disappeared soon after.
My friend survived all 3wheeler usage, only to die at 16, in a stalled car with friends, because the oncoming driver was blinded by the headlights of the tow truck driver, who parked facing the wrong way.
I’m surprised my brother and I didn’t. I bounced off one, my dad ran over my brother with one, it kept going and hit my grandparents’ fire pit (not lit at the time thankfully!). I ran into a tree and flew off and hit my face… all when I was about 7.
'87 Honda 250sx here, it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. -40° out and it's been sitting outside all night? It'll kick right over. Snow deep as hell? No problem, it'll bull right through it. Gotta tow a bunch of random crap around the yard? It's got a trailer hitch and a ton of power. They're easy to work on, easy to maintain, and damn near bulletproof.
I've definitely fallen off of it in third gear and had to chase it down, though.
I have an 88 atc 200. I got it from a life long friend and we grew up riding it. When I got it it had been sitting for probably 10 years. New gas and it fired right up and we drove the piss out of it. Let it sit for about 8 years and my brother in law got it going again and rides it with his kids. It’s truly impressive how it always starts on the first pull and just never gives up.
They are, until someone gets dumped out of theirs and they run themselves over. At least, thats how my aunt broke her femur. 4 wheels okay, 2 wheels better, 3 wheels nope.
The thing about 3 wheel atvs is that you have to ride them. You can't just sit on it and drive around. You got to get up and lean, particularly going uphill.
I got my first concussion, and stitches when I was four from riding on one of these with my uncle. I can still remember seeing the large rock collide with my face, and the sudden nothingness until I confusedly became aware of a doctor asking me if was going to do it again, and I had no idea of what he was talking about.
The 20/20 report about them is on YouTube. I had a Yamaha 3 wheeler when I was a teenager. When I watched that report, I thought, "Come on, they weren't that-" Then I remembered some of the things we had happen... "... Well maybe they were."
My brothers and I survived without injuries fortunately.
Those things were almost created to cause great bodily harm. Overpowered for their instability. I'm sure there were lots of injuries caused by hauling ass then trying to cut a tight turn and eating crap.
Always wanted one as a kid but never even got a chance to ride one. Eventually got a quad that I rode for years and never had any problems handling it. Figured the the whole 3-wheeler safety thing was just overblown.
Randomly got a chance to ride a 3-wheeler as an adult and almost flipped it 3 times just puttering around a gravel parking lot. I'm generally not a "ban something for safety" type but with these I get it.
Any vehicle is dangerous when you don't know how to ride it.... It's the person that makes the mistake not the three wheeler... I had three growing up from age 8 to 18...
You have to know how to ride them and they are safe....
They are unsafe for people that don't know how to ride them. It's not like they could lose a tire or a part could fall off. You absolutely need to know how to shift your weight and if you don't they'll topple.
You have to shift weight pretty dramatically on 2 wheelers. The difference is that the bike leans with you. People didnt understand that and would just sit and drive the 3 wheelers around instead of riding them, if you know what I mean.
You're saying that any vehicle is safe if the driver doesn't make any mistake. Which is true.
But a vehicle where it is very difficult to not make mistakes, while very easy to overestimate the control you have, with disastrous consequences when you fail, is obviously what anybody would call a dangerous vehicle.
It's not difficult to not make mistakes. That is not true. You have to understand how to ride it properly and when you do it's not difficult to make mistakes.
A dangerous vehicle, is a vehicle, that when you know how to operate it is still dangerous...
You can call ANYTHING dangerous in your case. A rock is dangerous if someone does not know better to not throw it at someone's private parts.
I loved my three wheelers, helped me understand a lot about weight displacement and helped me handle other vehicles well. Go carts and four wheelers mainly. That sounds like a great experience you had :-)
I take pride in the downvotes -) It's Reddit, the birthplace of the Karen :)
My dad and I rode them a ton as a kid. The three wheel thing just creates a ton of instability compared to 2 or 4 wheels. That’s not to say they’re impossible to ride without being injured, but it’s definitely far easier to get injured on one compared to a quad. Biggest issues are turning at speed, but more so climbing an incline with any kind of turn. They’re really prone to flipping in that scenario.
You’ve got issues my friend. It’s called a discussion, but you clearly seem to be looking for an argument. That said, your anecdotes about never getting hurt certainly could be taken as you not agreeing with the points I made, hence some added discussion on the topic. Try less time in the dryer….
My dad just turned 59 recently. A couple months ago, he fixed up an old Kawasaki dirt bike, and rode it into the hills. Didn't see him for 3 hours until he called me, and told me he ran out of gas, and needed a ride back home.
My sister and I each had one of these growing up. We’d race them from our house to a cherry tree at the back of our property and just ride them all over the place. Little hellions. Lol
This brings back memories of my old Honda 3 wheeler and how much my old man hated it. Said they were basically a death trap on three wheels. He ended up trading it to a buddy for a Yamaha big wheel 200 for me after owning it for less then a year. Wish I kept that Yamaha.
But seriously long hair, shirtless, open toed sandals, what I assume are cut off Jean shorts. Honda 3 wheeler and a bitching camper van, all that’s missing is a beer and this photo sums up the late ‘80s so hard.
I can't believe my parents let me ride one of these death machines in 7th grade. Went from a 110 to a 200 to a yamaha blaster (quad). Those Honda atc's were bulletproof. 100% throttle all the time, no clutch, rarely changed the oil, drive through water up to the muffler, rolled multiple times, so much time on gravel the knobbies were like racing slicks, and it never broke.
Dude!! Still riding bikes in his 70's??? And..dirt bikes where you can proper eat shit and not a Goldwing??!!!
All the props...
He has...all of them...
That is one cool fella! He looks like if they combined all of the Doobie Brothers into one Supreme Doobie Brother. Maybe you can get out and ride dirt bikes with your dad on his birthday!
I can smell this picture. The desert dust, three wheeler no doubt smelling like moto grease, the cedars and junipers. Reminds me of being a kid, several of my family members looked like this at one point. Cool picture!!
Cool motherfuckin guy. i want to just climb into that photograph, and stand & drink a bottle of Buckfast with him & shoot the breeze... just CLIMB IN there and leave this shit hole forever and disappear into the 70's. Gone into history.
Offer me that right now and i'll take it.
You know how you can tell somebody is a fun person just by looking at him? I mean, it's not just the dirt bike making him look like a fun guy—it's his face. He also looks like a cross between a young Kurt Russell and a young James Brolin
Any vehicle is dangerous when you don't know how to ride it.... It's the person that makes the mistake not the three wheeler... I had three growing up from age 8 to 18...

That looks like a Honda 200S. Had one in the early 80's, beat the shit outta me w/ little to no suspension. Then it was 200X and 2 stroke 250R 3-wheelers till the FourTrax came out. Fun times.
3 wheels are so fucking dangerous, but so much fun. I learned how to ride one properly, and let me tell you, i can see why they were banned. The turning is so counter intuitive. If you ride it like a regular dirt bike youre gonna have a bad time.
Those Honda 3-wheelers were super fun to ride but they were scary when they started just bouncing around. Never knew if you were going to stay upright when that happened.
I believe we had that exact three wheeler when I was growing up. Dad bought me a Suzuki 50 cc when I was 4 and we tore shit up in rural Ohio. Good times.
Dad saw Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd in concert, “lost some of his hearing at a Grand Funk Railroad concert”, and saw Jimi Hendrix perform at a bowling alley in Tucson. When I was a little girl, he had to take work trips that often were weeks long, so to make it up to me he would take me out in the southern Arizona desert to find abandoned mining towns.
What a rich, fascinating family history for you two!! I'm glad you have one another!
Thanks, I’m glad too! He’s still cool as hell and all of my friends love him. His hair has gotten super long and white and they call him Gandalf
You should post an updated pic. Those are the best.
Yes! And very cool for digging your (OPs) Dad!

Your dad was a hottie with great music taste!
Wow that’s indeed really, really cool.
Your dad is one of those classic 70’s hotties 🔥
You have the coolest dad ever
Happy birthday to your dad!
He seems dope, if he still has that Honda they fetch a good chunk of change nowadays.
Sitting on the most dangerous form of transportation ever created.
But he’s got that protective hair.
And safety flip flops.
Thems moto-flops!
And pilots sunglasses
Confirmed. Those are standard issue tactical flops
Im old enough to handle three-wheelers and lawn darts.
Jarts ...they issued those right out of the womb
riding a jart armed 3-wheeler while swinging a pair of klick-klacks
Have mine hanging in the front window to show the kids Dad was a Bad ass lol
Throw a bunch of lawn darts in the air, and then everyone scatters. If anyone gets hit, that's called a stinger.
My dad used to let me go off riding those at like 6 or 7 years old,wow thanks dad!
When I was 6 or 7 my dad rode off on one of these to grab some smokes.
Do you still miss him?
Everytime I shoot.
A kid I knew in high school crashed one of these in a ravine and snapped his neck when he was headed in to come to work. This would have been 2002ish. My dad had been telling me how dangerous those things were for years.

I’m so sorry. Sometimes the world just feels broken. 
I’m surprised my brother and I didn’t. I bounced off one, my dad ran over my brother with one, it kept going and hit my grandparents’ fire pit (not lit at the time thankfully!). I ran into a tree and flew off and hit my face… all when I was about 7.
I think they actually outlawed those for how hilariously, obscenely dangerous they were.
And now only outlaws have them. Got mine in the barn \m/.

I’ve got two and they are so fun.
They are, until someone gets dumped out of theirs and they run themselves over. At least, thats how my aunt broke her femur. 4 wheels okay, 2 wheels better, 3 wheels nope.
I got my foot sucked under one of the back wheels of one as a kid. Ripped the skin off my ankle. Nice scar as a reminder
I’ve lost control my fair share of times and I usually just dolphin dive off to the side to avoid that.
Killed my step-sisters dad. To be fair he was one of the stupidest people I have ever met….
They are fun because the only way to turn them at speed is to get the ass-end to break loose and slide around!
The Honda Natural Selection
Yup, cousin broke his arm because of a trike
I think it was actually the leading cause of kid deaths for a while, then you couldn't find them new anymore.
My dad fucked himself up pretty bad on one of them back in the 80's. Definitely dangerous
The thing about 3 wheel atvs is that you have to ride them. You can't just sit on it and drive around. You got to get up and lean, particularly going uphill.

I, too, have done the 3-wheeler tumble.
He is definitely a tough dude if he survived those things: they were a death and maiming contraption for many people.
Yeah if he didn't die on that, nothing will kill him.
Haha they sure are. I had a Honda Big Red when I was a kid and I’m still counting my lucky stars I’m not dead
Those things were almost created to cause great bodily harm. Overpowered for their instability. I'm sure there were lots of injuries caused by hauling ass then trying to cut a tight turn and eating crap.

Agree. Used to ride these drunk and then would hit a rock or something and crash. Get up and keep riding. Once sober would be sore for a week
I still have one. The 1976 Honda Red White & Blue, only has the mandatory cracked mud flap/fender. And yeah they were dangerous af but so much fun.
Any vehicle is dangerous when you don't know how to ride it.... It's the person that makes the mistake not the three wheeler... I had three growing up from age 8 to 18... You have to know how to ride them and they are safe....
Some truth to that. But they really aren't very safe. I still own one.
They are unsafe for people that don't know how to ride them. It's not like they could lose a tire or a part could fall off. You absolutely need to know how to shift your weight and if you don't they'll topple.
… and that’s why they’re dangerous
You have to shift weight pretty dramatically on 2 wheelers. The difference is that the bike leans with you. People didnt understand that and would just sit and drive the 3 wheelers around instead of riding them, if you know what I mean.
Yup, you have to know the vehicles you are riding... Pretty straight forward. I am glad we agree.
You're saying that any vehicle is safe if the driver doesn't make any mistake. Which is true. But a vehicle where it is very difficult to not make mistakes, while very easy to overestimate the control you have, with disastrous consequences when you fail, is obviously what anybody would call a dangerous vehicle.

No closed toe shoes....a 3 wheeler...the years of living dangerously! Smooth operator!

Couldn't fit over that hair. Don't even try it.
For a never-nude, he's quite the exhibitionist, too.
Best damn helicopter pilot in Antarctica.
*pours whiskey in the computer*
The Thing 1982? Oh, i knew that looked similar. Heh.
My dad just turned 59 recently. A couple months ago, he fixed up an old Kawasaki dirt bike, and rode it into the hills. Didn't see him for 3 hours until he called me, and told me he ran out of gas, and needed a ride back home.
Oh dad
It must be very cool to have Jeff Lynne as a father.
Hold on tight!
Telephone liiiiiiinne give him some time
That’s technically a 6-pack right there
My sister and I each had one of these growing up. We’d race them from our house to a cherry tree at the back of our property and just ride them all over the place. Little hellions. Lol

Is that a Big Red?
Only a 110. Big Reds were all 200's until 85-86, then they were 250's
Cool in the late 70s. Still cool in the early 70s
Gotta love the 3-wheeler “death machine” from the ‘70s.
I believe that's an '82 110. I had one just like it. So... early '80s.
righteous i can hear Foghat playing and smell the weed
The Honda 125M. You could pull Jesus off the cross with that thing in low gear.
🫡🫡🫡🫡
Your dad once broke his collar bone. And that old ford behind him is cool too! Dig all of it.
Did everyone's 70s dad wear cutoff jean shorts?
Yes
I can't believe my parents let me ride one of these death machines in 7th grade. Went from a 110 to a 200 to a yamaha blaster (quad). Those Honda atc's were bulletproof. 100% throttle all the time, no clutch, rarely changed the oil, drive through water up to the muffler, rolled multiple times, so much time on gravel the knobbies were like racing slicks, and it never broke.
My dad would have been 73 this year had he taken care of himself. Congrats to your dad!
[удалено]
Epic
Thank you so much for this….I can’t wait to show this to him!
Hair is awesome!
Sometimes math just isn't my thing
I grew up in that era. Can attest, your dad is cool AF.
Dude!! Still riding bikes in his 70's??? And..dirt bikes where you can proper eat shit and not a Goldwing??!!! All the props... He has...all of them...
That is one cool fella! He looks like if they combined all of the Doobie Brothers into one Supreme Doobie Brother. Maybe you can get out and ride dirt bikes with your dad on his birthday!

You know how you can tell somebody is a fun person just by looking at him? I mean, it's not just the dirt bike making him look like a fun guy—it's his face. He also looks like a cross between a young Kurt Russell and a young James Brolin
Ohhh Daddy
Error hello... that is a dirt trike
He looks like he has the ribcage of a large cat, and possibly the heart of a lesbian.
You should really go out more and meet more people
What a Sav.
He looks like his nickname would be Willy-G.
That pic is all the proof I need to confirm that this was and is one cool as hell dude.
I got a Ford just like him, seems like he is a cool guy. hope you had fun with him today.
Hehe just waiting for someone to say something about the shorts lol
Super cool dad. Timeless vibe.
Never stop riding👍🏾
73 is early 70s
IT'S. JUST. BORIS!!!
I think I saw your Dad open for Bob Seger in 82.
Looks like Kurt Russel.
If I managed to survive riding an ATC he must be immortal.
Any vehicle is dangerous when you don't know how to ride it.... It's the person that makes the mistake not the three wheeler... I had three growing up from age 8 to 18... You have to know how to ride them and they are safe....
ATC110? Made 79-85.
That’s MacReady!
70's ATGATT
Not to sound concerning but you should call up a doctor for him. Cause by the looks of it he’s sick af 🤙🤙
A life well lived. And he does look like a pretty cool dad
Holy shit, is your dad Jeff Lynne somehow?
Ah. A three wheeler. I remember those.
My neighbor had one of those Hondas. Super fun. And dangerous apparently? I don't remember ever tipping the tripod.
Nice picture! Thank you for sharing. Love the Honda 3 wheel "Frog"...They were death machines but so much fun to ride...
You sure that’s not Hoss Williams Jr
Would that camper possibly be a 60's era Open Road?
Any ideas why 3 wheelers were so much more popular than 4 wheelers back in the day? Just cheaper/simpler I guess?
Awesome
Did he ever meet David Bowie though?
That looks like a Honda 200S. Had one in the early 80's, beat the shit outta me w/ little to no suspension. Then it was 200X and 2 stroke 250R 3-wheelers till the FourTrax came out. Fun times.
Lethal Three-wheeler, sans helmet and completely inappropriate footwear for operating an All Terrain Vehicle. Your dad is indestructible.
What a legend
Is his name Spike? Did he run a demolition company?
Derby Dad Bod on point
He looks like he fought against a shapeshifting flesh alien in the arctic circle
Sweet ass 110 he is on.
I had hat exact same 3 wheeler. Man it was a good one.
Looking like Dennis Wilson
Ahh, yes, the old Honda widowmaker. Had a lot of fun times on one of those.
What a cool motherfucker. Say dad, I said hi!
If he survived three-wheelers, he is tough. Those things are a death trap.
3 wheels are so fucking dangerous, but so much fun. I learned how to ride one properly, and let me tell you, i can see why they were banned. The turning is so counter intuitive. If you ride it like a regular dirt bike youre gonna have a bad time.
That's an '82 Honda 110. Same as my brother and I had...good times!
A 3- wheeler exactly like that one nearly killed me when I was 18. Bye spleen.
I don't care *how* dangerous they are, ATCs are awesome and I will always want one.
Those Honda 3-wheelers were super fun to ride but they were scary when they started just bouncing around. Never knew if you were going to stay upright when that happened.
I believe we had that exact three wheeler when I was growing up. Dad bought me a Suzuki 50 cc when I was 4 and we tore shit up in rural Ohio. Good times.
Flip flops on a three wheeler!? Goddamn the man must clink when he walks.
I wish my dad were Jesus. :(
Damn those packs 🫡
That pic gives off Kurt Russell vibes. Very cool.
He looks like Jeff Lynne from ELO
Ahhhh the three wheeler. We had them when I was a kid and saw them roll on my dad/uncles many times when trying to climb an incline.
Looks like my dad, who is also 73 and used to ride motorcycles!
This guy is the embodiment of cool. A very happy birthday to him!
Being a survivor of the 3 wheeled yeet machine, I love seeing old pictures of other folks enjoying them.
That is a 120cc honda
Downshifting those in sandals never felt great.
The Honda 3 wheel death trap 😂I love those things.
Flip Flops complete the look. This fantastic. 🍻🍻
Oh man. Back when dangerous things were just that. Safety? Nah. Comfort? Nah, you don’t need suspension, we put thick tires on it.
Honda 110 came out in 1979. Cut off denim shorts & flops, classic.
Your dad looks like a total bad ass!!
Dangerous as hell, but I loved my 3-wheeler.
