Street Legal Raptor 700R SE

You're really gonna rack up on seat belt tickets. My dad and I tried this route back in the '90's. The DMV told us everything you stated....horn, turn signals, speedo, etc. and A SEATBELT.

In the state of NC; if it has 4 wheels you must have a seatbelt. You may have a title and insurance but it's not legal.

That's cool man. But I will tell you from decades of experience of riding on the streets on Nam be careful. They do not give a rats ass about people on the roads here. Let me know if the lady with the full dresser bike is still giving the classes on post. She could ride like I have never seen a female ride before.

82nd side or main post side of MP land ?

Don't know what to say Its plated and iv had plenty of cops talk to me about it at gas stations but iv have yet to be pulled over riding it. And there isn't any NCGS Code about needing a seatbelt that my LEC is tracking.
 
that thing is sweet,growing up my neighbor had a big red threewheeler that was tagged, I always thought that would be neat for beer runs!!
 
I tried a 3 wheeler once. After running into a barb wire fence as i could not lean it like a dirtbike that was enough for me. This was back in the late 70's.
 
yeah i had a honda 110 with a 185 motor on it ( i know badass right!! ) thats the only thing i ever thought done better without me on it as i clipped a ditch and got tossed an then watched as it went pbly another 300yrds into the creek

scared to death!!!!!
 
After I became an expert trike rider ( 20 mins. of seat time ) and aged a few years after my first fiasco. I jumped on another friends built Kawasaki trike as a small crowd of us 4wheeled and rode trikes and bikes in and around a large, halfdrained pond near Holly Springs. I was showing my " expertise " and went to powerslide a seemingly safe distance from them and sling some mud onto the crowd of fellow beer drinkers. I approched them about 25mph, turned and gave her the gas, I roostertailed it for a second or 2 and then the slideside tire stuck or hit a muddy rut and as the trike flipped it tossed me 10'+ feet in the air and about 25' horizontally and I landed w a splat in the soft pondbottom 15' from the bystanders, who proceeded to laugh their asses off and otherwise ridicule my " expert " riding ability and that I never got turned enough ( failed ) to shower them...........good times :beer:

Worked at a bike shop for a few years in VA and we saw our fair share of bikes and atv's like this. Very cool! Only bad thing I found about them was the maintenance. Those motors aren't meant for high mph/rev cruising so they constantly needed valve adjustments and oil changes. Best way I saw to keep from burning up the top end or doing oil changes every week was by adding a high capacity oil cooler and doubling the oil quantity. Valves were still adjusted every 400-500 miles though. But after a few times, you can do it with your eyes closed. I was and still am wanting to tag and title a YZ/WR426 and can do the out of state title loop hole as well. MS resident here. Glad to see people still getting away with tagging off road vehicles!
