I wish more people watched this at the time.
Went to this extent, and still couldn’t save them from the ban. My lesson went like this. Get on there and don’t come crying to me if you get hurt you wanted the damn thing. Braaapppp
This is amazing. What a great find
Thank you! It feels good to finally get these videos in a safe place so we can enjoy them. A good historical archive as well.
The message was buy the tri moto and you will get the girls😂
That was cool. Muscle cars, dirt bikes back then still attracted the gals. Now you have to act like a gal to get a gal. lol
But you don't want that gal, because it is slightly possible that your junk will eventually fall off. :)
Right around the time when 60 minutes destroyed the 3-wheeler in the public's perception. But unlike that show, the public did not see this vid before the 3-wheeler got banned.
This industry (off road dirt bikes) has been a big part of my life since 1974 when I was 10 years old, and I never knew this vid existed until 2024.
Was the media choosing what we saw back then?
I've got an 83'.. so cool
wow that's a really long one.
I could have been an "atv safety" child actor, if this was the standard
Hahahaha yes, I remember watching these at the local Honda/Yamaha dealer as a kid in the 80s
LOL
First pull startup.. Nice!
atv but they werent call atc back then? for me atv is 4 wheels
then again i call a atc a trike and a atv a quad :)
Honda owned "ATC" no other company could use that without a lawsuit, ATV became the general industry term.... quad and Trike are what I consider slang terms
@@tricycleguy2657 ahhhhh i didnt know honda licenced it that is why honda trikes are called ATC and not the others.
yeah atv is quad for me and ATC 3 wheeler or trike
@@reggiexp69 ATC just means Honda 3 wheeler. Yamaha is YTM. Just like with dirtbikes, Honda is CR, Yamaha is YZ, Suzuki is RM, etc.
@@refugeinc.159 didnt know that
i tought 3 wheeler is ATC and 4 wheels ia ATV, and yeah i know cr yw rm for 2 stroke and crf rmz yzf for 4 stroke. bvut didnt know yamaha 3 wheels was YFM
So cool
the blue 225dx's are rad man. im gonna pick up a 200k soon
Chain drive 200s can get it done loll
@@EwFatppl i know! i got one
I am not so sure about some of the riding techniques taught in the educational film, (not sure how many people really got good on them by 1985. But I have seen guys fly around a MX track a couple years later. The part about what is on the other side of a hill is some of the most important in off road riding, and we did meet a lot of great people on the trails. Some still friends to this day I am sure. A young gal gonna pick up a older good looking guy in the woods, but talked out of it by her friend, to show they should not ride double. How "Progressive"? "Dad, she tried to pick up this older fisherman, and I told her, "You can't ride double on a ATV!"". Is that all he told her!!??
How about,---"You should not be a slut!"? lol I think I just changed my mind about this, "educational film".
5:37 "Helmet still fits snugly, even with your Hair Cut."
Do we understand what was said there? It was along the line of the industry changing Honda ad, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda", that ended the idea of motorcycle riders in the USA being a bunch of criminal gangs and hoods, (which was propagated by hollywood and widely accepted in the public eye, until that Honda ad broke the ice with that now famous ad about a decade earlier.). I would say we see some good values/responsibility propagated in this safety ad. But it did not work. The 3-wheeler got banned anyway in short time. Baby sitter rules ya know. :(
This didn't work why did they banned them again
So the training wasn't all balls and no brakes. 😂😂
As cheesy and corny as this is... nobody was this thorough.... it was more like heres your pacifier kid
It's painfully obvious how much heat the 3 wheeler industry was facing. This was Yamaha's chance to say "..see our videos, look at how proactive we are with safety." Apparently it did work. The other video I posted regarding the 'Consent Decree' showed a steady decline in ATV-related deaths/injuries between 1982-1987. Unfortunately it was just too late to turn the ship around by that point.
@MacWorthVintageATVs it could also be possible natural selection was tipping the scale
@@tricycleguy2657lots of these guys that had these machines back in the day were skinny usualy and lighter usualy a 13-18 yr would ride a 185s-200s.,x,s,m or ytm200-225…. You already know those machines are 250-300+lb machines at 15yrs i had a 185s and i weighed 200+lbs and i think the more u weigh the better u can survive on em 😂 man i still miss my old 185s sometimes had a goki electric start to
Hey kid what kind of job took a whole year to save up for a 200?? I mowed lawns for 3 months paid 799 cash new 82 TRI MOTO 125 . Next time work harder lol
You realize the 200 chain costed more than the yt125??? Brand new also the 200 is faster way faster than 125s but not 175
@trimotomann653 200 was not faster than a 2 stroke 125 and the 175 was faster but not by much.
