    Sounds like how we rode Honda 185s and 200s three wheelers. The drum brakes never lasted very long. We just down shifted to slow down.

    1982 185S...my first ATV...beat the crap outta that thing! I think dad still has it laying around somewhere!
    Never had too many brake issues with it though.
    After I bought a 350X, then dad got a 1984 200S also...I think that one might actually still be alive!

    Figure it out yet?


    I just blew a steel line on my truck 2 weeks ago..
    Had to exit the interstate at 50ish mph which included blowing a red light.

    Heck of a trip into work!
