I just thought I would say hi and let you all know I am still alive. I took my trikes down to the farm on thanksgiving. I let my 12 year old nice ride the tri zinger. I was on my tri-z and just passed her and motioned to her that i was going to turn and she should follow me. I slowed down and turned down a dirt oil lease road. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something flying through the air. I turned around and looked and saw the 3 wheeler she was riding hanging from a piece of barb wire that is attached to a metal post where we just made the turn. I go running over to the 3 wheeler and my niece is laying in the ditch moaning. She ran the 3 wheeler through 3 strands of barb wire and the tire caught the edge of the cattle guard as she was going off the road and flipped the 3 wheeler. her legs where cut up and she was sore but no broken bones. I asked her what the hell happened and she said she just couldn't make the turn. (WTF) I couldn't understand it we where not going fast she has ridden the 3 wheeler numerous times and she is a safe driver. Oh well . damage to the trike. A broken choke cable, Bent handle bars and bent axle. Such is life. Well just thought I would say hi and share my story lol. Hope all is going well with everyone. Glenn O

d**n man, that sucks about the wreck. Hope you get everything straightened out. I did some checking on a pipe for my Zinger, turns out DG doesn't make one for it anymore, so I'm stuck with the stocker. I've gotta buy some new tires for it and get the petc0ck replaced here pretty soon as I'm giving it to my nephew for Christmas.

That is just terrible I hope she heals fast. Did she get any stiches? My sister ran a 4 wheeler (unsafe things any way) through barb wire fence. She ended up with little over 100 stiches.

She just had some serious cuts across her legs but they where not deep enough for stiches. She was also very sore for a few days. Are you sure they dont make the dg tri-zinger pipe anymore. Did you call the dg factory?.I was sure they still made them. Glenn O.

They advertise them on their site, but I checked with the local bike shop that supposedly called DG and was told they're discontinued. They told me to call dirt overstock as they bought all the remaining pipes. I just got an answering machine and going on 3 weeks with no call back. I may just call DG myself to make sure since they're still advertising. It's not that big of a deal, but I would like to put a new pipe on it.

I called dennis kirk and they said they where disontinued. I called dg and they said they where on back order but they made one and it showed up in 2 1/2 weeks latter. I know you say no big deal but that pipe makes a HUGE difference. Well worth the money. I would call them if I where you. Glenn O
