Dude, that thing would make Lott die from excitement. I mean he does ride a 50cc scooter, it's not like a 90 or anything...

Seriously though, i've ridden in the past but i've got bad *** arthritis in both knees and this is the only way I would be able to ride anymore.
If that wasn't for my ****ed up knees and a big wad of cash then I would love me some Ducati.

those things look a bit goofy, but with ~100hp, i'm guessing they are pretty quick

i'm not sure how i would feel in a corner with 3 wheels though. i can only imagine what that thing does when it starts to lose grip

actually...a buddy of mine's sister has one and she rides with us on trips. Thing is wicked fast and really stable. She's not groaning and stretching like the rest of us when we stop.

They look like a nice ride for a select group...I see a girl riding one in Lawton... Can Am, and their parent company, makes some nice products...

My car is wicked fast and really stable, and I'm not groaning and stretching when I come to a stop.

But my car isn't a motorcycle and neither is that silly motorized Radio Flyer.

I think it's cool and good to have around for Folks who might have Vertigo or balance issues or handicaps that wouldn't allow them to get out on the open road.

Truely....I like Harleys but if you couldn't ride one again.....it'd be cool to have one that made it safe enough to ride with your friends. At least you'd be on control of it instead of the old Side-car option. Sidecars are gheyer and really freaking dangerous IMO

Dude, sidecars are NOT gay. This thing IS gay. The only thing gayer than this thing (besides Jed's Vethpa) is those Voyager thingies that look like training wheels for a Harley.

The Spyders are very stable, the two front wheels makle it that way. The 990cc Rotax is a heck of a motor that has powered motorcycles like Aprilia's and KTM's.

I have known a few people who have had them and they really like them. Some used to ride motorcycles and due to various conditions have difficulty handling the dynamics of a motorcycle but still wish to ride and enjoy riding with friends, the Spyder allows them to do that.

It's a 150cc beyotch and you'll be sad that I got the muffler fixed (sorta) so it no longer sounds like a Harley on helium. Plus, if I ran over your foot (dumass), it wouldn't hurt so dayum much.

BTK - no worries, my package always finds its way to the correct parking spot.

ST, not only is it fun to ride, but scooting to the tailgate means there's a home game and we're gonna win. By the time I make my "entrance" I literally am dying from excitement.

As far as this Can-Am thing, I can't help but look at it and think it is a cross between a walrus and a sting-ray. The actors in their commercials remind me of the "beautiful white people" in the Casino adverts. Not sure I've ever seen one of those at a Casino...myself included.

Remember that cigarette commercial where the "cool dude" in sunglasses lights up a smoke at a stoplight and his hot-chick in the sidecar asks for one? The light turns green and he drives off with her still sitting there, sans butt.

That was allsome. Especially when you're 6 years old.

I've driven a 150 mph go-cart with racing slicks on it but nothing like that....lol

That's to fast....
I really want a Formula B or D-Sports Racer which use the liter sized motorcycle engines, but to put it on a kart chassis is a bit out there.

I think the idea for that kind of went.....
