Nah, yeah, maybe.
He's prob sitting leaning against his Hog with a go-pro on his shoulder. Naps may have occurred in between the hundreds of Hogs n trikes passing. Geez, there were quite a few trikes, right? There were a few long nosed custom ones too. Are we headed in that direction? 3 wheelin'
A friend of mine just bought a 2016 Can Am and is Really enjoying it. I'm a bit anxious to give it a go.
A "No Lean" machine. Hmm :roll:

If those spiders had lean-steer capability like a Segway they would be a whole lot more fun and fast. Somebody needs to tell them to redesign those so they bank into the turns.

At first it made me think of a "Yellow Submarine". . .only orange. Then it made me think of a cat. Then it made me think of some kind of "ride on" toy my parents would have gotten me from W.T. Grants a long time ago to bridge the gap between learning how to walk and then ride a tricycle. . .and I haven't been drinking. :lol:

That being said there are a lot of older riders or riders with disabilities who treasure the riding experience but can't do it anymore because of nagging old sport related injuries, diabetes, arthritis, and the like. Those $35K Harley trikes or the $25K Polaris Slingshots or $25K Can Am Spyders give these folks a chance to stay "in the game" a little longer and do it in style. Just my two cents. :D
