    Why not just call them "FUN", and let go of this thread?

    It is the same here in Iowa. I will say though, that the insurance is pretty pricey, even though I have a clean driving record.

    Default State of California for insurance purpose

    Okay, I am having issues regarding is it a motorcycle or an automobile? I am using USAA, but the reality is they cannot determine if it is a motorcycle.

    In California, you do not need a motorcycle license; however, you need a motorcycle helmet for the Can Am Spyder. This is like the Slingshot...need helmet no motorcycle helmet.

    If somebody could provide me some type of information through DMV, State Law, or something that would be greatly appreciated.

    A new loan representative maybe? Since when did cars have handlebars. Slingshot is up for grabs in the argument--but I cannot see how they are trying to classify as a car??? Has anyone shown them a picture of the ?

    The problem that you're actually having, is with some nit-wit who lacks common sense!

    Does that means that it's okay to pee on the seat?

    Mine is insured as a car. Cheaper than alternative.
    Indiana says no MC endorsement needed. But if you do not have MC endorsement you have to get a Spyder endorsement.
    Duh duh da!

    I love R&R put another dime in the jukebox baby!

    I consider it a motorcycle, as does the state of Florida.
