Funny thing, every time I ask for the checkbook Tammy says she can't find it. I think she's on to me.

They take a CC too. ;D Hey I think she would look 10 years younger on one of those. :doorag: :bigthumbsup: She would look like she was like 20 :bigthumbsup:Quote:

Should be fun.
They also have the new Concours, but no demos.
That's cool. Be sure to let us know what you think. See if you can find out how many they are going to ship on the first run. I've heard 600 but I hope it's more than that. ::)Quote:

I did my best to try to get out of control on the thing and could not.
Blasted into some gravel and stomped on the brake (there is only a foot brake) and came to a smooth, controlled stop.
There is definitely a learning curve to become comfortable and familiar with the Spyder, but I think after a short time it would be second nature.
The front end is definitely twitchy, especially at lower speeds.
Cornering is fun. You have to work this thing in the corners but that is part of the fun.
This thing takes up a big piece of real estate on the road. You will not get 2 in a parking space.
I am not a big fan of traditional trikes but I can definitely see me on one of these things when two wheels become a issue. :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:
Cool, thanks for the report Bro. There's not a whole lot to talk about till we get some in our hot little hands. :bigthumbsup:
