    Happy New Year to you and Carol also.
    I'm planning on SITA this year also. We should get together there.

    As to running for office, nothing would please me more than to get caught in a sex scandal.

    I think this is old news.....I read about an engineer in Kentucky who did this about 6 years ago.....also did it in a 4 wheel version.....There are even some old Threads here on this.....Mike

    In any case I welcome all of the trike conversions out there for a few reasons.
    1) It means more motorcycles and riders on the road which equals more car awareness
    2) BRP will have a larger customer base to draw from as new trike owners realize that their heavy overpriced inadequate trikes are not Spyders!
    3) BRP will have to step up to the plate and compete with better and more innovative products for us.

    its all good and a win win situation!

    I Like the idea of the bigger engine, Although the Can-Am Spyder was designed as a reverse trike and not an after-market add on

    I think the Spyder has more safety features built in and I like the auto transmission which the Goldwing doesn’t have

    They do look nice but also a lot bigger so not sure if all that weight would slow it down anyway

    Thanks for posting pictures anyway

    I'm just curious how that beast even steers. Those huge wheels, *without* power steering?

    Default One of these days

    eventually some company is going to come up with something to compete with the spyder. That is the nature of business. If Honda wants to, they can be very competitive in the market. Good designs do not manifest themselves overnight, and they may be looking for a way to make a better model. Kits like these allow for a little real world data to sneak into the mix, and I am sure that Honda, and BRP are watching.
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    Just sayin'............

    Honda won't jump quickly though. They like to take a "wait and see" approach first...

    Big wide tires in front will be nice. I love to have the G L. Perhaps BRP can make some MOD on belt problems by changing it to shaft drive.
