It's their opinion. Can anyone fill in the blanks and finish this quote? Opinions are like a**holes. Everybody has one and most of them stink.

:agree: If I wasted time worrying about what other people thought of my bike; I'd be kept too busy to ride it! :yikes:

Seemed like a fair article from a motorcyclist's perspective. Journalists need to get over the fact that a Spyder is not two wheeled motorcycle just like a quad or four-wheeler is not a dirt bike. However, the fun factor is the same either way.

I've been approached by "bikers" saying that they "don't get" the advantage to the Spyder. First of all, there is no advantage, it's just a different type of riding. But, the article is correct in pointing out that on both machines "you’re riding free in the breeze." And, isn't that really the most important thing anyway?

Of course, I must admit I do enjoy the embarrassed looks on their faces when they are walking away and notice my disabled license plate. (Removes foot from mouth) You see, the third wheel is not an advantage . . . but a necessity for me. And I know that I'm not alone in that.

"Even though steering is done with handlebars, it requires some shoulder and arm strength."

What about the strength it takes to set a 2-wheeler upright?

I noticed the failure to mention of how much spyder enables handicap rydersView attachment 117444 like myself ,but is happy to mention 25% of the 25% of buyers are women sounding like a girly bike. Or appealing to a demographic of readers that care. Im a former two wheeler & spyder has been better in every way for me & enables me to still enjoy biking ,while helping family feel safer about me enjoying it. I did like term "Batmobike". Better than "auto cycle"slingshot is.
