Can you explain why you think the Slingshot is hurtful in the categories you mentioned. ?????? I'm very curious to understand your reasoning's behind your post.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

European ferry operators don't care much what we call our Spyders, their ticket prices reflect the deck space a vehicle occupies. A Spyder has a deck footprint similar to a small car. Last August my Spyder picked up a surcharge £250 ($400) over that charged on a regular motorcycle ticket from Plymouth (UK) to Santander return. (Spain).
Toll roads in France and Spain have sensors in the roadway which are able tell the difference between a motorcycle and a car. The Spyder triggers a car's width and picks up the higher charge. It used to bother me but I really don't care any more. :sour: (That's my 1st lie of 2015).
My Spyder's UK registration document describes it as a "998cc tricycle". Can't argue with the logic of that, it is what it is.

I took the tube/train/tunnel (not sure what it's called) from London to Paris a long time ago. Does that by chance have room for vehicles? If so, is the charge just as expensive?
When I hear ferry, it seems like it'd take forever to get there.

Common parlance has named it "The Chunnel" (Channel + Tunnel). I think the train does it in about 25 minutes side to side carrying freight (trucks), cars, motorcycles (Spyders). A fast roll-on, roll-off ferry can do the crossing in about 45 mins, port to port, the common ferry service is about 90 minutes. You probably took the Eurostar service to Paris. My lasting impression of my first time in Paris (many years ago) was discovering that I was never further than 200 yds from a statue of a naked female. Depraved? Well maybe, but an excellent boost for male morale during the misery of a rainy Parisian day. Frenchmen simply go by shrugging their shoulders, they've seen it all before. Nonchalant in the extreme. :yikes:

It better.... I have money down on one right now, they had one at the SEMA SHOW
in Las Vegas, The fit and finish is fantastic it has way more room than I would have
ever thought it had and there is plenty of leg and head room even for a very tall person.
for $6800.00 base price you cant go wrong you could buy 3 of them for the price of 1
Spyder, Harley, Honda and such... my guess is they will either bomb or to straight up
in sales and the price will rocket up.... We will see. :dontknow:

This concern has been around for a while. A few years ago, three wheel scooter trucks were the "thing". Acident counted as motorcycle acidents. No idea how many of these are still out there. The original Morgan had problems in some states when new.
AMA and many others have been trying to define a motorcyle for years. States have all kind of criteria for deciding what is a motorcyle.
I wonder about the safety perception of the "things that have only three wheels but do not the safety requirments of a Automoble". Air bags, roll over protection and assorted othe mandated stuff. I believe Motor Trike fought to keep the Stallion as a motorcyle for thes very reasons.
Another thing, the Slingshot is still not legal in how many staates. The story says it does not have ABS, anyboy know for sure ???

Randy,
I almost didn't see your post, not because you're on my ignore list; but, I hadn't viewed everyone's post, and was going to ask the same question. Not anything against the OP that was quoted; but, not everyone thinks the sky is falling. This thing with the Slingshot is going to affect everything from coffee beans to insurance, I just don't get it.
Randy, by the way, if my insurance for my Spyder should increase, I'm holding you personally responsible for owning a Slingshot in NYS, and you will then be placed on my ignore list. Now, see if you get any sleep tonight, worrying about that.

this is interesting. I had dinner last evening with my Spyder dealer who also sells Polaris. they have sold 5 Slingshots without the buyers seeing any one of them?????? one buyer had buyer remorse and backed out of the deal. their very first buyer wants to get rid of his Slingshot as he doesn't like it after one month???????????????
I sat in one in the showroom and found it very difficult to get in and out of???? also, minimal storage space, dealer wasn't sure if a hitch could be mounted on it on not??? if you brought one to my front door and said, here, it's free I would look for an unsuspecting person to take it off of my hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO SPYDER LOVERS!!!!!
