At a certain point, wouldn't a guy be better off just buying a convertible and at least make an effort to maintain what little dignity and self-respect he may have left?

Why not? I've owned plenty of dirt bikes, had Honda 3 wheelers and loved them, later got into quads. I see nothing wrong or childish about trikes and Can Am's. No matter what some "purists" may think, riding is riding. If these types of rides allow others to enjoy what I enjoy, if they extend saddle time to those who otherwise would not ride, what gives people the idea that these have no place? It's like some d-bag 1 percenter thinking they have a right to tell others what they can or cannot do. If I could, I'd buy a Spyder today.

That was simply my attempt at a little light-hearted ribbing, having a little fun with the subject... I guess it backfired even though I added the emoticon. I stand corrected and will be more careful in the future. I apologize if I offended anyone. I can assure you that I'm as far from a "d-bag 1 percenter" as you're ever likely to meet.
