Had an opportunity today and got on a Can Am Spyder. Interesting to say the least, I thought it was quite comfortable and reminiscent of my old Polaris trailboss I had in the early 90's. Sale price was $14900, nicely appointed with goodies but not the touring model. While there I took a gander at the Polaris Slingshot. I know its controversial, to me it isn't a motorcycle, but I'd still wear safety gear and so would the passenger. Chevy 4 cylinder, 175 hp, and I applaud them for thinking outside the box. Fun and fast, $20k price tag, I would want to live in a sunny clime if I had one. It's reminds me of the cars science fiction told me we would have in the New Millennium when I was a kid reading Ray Bradbury and watching Outer Limits. Yes I know these have safety issues but I am hoping they inspire more.
