Default Got an upclose look at a Spyder today.

Got to see one today.

here

One of my coworkers sisters bought one. It looked cool from the back end. The fat back tire looked good but kinda crazy from the front. I guess I kinda did the word vomit when I said "looks kinda neat, I guess if I ever can't pick up my roadking I might consider one" Opps. I'm so silly sometimes.

Looks like it would make a really RAD snowmachine if you put skis on it. :roll:

There's a few on the road around here.

I have a pretty open mind, but I just can't see the point in something you have to wear a motorcycle helmet on and can't lean.One day I may be riding something like a trike, who knows... but what ever it is, it's gotta lean.

There are some great looking trikes out there, and I suppose I could end up ridin one of those myself...but, they still look like motorcycles . The spyder seems neither fish nor fowl to me.IMO.

I think it looks more like some kinda personal watercraft on wheels! I bet the steering would be wierd as well.

If I had a physical disability and could not ride my Harley, this may be my choice. I have seen them on the road. From what I have read, they handle very well and have many positive features. Drawback, I do not like getting stared at.

It' a Platypus.... Kinda mixed bag of nuts..... I saw one and talked to the owner at a jazz fest. in Louisiana and he liked it... He had owned trikes before and said it was a little harder to controll than a standard trike on rough or uneven roads... I think the look pretty cool myself.. They are pretty pricy though from what I understand...
