Re: Can-am
Nothing like keeping it simple huh. Not joe's liquor emporium, THE BEER STORE. Hey what do they sell???
Back to the Can Am's. We had them at our latest AMID show where we get to ride around the track. I took one out and managed 1 lap. There is a skill to riding them that I do not posses. Your knees go opposite to how you ride a bike. In saying that, there were some peeps that could ride them and did very well around the track. They are an impressive machine, well built, strong motors and some very special features.
I think they are a lifestyle bike and if you buy in, then you will have plenty happy miles. If you are a hard core biker, you are going to be bored and frustrated in a very short time. The top 2 corners at the track are 2 tight right handers, watching me trying to drift that back wheel while steering in the wrong direction must have been funny, either that or they covered their eyes waiting for the crunch
Not something to park outside of the BEER store, mind you, plenty boot space

Re: Can-am
Cool good to hear from a pro thanks. Did you ride it before or after going to the beer store? I think if I was going to invest in one I would rent one for a few days first to make sure I liked it. But after what you said I think I would stick with two wheels and get that new Vmax first. But I have to wait for that big check first. I just got a letter saying I could of ready be a millionaire.
Get me a case of Bud light while your there. We can drink it while we wait for them to delever my check. On second thought better make that a few cases.

Re: Can-am
I just noticed my status has been raised from rookie to regular. Good to be moving up in the world. What a week first I get a letter saying I could be a millionaire. Than I get raised to a regular.

Re: Can-am
You know what? I should move up there and open up the Pretzel Store right next to the Beer Store.
I should have mentioned this earlier but I got to try it out and it rides almost like an ATV. In NYC we have a lot of these things running around and many have been tricked out to the point where everyone is always looking at the group of Can-Am riders. I'd prefer the Piaggio MP3 500 though... more sport bike like.

One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

Re: Can-am
I beg to differ. He clearly used "or" instead of "and", therefore he could not have been talking about me.fireguzzi wrote:
