I was wondering if anybody on here has owned or ever ridden one of those Can-am Spyders. You know that three wheeled cycle with two front wheels and one rear. The last time I was at Panama City Beach some of the bike rental shops have them but they wanted like $300 to rent one. I wanted to try one out but not that bad.
I was wanting to hear from somebody who has rode one and see what they thought about it. How it handled in the curves and stuff like that.
I like the way they look but do they still fill like you are riding a bike or more like a go cart or dune buggy or something.

I followed someone on a Spyder and they were doing pretty well for themselves

They even were able to do burnouts while moving forwards and through turns.

I never rode one but it seems like the inability to lean while cornering would take a lot of the fun out of motorcycling.

That's my impression.

What's so funny about The Beer Store?

Lol yeah but try doing that on a Spyder, I dare ya!
No flying the chair on one of those things.
I've ridden one. I honestly wouldn't ride one. But I've heard reviews from other riders who took one out (a local shop that rents bikes rents one of them) and they seem to have loved it. I didn't like the steering on it. And I really didn't like not having a brake lever, only a foot lever...

Hard core motorcyclist or hard core alcoholic?
