Just saw a spot for the Spyder.... just think... that could have been a Barracuda II ad | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
No. It couldn't have. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Nope. Wouldn't have been ready for one thing. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
And HD would NEVER have sprung for the advertising budget. | ||

Did they postpone the super bowl to tonight? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
No, but the National Championships for Basketball were on tonight. Not cheep air time. | ||

they need to trim some weight off that spyder... and abbreivated passenger seating arrangement ala S1 outta look about right. | ||
| Danger_dave |
Nah mate - it needs all it can get to keep the passenger in place. It's a very violent ride on the back of any three wheeled vehicle - needs that wrap around doohickey they make for it - silly as it looks- it's necessary. | ||
| Danger_dave |
Watched it live at 3pm Tuesday afternoon here - we don't get any ads on ESPN - the ad breaks and time outs are all taken up with station promos. Tell me you don't get sick of them! | ||

pfft passenger. spent a good hour up on another sight reading your review and the following thread about the Scrambler. Nice right up.... for a bike that aint supposed to go there  | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
And HD would NEVER have sprung for the advertising budget. No doubt.... but if H-D would have sold Buell to BRP like they should have.... | ||

I have a friend who owns a Spyder. That thing is plenty quick. | ||
| Jstfrfun |
The Spyder IS a hot ride but don't try to take a M/C riders test with one...they don't fit on the test course! | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I WILL have a Spyder. They are fun and my wife will ride one. I'd like to have a bike for each of us that would allow us to take our kids with us. | ||

Ural's do better in the snow. Badwebber Nickcaro talked to me about how Spyder is stubborn and is a pain in the ass to get going in the snow. Plus the Ural holds more people, and is just more awesome  | ||

its a pretty strange beast, I rode it out at Vintage days. The track is wide enough that you feel the crown of the rode. Not a bad ride at all, plenty fast and everything works as expected, but the feel is nothing like a motorcycle. Well except the handlebars, switchgear and shift process | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Plus the Ural holds more people, and is just more awesome Yeah, but I like to go more than 60mph. | ||

>>pfft passenger. << Some of us have had sex this decade. | ||

I'm just doing a write up on the Harley Tri Glide. I took some MS sufferers who used to ride for a spin on it yesterday.  I really like the machine, but there not much point saying that here huh :-) | ||

The Can Am is fun to ride. I test rode one a few months back and once you get used to steering it like a tricycle (takes about 100 yards to get used to it), then it's all good. Oh, and you can flat a$$ stop! Two big tires up front. | ||

Danger Dave, thats great! I have a friend with MS and I can remember not too long ago when he rode on the back of my Sportster, and could work for friends doing construction work. He is in a home now as his usless wife refused to take care of him when he started getting to where he couldn't take care of himself anymore. I'm telling you young men, there are some really CRAPPY GOOD FOR NOTHING WOMEN out there. Oops! Did I say that? Sorry, but I mean it. But Danger Dave, I commend you, you made some people really happy, even if it was on a crappy H-D(spit) | ||

Yes but why buy the cow, when I can sample from any herd that I can find... ? And my time on the bike is my escape, carrying a passenger is like bringing a salad from home to a restuarant buffet | ||
| Crackhead |
TMI Brian, I didn't want to know about you and tossed salad. | ||
| Tom_b |
I actually relate the handling of the spyder to my sons 4 wheeler. Except not as bouncy because of the road tires instead of atv tires. Doesn't really steer like a trike to me anyway. Put a few miles on ours and like 2 wheels a lot better. The wife loves it. | ||
| Danger_dave |
I do like tossing one of these around.  | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Yes but why buy the cow, when I can sample from any herd that I can find... ? yeah, the slowest of the heard maybe, both physically and mentally. | ||
| Tom_b |
One thing i disn't like about dealing with can am when i bought my wife's spyder. any color other than black or the black and silver is considered premium paint and costs extra. sounds like they took a lesson from Henry Ford and the model "T" sales brochure. |
