1st ride of the season 8 Months ago  
I got started late in the seanon since I was taking care of my sick father who recently passed away. Anyway I am out on the highway ad see a vehical come on the highway at the entrance ramp up ahead. I said what the hell is that. It was low to the ground and when I say low I mean low half the higth of a sport car it had two wheels in the front and one in the back. I decided to speed up to see what it was, but this thng opened up and was gone I could have caught it but it was not worth a ticket. Does anyone have an idea of what it was??
Thanks
Ron

The true worth of a man is how he treats someone when there is nothing to gain.

My sincere sympathies on the loss of your father.

3 wheels with 2 up front .... I agree ... Spyder. They had test drives across the country last year ... maybe this year too.

Sorry for your loss.

I agree about the Spyder. I stopped yesterday at a local "dirt bike" shop, they had 2 new Can-am Spyders out front. They sort of resemble a snowmobile, but on wheels. Kind of neat, but not for me.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

I guess I don't need to mention the Spyder huh?

Sorry for your loss Cruiser. That's a tough one.

Bombardier knows how to make some power. Riding one of those Spyders would probably be a blast. Hang it off in the corners like on a sled.

My condolences Crusier, I lost my dad 4 years and ago and not a day goes by I dont think of him, although as time has passed I can smile when I do vs being sad.
