It was parked at the end of the driveway for Caswell Cycle for just that purpose.
I was immediately sucked in. I had to do the double take, back up and pull into the drive to get some photos.

Some great motorcycle sayings.
Some we already know, some, maybe not.
Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 70 mph.
You start the game of life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck.
If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.

There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.

I've seen both of those on the roads around here. I have to say...the first time you see one, you definitely do a double take. They're a nice option for someone who might want to get into motorcycling but is still a little spooked about only being on two wheels. Cool little vehicles.
Dean,
I think even if you love riding motorcycles, this would be fun to ride. Especially the Spyder. It rides like a cross between a really low go cart, and a crotch rocket. I think it would be a gas! But like I said (In addition to the Harley).
The Spyder is pretty cool. I wouldn't be caught dead on that Piaggio though. When I can't do two anymore I'll just get a H-D trike kit.
Hmmmm...I have to admit, the spyder might be cool when I am so old I can't stand up straight. I would try it just for kicks. I would have to "rat bike" it out though. It would look cool if you gave it the "mad max" look, or a F-18 paint scheme.
Joker, If I get so old that I need a trike kit, just shoot me. I'll ride two wheels till I can't ride at all.
Dave, You buy the Can Am, I'll paint Mad Max style or F-18, and we can share it 50-50 O.K.?
That Spyder is very cool! I'm not crazy about the other one...it looks a bit off.
I'm with Joker...when I can no longer ride, I'll get the trike kit. :)
That's funny, because I just posted about the MP3 myself. It really is just a scooter, but sure catches people's attention. I'll keep my 2 wheels until I can't stand up any more. Then euthanize me.

Ann,
I agree that the Spyder is very cool. I'm not crazy about the other one either.
I think trike kits are like training wheels. I couldn't do it. I think I'd buy a true three wheeler first. Than I could at least say it was meant to be that way. But I don't think I'd be happy on 3 either.
Becky,
I checked out your post you just did about the MP3 yourself. Nice pictures of it. It looks a lot different in your post that in mine, due to the lack of alien like windshield.
