RE: Spyder anyone?
Saw one the other day at a powersports dealer around here. I think the thing would definately turn heads as I have yet to see one on the road. Once I got home I saw an ad where they were offering demo rides...and from the looks of some of the test rides I saw on youtube, looks like it would be pretty fun.

local real estate guy here has two. i rode one a couple of weeks ago. It's like driving an open wheel car. 100 HP rotax engine makes it really fast. first curve not countersteering is an eye opener. priced around $15K.

Isn't that 15k a typo? they are more like 45k

They are expanded to Texas soon. I'll definitely try one. Looks like a ton of fun, especially for $15K.

RE: Spyder anyone?
I'm more interested in the Carver One. http://www.carver-worldwide.com/Home/Index.asp?nc=1
I have no idea how long before it makes it to the states, but I'd definitely replace my car with one. After all, I already have a motorcycle, what I need is a motorcycle experience with climate control for those bad weather dayswhere I have to wear fancy clothes for work.

OK, it looks like a street legal snow mobile but I think I am gonna line up a demo on one of these babies. Looks interesting. Maybe for my wife that is too afraid to ride a motorcycle?
There are two of these running around in the okanagan B.C. area, I did speak with one owner, he said it handles great, lots of power. But for me it's a little too strange and its not a Harley.
