I grew up racing motocross....i've done a little street riding. I'm not a big fan of being on the freeway. :eeps:
I test drove a Can-Am Spyder today...
.....INteresting and fun...but not like riding a motorcyle at all.
A local dealer offered test rides. No motorcycle license needed in California. :thumbup:
It was a real kick to drive in a straight line and it hauled ass...but in the turns (especially the freeway connector) it felt as if it was trying to straighten out on you...even when you lean your body way over. Perhaps it would just take time to learn the riding style.
ON the freeway...it felt very stable and more "safe" than a two-wheeled bike. I hit about 80 on the freeway for a moment. Felt very strong.

Mostly, I've been tossing around the idea of getting a "cruiser" bike lately. Ever since I saw the Dark Custom series "Cross Bones" at a local Harley dealer, I just can't get it off my mind..
40's retro bobber style with a "springer" front end...
This is it...
