Sharp looking Bike, and thanks for the tip.

Lorenzo...My first bike was a Katana, was decent for getting into it, but those other bikes you mentioned blow it out of the water.

Where on Earth are you planning on stunting in Calgary?!

zing!

Hey, anyone seen those bikes that have the two wheels up front and one in the back?

I can't decide if I like them or not.

I have. I even went so far as to look them up once, but do you think I could remember the URL or name or anything? I gotta stop drinking out of aluminum cans.

I also remember they profiled them on Discovery a few years back when they first started popping up.

To me it seems kind of neat. But I wonder what it's like cornering on them. I'm not motorbiker (although I ride two wheels a lot so I *sort* of know what I'm talking about here...maybe??), but it seems to me part of the allure is the banking into a turn? With 3 wheels you're not going to get the same feel (whether the duallie is in the front or in the rear??) ..I dunno though?

Was checking it out at the bike show. They are kind of neat and would be a great getting around town vehicle for better weather. Not really a bike though :-)

My thoughts exactly. I've seen a few in Calgary and the don't do anything for me really. But hey, I'm sure my bike doesn't do much for some people either. To each their own!

Can Am Spyder is the bike you speak of.



Unless you mean the Piaggio scooter
