......And who`s fault would that be? And what you state can also be very easily done, in fact much easier on a 2 wheeled bike.

When you have some evidence, post it.

Ummm, sorry Mr. Can-Am. But anybody that rides knows a bike is about as safe as it comes in regards to getting "thrown off". That's why I start my kids out on two wheels and not four or (for [bleep] sakes) three.

..............Well Good! Because I wasn`t trying to be cool and frankly don`t give a rip that I failed miserably by your estimation.

Besides, it wasn`t by my wind which created that long post. And you could always be somewhat creative and use that round circular device attached to your mouse to either ignore that long post or maybe even choose not to read it??.... grin


No need. I'm not bothered by it. But you were obviously expounding on how great these machines are. You just coated it with sarcasm.


Travis
............I own one! Not speaking here like I don`t know what the hell I`m talking about. You and others post from ignorance, where at least I post from experience and plenty of research. I also have talked with other Can-Am owners who HAVE owned regular bikes, WHO have themselves said that they are great. And you have done what??

Sarcasm? Call it what you want.

They could be the finest machine made by man, and I'd still be ashamed to be seen on one, without a full face tinted shield helmet. Then get on and off it somewhere that no one knew me.

I've been riding my whole life and I'll say that I've been on the ground riding my KTM 250EXC and my GasGas 321 TXT trials bike a WHOLE bunch more than when riding my Prairie 650 quad.
Thrown OFF isn't what I'd call it exactly but I've surely been thrown DOWN a whole bunch while riding dirt bikes.

.....Telegram to Mr. Travis. If someone were to get thrown off of any bike, it`s because they were either forced off the bike by getting hit or they lost control. Any Can-Am rider can get hit and be thrown off. Not saying they couldn`t.

However, conventional bikes and trikes, if given the same identical road conditions were to lose control, the rider is more apt to get thrown off the bike, whereas on the Can-Am far less likely to be thrown because of the features they put into them.

If the Spyder is as fun to ride as I think it would be I wouldn't give a damn what anyone else thought of me for riding it.

Wouldn't have a problem getting out of a Caterham 7 either.

Come on bro. A bike MAKES you lean. It's natural. Not so much on a quad. I think you know what myself and others mean when they say "thrown off".

But yeah, a fella can still eat schit on two wheels no doubt.... grin

.......Agreed. Where some would would never find their azzez on a Can-Am, I wouldn`t be caught dead in one of those POS little "Smart" cars.

There`s always something that people would never see themselves riding in or on.

I hope you enjoy whatever the [bleep] that thing is they call a Can-Am.

......Well I suppose if ya don`t lean too damn far that everything will be fine. As with all driven vehicles, its up to the operator to know his limitations and the ride he`s on!

As far as losing control and getting thrown off, 3 wheeled stances (with two on the front) is superior. That`s simply the way it is brudder.

I'm lucky enough to have wrenched, and herded a couple of these,....as well as their four wheeled brethren.

Certainly somewhat less "Gay", if that at all

....talk about flat haul azz around a CORNER,.....fun, too,....once one becomes accustomed to kinda' being the tail on a happy dog.

Have had the pleasure of watching those old JAP engined Morgans fight it out on the racetrack several times.
Looks like a lot of fun.
