Heres another story with a pic of the bike..

There's been a bunch of bike crashes around here the past few days. A guy hit a piece of farm equipment laying in the rode and was ejected today also, he survived, and WAS WEARING A HELMET.

As some know I hit a culvert and was tossed a few weeks ago, I had a headache but walked away! Wear your gear, at least a helmet!

R.I.P. lease: condolences to the family.

This is the bad side to the CanAm marketing strategy. Buy it and.get your license the same day??? Asking for trouble especially with the false sense of security with 3 wheels.

From my dunce stool :cookoo:

Isn't it a lot easier to get into trouble in corners with these things?
Seems to me a bike you can lean a bit more or whatever but I just imagine these things being like a plow around corners? Never ridden one may be wrong.

I have ridden one and you are absolutely right. You get a lot of push with that big flat rear tire.

Looks cool but it's not a motorcycle in my opinion. I think it's riduculous that people can get their motorcycle license using one of these things. Just asking for trouble.
