Ooooooooo.. and they have a TRIKE!!!!  Something even I can't lay down!!!!  WAHOOOOOO!!  Now.. how deep did you say the oil was under my property... India huh... nuts!!

Yeah it's a real nice bike and all, but if I was to make a choose on a street bike it would be the Cam-Am Spyder Roadster RT. I sat on one the last time we were at the dealership and wow did it ever feel good plus it cheaper then a Harley as well.

Those are all some sexy bikes.
I wouldn't mind test driving a NightRod... very sexy bike.

    Ya Paul,   it looks like we are thinking the same thing.......trikes.

    As I'm reading this the ride to Stergis has been on TV for a couple of hours.     rwilli

Yipe I have seen Sturges on TV as well, it's unreal!! My Brother and his Wife usually go every year on there Harley as it's only a 9 hours drive from here. He was telling me every year he sees more and of those Can-Am Spyders at Sturges.

Our local Harley-Davidson shop sells a lot of bikes every year and he was also saying the 3 wheel idea is getting more and more common every year. Harley came out with a 3 wheeler conversion kit and the dealer is selling more then what Harley is able to make. Unreal ah?

Here's the link to our local Harley shop, it looks really nice! www.gaslighthd.com

Apparently there is also a new guy in town who does ALL custom conversion work to turn regular road bikes into trikes.  Pretty slick stuff too from what I have been seeing.  Those Spyders sure are awful nice to ride I've heard.  One of these years... maybe after the oil well comes in.

[BRPFan]

Yeah Paul those Spyders ride really nice!!! I took one for a test drive and was very impressed!

This weekend I traded my 02 Shadow for a ZX11 Ninja.... Was a huge change in performance.... The new one is a fun bike to ride.

[foxgrove]

How do you find the riding position compared to the Shadow.. I always found the crotch-rocket style tiring over long distances but REALLY fun for going fast!!  This one looks like it doesn't REALLY bend you down but change can be hard on us.. Initial impressions???

[aksoutherland]

Initial impressions are, is very fun to ride. I think it is more comfortable than the shadow. The riding position is a fairly natural position.
After riding for about an hour one of my wrists started to ache. Not real bad, but enough that I knew it was going to take some time to get used to it. Granted the shadow is a smaller bike, I found that riding for anything more than about 30 or so minutes I would be ready to get off of the bike. Mostly because my tailbone just couldn't handle it any more. I didn't have that with this one. I think it is a very enjoyable experience.

Congrats on the Ninga! Post some pictures of her if you could!

[aksoutherland]

I have one that I can post, I will have to get some more one night this week.
Now to figure out how to post a pic??

[foxgrove]

Easiest way is to use one of the photo sharing sites and put the url for the image location inside the [ i m g ] and [ / i m g ] brackets. (no spaces)  Hope that helps.

[aksoutherland]

That does help. I will get an account with one and get some pics posted.
