Test ride the Can-Am Spyder Roadster

[Volvi]

I've just registered to attend the Spyder Experience and test ride the Can-Am Spyder Roadster.

The Spyder Experience takes about two-hours, as participants can grab a coffee, are briefed on the roadster, do some basic exercises, hit the road, then chat to the Can-Am team about the experience.

It's totally free and there are plenty of locations and time slots to suit.

So register now at http://www.spyderexperience.com/

Im booked in for April 18 midday Melbourne. Looks like it could be fun.

If your going to go 3 wheels, your may as well go 4.
Would prefer a 500HP V8 Busa Motor Ariel Atom.

Ive been waiting for the Ariel Atom to hit our shores for quite some years, and it still aint here. Been in New Zealand already some years but not in Oz, must be the 'speed kills' right....forget I said that gruntmax dont wanna send ya off in a tantrum lol.

I'm booked in for a test ride in Canberra on Sunday, May 9. I was booked in some months ago for a test in Newcastle but had to pull out of that one, can't remember why.

The reason the meeting point is at a hotel is because the first part of the test is a familiarisation course in the car park before you go out on the open road. Probably also for easy acces to tea & coffee making facilities. Obviously the Spyder handles differently to a bike- it doesn't lean for a start! There's something different about the brakes too; if I remember correctly, I think it's only got a foot brake, like in a car.

That Atom - beautiful machine. Will beat a busa around a track in the right hands.

An Atom will beat damn near anything around a track. I would LOVE to have one.

The Spyder is ok; it has it's place...but it's not a bike, no matter how much the owners would like to delude themselves.

Same as those arseclowns that buy those VW trikes...they seem to wave all the time when they see you, but I refuse to acknowledge them.....buy a bloody car and leave the window down, it's no different!!

Yep, I refuse to acknowledge Harley "riders" and anyone on a scooter.

I know a Ulysses bloke who flipped one of those after hitting a pothole ............he's going back to a bike to replace it.

Get in traffic with that thing & you might as well be in a cage...it defeats the purpose of motorcycling (IMHO).[/i]

I went on one of the Spyder Experiences here in Perth...

Whats not to like.

[Volvi]

Did a couple of test rides last year. Funny, quirkey and definitely NOT a motorcycle. The steering is all f****d up, leaning the wrong way, putting your head over the inside front wheel. Was fun though.
