More than any other motorcycle thing that isn't a Harley. I guess all
of the Gold Wing, Guzzi, BMW people went for a Polaris trike.
Some are rentals but there seem to be a lot that are privately owned.
(tricked up paint and screw on doodads). They must have a very
aggressive dealer here. There are also at least 3 Harley shops nearby.

We're starting to see more and more Bombardier Spyders here around the city.

Mrs.E. suggested that we get one of those or a Can-Am "Spyder" so she
and I could tool around on it during the summer months. Can't see it.
All the equipment for motorcycles still apply (helmets, leathers, etc.).
If I wanted mosquitoes in my face I'd rather have a regular,
two-wheeled Harley. Or maybe a BMW touring bike.

Buy her the Spyder and get yourself something more fitting for a real biker..

That is what I thought these were until I got a better look. It is
surely a knock off of them. They do have a dash that looks like a car,
fancy bluetooth radio, gauges, shifter and such. Not sure if that is
Nav and A/C or not

That first pic of the front look more like one of those funny little 3 wheel European cars...especially with the side by side seating.

They sell well here in my locale, but I never saw much future in one for myself. If you want a motorcycle get one, if you want a convertible, get one. To me, these are like a For Ranchero or a Chevy El Camino. They weren't a good car and they weren't a good truck, but they looked cool...

Now why would you add Guzzi's into your list? I'm sure you don't see a bunch of used Guzzi's at the
Polaris dealer!

Some folks like 'em, and more power to 'em. If and when I get to decrepit for my motorcycle, I'll
probably switch to a scooter. I'm liking the Honda Silverwing more each year.

They just don't look like they'd be fun to drive or easy to drive on a nice twisty. Seems like it
would be a lot like running a sidecar rig, always worrying about the inside tire coming off the
ground on a sharp curve.

Those things are called slingshots. My old neighbor has one. He
has spent thousands to make it more car-like. I don't get
it.
I have a spyder. It's fun to drive, and can be safer than a
two-wheel motorcycle.
