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.

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.

Good to see you local boys are getting to see them. They are
selling like hotcakes in Florida.


Florida is full of old farts who can't ride a real motorcycle. Cushman
used to make a three-wheeler woth seating for two and two wheels up front.
Good Humor had three wheelers, too.

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.

What exactly is a real biker in your estimation?


To Harry Krause, it's probably someone who owns a 'virtual' Ducati.
