I know. Especially this one. Thanks Coho!
Hey, Sue....good for you. I used to sell those things and I was the "official demo leader" at the dealership. We just wouldn't let anybody ride one. We had a practice "track" out back to iron out the basics. Then it was up to me to lead about a 10 CanAm group on about a 10 mile test loop. I think they are OK...I've been riding two wheels for over 50 years, so quite an adjustment. Do you find yourself planting both feet at stops? Lol Also, I noticed how the width was hard to get used to....you have to watch the centerline AND curbs! I'm happy that you are happy with yours....lots of options available...I'd dump that soundless can if it were me. Cheers, Eric

I like any rig that has the same motor that my RSV Mille did   Bigok

Those are getting popular, I'm seeing them out and about in bigger numbers every year.

Thanks Eric. I hadn't ridden 2 wheelers much, so didn't have a whole lot to unlearn. I have ridden quads, so the handling was familiar. Still working at twistys at faster than a walking pace (as Bikerfish would attest to), but getting better. They are clearly not for everyone, but for me - it is a really good fit. Cheers back, Sue

Sounds like me driving the sidecar  Lol. When a turn sign says "30 MPH", that's how fast I go. With practice, you will get much faster on that though  Thumbsup

Congrats!
I keep telling the wife she should get one! But she loves the ability to lean her little Ninja.
Looks like a BLAST!
