The red tricycle

The "adult" red trike that is. The owner did not want to be included in the picture, but was more than happy to supply all sorts of information.

She told me that her trike is a 2012 Can-Am Spyder Roadster which set her back about $30K. Kind of a reverse tricycle as the single wheel in the rear is the drive wheel. Evidently, the front wheels do the steering.

Power is supplied by a 1000 cc "Rotax" aircraft engine and I was very impressed when she told me that even the hand grips for driver and passenger are HEATED. A pretty amazing machine ! As their ad says... "part motorcycle and part...imagination"

She claims it is very stable, and likes it SO much that now she is contemplating buying the 2013 model.
