Drive impression of the Track diesel motorcycle. Able to go 500.000km without revision, and has about 1/5th of the fuel consumption compared to a gasoline one. Some more info here.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

The funny thing is that I never listen to that sticker. I always leave the side stand down when I'm rolling bikes around because I am really small and have dumped a bike on the ground just from losing my grip; if the side stand's down, I at least have a chance that it'll catch the bike for me

Do you need a motorcycle license to ride one of those? I'm guessing "no" considering the caliber of Can Am riders typically seen riding in Brooklyn.

No idea, but they seem to be the most assholish riders I've ever been around. It's the same level of scooter riders, they know they are of a lesser class, and know you know they are of a lesser class, therefore go out of their way to not acknowledge you in case you let them know they are of a lesser class. Also, they are all fat.

alright?
My dad was looking into a Can Am Spyder for my mom because she doesn't like riding the back or the front, but he wanted her to come with us. I think it looks like the worst bike/worst car ever.

It doesn't do either better and does both worse.

I believe the can-am motor is the same as the 1000cc Aprilia rotax vtwin is that correct?

Yup. Too bad it's pushing drat near twice the weight of any of the aprilias it typically powers.

I've not ridden a jet-ski, but it basically reminded me of riding a quad-bike, but without any of the fun.

I saw a whole flock of them going the other direction as me one time and was amazed that there was enough people buying them to put together a gang.
