It was cool.
As in the Polaris Slingshot?
Saw one cruising the other day, twice.
Clearly the guy wanted to be noticed.
Maybe cool but not for me.
My son saw one when he was riding home on the bus the other day. When he got home he kept raving about this "awesome 3-wheeled car thing" that he saw.
i saw one a couple of months ago. i was standing in the parking lot of a parts store talking with my cousin and this weird 3 wheeled thing pulls into the parking lot and stops in front of the liquor store on the other end of the building... the guy (probably in his late 50's or so) went in and came back out with a small bag that looked like it might have been a 6 pack of wine coolers... my cousin said the guy was probably going to use his cute little car and the wine coolers to pick up a high school chick..
Saw one leaving work last week. With disabled Veteran tags on it. Driver was 65 if he was a day. Good for him!
I can't help but wonder if one were rear ended at speed, if the car running into it would just be catapulted up and over the driver/cockpit/whatever.
I don't get the point aside from someone who used to ride motorcycles but now cannot(injury, age, whatever) and wants a similar-ish feeling, but if it makes you happy then good for you.
I've seen one at a show and a college freind(I no longer keep up much aside from FB) is on the development team of that thing.
It looks like a really neat toy. Track weapon, no.
We have 2 running around NoVa/DC Metro area. I talked to one of the owners and he was nice. Old MC drag racer and he said it was as close as you could get to riding without riding. The little GM 4 banger was what sold him on it over the Polaris Spyder. He knew plenty of tricks he could do to it.
It is a toy. He was rigging his as a Goldwing touring rig
i feel like it should have a little tikes logo on the front. I dont care how awesome it is to drive around in, it looks like a kids toy to me.
save your pennies, this is how you trike. like a sir.
They have one at the dealer near me. yesterday while watering me new grass near the road I was buzzed by a t-Rex. I think the t-Rex looks a lot better.
Or at least, get something that's better looking:
Or if you like your V-twins, this is still better looking than a slingshot.
God is the Slingshot ugly...and it's even uglier in real life. It's like the 6 years interpretation of a three-wheeler.
I saw one for the first time last week. I thought it was neat to see, but not really interested in them as far as wanting to own one or even test drive one.
i occasionally see these running around, their headquarters is about 20 minutes from here. Tanom Motors Invader
