    After a day for the fever to subside I've realized I don't want to spend that much on something I can't let 95% of my friends and fam drive for lack of cycle endorsement. At my age the most fun aspect of toys is sharing them.
    Yeah, for that money you could make a used Miata really fun.

    I enjoyed my black 1995 Miata for years. In my retirement I'm working through a bucket list of vehicles I always wanted. Currently have a 2000 Land Cruiser that I love dearly. But she's a pig in the corners.
    The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”

    Or a lightly used Honda S2000 for that matter.

    Still, I think Polaris is on to something here.
    Shut up, row well, and live.

    If someone else could drive with a motorcycle licensed passenger...

    Just curious about the license issue. if the Cam Am spyder doesn't need a motorcycle license why does this need one.

    Can Am requires motorcycle license in MN. May vary by state.

    Oh, wait. A wheel.

    Also: At least it's the proper lay-out for a trike. Better than a Reliant Robin.

    I'm fond of the follow-up segment where they had the Stig drive one around the track for time.

    I say they had him drive it, I really mean they attempted to have him drive it - the Reliant didn't make it around the first corner before rolling.
