i waited in line for a hour and a half for the demo guy to try and get his head put of his azz so i could. it never happened tho

 

Looks Like A Little Ride Report Coming

 

lol, I'm booked in at 2.30 no waiting

 

was it fun mang or what?

 

today is sunday, I'm riding it friday

 

I'll give u all a heads up on it. I rode one for about 20 min on last sunday (I live in jax, during the blue angels show, they were there demo'ing). It was a blast, a little different, no leaning, just turning. The brakes are controlled by the right foot, controls all three tires. Has like abs, scs, and god knows what. Its an awsome ride, smoothhhhhhhh. Starting it is kind of a pain, when u turn the key over, u have to wait for a message to come on, stating to read this stupid disclaimer thingy, don't have to read it, just hit the "m" button by the key, or hit the mode button by your left index finger on the left handle. Also funny feeling not having to use your right hand for brakes was kind of weird. Now they did make them in auto and man. The man has five hears, shifts like a bike, execpt for it has reverse, hold the reverse switch with your left hand and hit reverse with your right hand.. little complicated. Now the auto, you have a shifter paddle to shift up, but when u slow down, it auto shifts for you, but you can shift down manual too if you want, no clutch. Umm.. Anything else?? Oh yeah, the "E" brake by your left foot, have to engadge and disengadge, enough said on that. Anyways, sorry for the long read, but thats the heads up, Enjoy the ride man, I know I did!!!

 

Sounds as lame as they look, just my $.02

 

I think it would be like pushing a grocery cart with a motor, or maybe like riding a Gravely lawn mower with a drive axle...
Not diss-ing it, necessarily.
Thanks for the review, awsome.
