hahaha that's a great cartoon and if everyone thought the same they would never have created a forum which is a place for open discussion in which opinions are likely a factor.
In that spirit I feel that the spyder is not all that great because it does not incorporate the motorcycle controls which make the experience.

couldn't agree more about the open forum I thought you might get a laugh out of the cartoons.
I'm puzzled about your statement about the controls, either you have never seen a spyder or I misinterpreted what you mean. The controls on the spyder are exactly like a motorcycle. The way you control the vehicle is pretty much the same except of course you cannot lean the vehicle into the turn.

Yes, pretty much the controls are the same, but.. in his defense, Leaning is part of riding a motorcycle, hugging that turn, leaning tight, sometimes scraping the peg, the thrill is something else. Though I do have to say again. I enjoyed it. Can't knock it till u rock it!!

Those are the different controls I was referring to. I might try it if I get a chance over the summer, but I don't know.
