Can-am "Black and Yellow" Spyder

This past weekend I got a chance to take the Can-Am Spyder for a ride. Loved it! This ride is a monster with lots of power and speed. Remember that the handling of the Can-Am is much different than a regular motorcycle. Riding long distances is very comfortable because your feet don't have to touch the floor. There is also plenty of room in the back for a second rider. The Black and Yellow colors are reminiscent of the Wiz Kalifa song. If you're hanging around the Miami area be on the lookout you might see me pull up next to your ride on the Spyder.
