So.... now I am *really* regretting selling my ST.  That previous video made
my heart ache.... It looks like I may be moving back the Washington DC area,
and I just don't think the DR-Z400 will cut it as my primary road bike for
daily comuting.

I find myself thinking of another ST, or more likely, the Speed Triple (or
Street Triple S).  But, I also find myself scouring the web for accessories
for the Can-Am Spyder.

I think that might make an excellent DC comuter bike because of the 3-wheel
stability.  Sudden traffic stops are the norm, and a persone wouldn't have
to worry about the front end sliding out from under the bike, and I bet the
extra tire surface area really improves braking performance.

Plus, I have this strange desire to hook up a smaller trailer to haul my
little dirt-bike around to go off-roading.... I saw a Gold-Wing with that
same setup, and I can't sop thinking about it.

Thoughts?

go with the real bike. Every riding review of the can am spyder says that is does not ride like anything else and is goofy. One review even went so far as to say that the spyder is not the best of both worlds (bike and car), but the worst.
