To follow up from last week > [@I can't believe I'm the first one up MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-cant-believe-im-the-first-one-up-mmp/693059/310): > > **kopek** , I hope you’re feeling better soon. I will have to disagree with **Mooom** about the Can-Am. I rode on the back of one through the hills of east Tennessee afew weeks ago and it was FUN. The take curves more like a two wheeler than one with two in the back. They’d be awesome in the hills of Pennsyltucky. I will feel better later today once I get to the back-cracker and he shoves the last of the stuff into place. I had a fun time with the ladies from the cathouse and so did the Old Wench. We put a ticket into each bucket for the Chinese Auction and by pure chance I won 3 of the 4 that included booze. I got much picked on about that and enjoyed every moment of it. Can-ams ---------- in a few years I may be looking for a good used one. I’ve ridden a couple and they are a lot easier to handle and more fun to drive than the usual trike or hack. Tons better than the old servi-cycles. My real issue right now with them are 1. Parts – sometimes the wait for even simple things is a couple months. 2. Dealerships – I have like 2 around me 160 miles apart. Long haul if your scoot is sick 3. Mechanics – they have no real factory training system yet and the shop manual sucks. And because of the lower “circulation” no one is staying up nights to do a good private edition type thing so you can do your own work. I have thoughts somewhere in the back of my brain of finding one with a blown motor and putting V-twin power inside the frame. I’ll have to do a lot of one-off but the end result could be worth it. > [@I can't believe I'm the first one up MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-cant-believe-im-the-first-one-up-mmp/693059/283): > > **Ruble** , one of my hockey Peeps has a 3 wheeler. You might remember him, he was the 1 legged man that outran 40 of us to the next tequila bar. Hope you feel better, though. I remember him. Got friends like him as well and that’s part of the frustration. It’s hard to look at a dude missing an arm and a leg riding along and admit that you’re “caged” over back spasms. But mine is like a scoliosis with spasms and when that spasm hits ----- nothing works and my eyes do this most amazing crossing thing. I’ve had several compound fractures that haven’t hurt nearly as bad. But its hard to explain. Lets just say I got a lot more sympathy for Mario than I used to. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/changing-your-look-for-the-mmp/693653)._
