Default New Spyder Roadster/What Bruce does for a living..

So...a few of you have asked what I do on the weekends that I work (which is most weekends any more...LOL)

This is a demo that I set up for Bombardier/BRP/Can Am for their new Spyder roadster...

I rented out the parking lot at Westworld...home of Barrett Jackson '07 and got the necessary insurance, etc. for the demo to happen.

Here are some shots of what the set up looked like in the 105 degree heat (that's the air temp...who knows how hot the pavement was...where is Denis with his infared thermometer...LOL)

The Barrett Jackson/Westworld big tent seemed lonely...

Chris...Yep, they are street legal.

The floodlight lady and her husband flew in from Texas (where everything is big...LOL) to test drive and...they put deposits down

The Spyders will be released in September. The are 990cc Rotax motors(the same engines that in Aprillia's) and are speed limited to 110mph. They have ABS brakes, traction control, fuel injection, etc.

They sure are different!

I have to do the same demos next Thursday (Friday is the Harley car/bike show), then back to the demos next Saturday and Sunday...
