    Slingshot whacks a deer at about 2:19

    See it in the video:

    Still researching these things and tyrying to see if I really want one. They're legal now in Maryland. And they appear to absorb deer strikes fairly well.

    I sat in one several weeks ago, up at Pete's Cycle in Baltimore. Couldn't take it out for a test drive because some damned kid stole the gas cap and it would throw codes if run that way.

    I like them. They are unique.

    I was told that they are uncomfortably hot to ride during the summer. The story mentioned the engine heat would creep into the passenger area.

    The issue I see in this vid is the guy was wearing cameo pants and the deer did not see him.

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    I also thought they would be a pretty cool ride. A buddy and I went and tested one and it was hot, loud, and very uncomfortable. Performance was not near what I expected.
    I'll pass.

    Yes, a test ride is definitely something I would want to do... if I was to seriously contemplate on getting one.

    I test road a Canam Spyder years ago and couldn't wait to get that thing back to the dealer.
