This quote describes the vehicle owner they are looking for.

ÔÇ£A weekend warrior,ÔÇØ is Mr. BoisjoliÔÇÖs characterization of a Spyder buyer. ÔÇ£Someone who sees motorcycling as a more social activity.ÔÇØ

In other words, a poser. If you have someone with too much money on their hands here's your money hole.

"A tricycle for adult situations?" I beg to differ. That would be even more useless that the back seat of a VW bug!
