The irony - to me - is that Texas claims to be a "free state" and California suffers under many, many regulations. (I have a house in Palo Alto.) But it is Texas that is keeping the Slingshot out and California lets it in.Nothing ironic there. If it has three wheels, it's a motorcycle. Period. Either way, the State gets it's vehicle reg money.
There is a vehicle rental shop here in Pismo Beach, California that has one; Pismo Beach is the only "drive-on" beach on the west coast, dune buggie rentals are big (small) business in the county. He claims it is the first "privately owned" Slingshot in the state of California (vs. "demo" machines). $400 per day gets you in it, so I"m out...
I will say one thing, in person, it is a BIG machine; with side-by-side seating, it had to be. I'll see if I can get some pics this afternoon.
Yes, it is a BIG machine. When I first saw one it was so big that I didn't recognize it.
