I really hadn't ridden a Harley in a long time. I owned one 20 years ago and have found that they had progressed very little with the newer ones that I had ridden. With the Dyna frame that was introduced some time ago, Harley made an improvement in quelling some vibration. The Twin Cam 88 motor was slightly more powerful and smoother than the Evo it replaced. Suspension and brakes still left a lot to be desired.
The 2010 Dyna Wide Glide that I had the opportunity to sample at Arizona Bike Week was a pleasant surprise!

Riding Impression: Can-Am Spyder
I had the opportunity to ride a Can-Am Spyder RS last week during Arizona Bike Week. I'll have to say, I cam away pretty impressed! I've been pretty curious to ride one since they were introduced a couple of years ago by Bombardier, makers of Sea-Doo, Ski-Doo, Lear Jet and Can-Am ATV's among other things.
I'll have to admit that I didn't have my hopes up too high after having ridden the BMW powered GG Quad a few years ago. Though the GG's specs and workmanship looked impressive, it had an unnerving quality of tracking every imperfection in the road. Along with working very hard to keep it straight, it required muscle to turn.
