Can am canyon adventure trike

I like it. For gravel travellers it’s perfect. Where I’m staying 90% of the roads are unpaved, not suitable for cruisers or sport bikes. ADVs and dual sports - OK.

A lot of older riders have to stay on asphalt, this opens gravel travel to those folks. I’m not there yet… but the day will come for all of us.
Funny thing is I was having that conversation the other day about going 3wheels when the day comes
 
I think they'll sell, but I think that the lousy ground clearance will be a huge issue when people actually take them offroad into any sort of challenging terrain. I'd expect to start seeing aftermarket lift kits and farkles for these very quickly.

Belt drive seems like a questionable choice for offroad however - that belt and pulley is going to eat a lot of rocks which sometimes doesn't play nice with belts and pulleys.
 
No different then the majority of pickup trucks, off road motorcycles, dual sport and adventure bikes...

How many actually go off the beaten path and explore?

Watched my dad get cancer at 49, and pass away at 53. It taught me a lot of things. One of them was not to wait for fun.

I'm with @xrljoel - I'll take a Miata. I'll even take a convertible Volkswagen Beetle over that thing.
 
Hopefully gyroscopic technology will be advanced enough in the future to allow me to stay on two wheels when age and infirmity argue otherwise...

Me: Did you have a good ride?
R1200GS: Yes! Next time you should come along!

Very sorry about your dad, and I appreciate your attitude.

I'd love to do more 'fun' things, but I cannot get over my head the debt to get to that stage. Too many other 'priorities' for the money that need to be addressed.

My dad is 72...refuses to retire. And the cottage to him is 'need to go do XYZ and come home'.

I wish they sold it because that would alleviate that issue for them.

Back on thread! I'd get one of those Spyders if the need arose. Would make an awesome cross country tourer.
 
Does H.O.G. know you're hauling a brit bike in that thing?

Only Harley could get away with a branded support vehicle. I've heard that if you train a Harley right it will get in a pick up on it's own.
 
Curious - does debt transfer from a father to his kids if he passes away without paying it off?
Or does the bank come after the property?
I would think that depends on how the debt was structured.

Unless the loans are co-signed, debt doesn't get transferred to the kids, but the proceeds of the estate of the deceased will be used to pay off these debts to creditors before the kids inherit it.

The estate owes the debt. If there are assets in the estate, they pay the debt. If the estate doesn't have assets to cover the debt and you don't do something dumb like assuming it, the debt dies with the debtor.

Others have answered already. I’m hearing of partners divorcing later in life for the same reason. They each run up heavy debts to have fun in their last years, and then when they die the other partner isn’t saddled with the debt.

What if the estate has sweet **** all for assets and the kids are the only family?
