Atlanticade 2015

July 1st to 5th brought Atlanticade Motorcycle Rally to our area. It partnered with a Ribfest event, so how can you say no to that?
Registered on July 1st, Canada Day here, like 4th of July but a bit less fireworks. Street parties most of the week, and I was able to make it downtown Friday night and Saturday. Was even able to take in a ride early Saturday up past Bouctouche and down to Pointe-du-Chene for lunch, Not big miles, but a ride is a ride. Even got the wife out (in the truck, perfers 4 wheels,) for vendor tents and ribs'chicken Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Weather was great all weekend, except for thundershowers on the Sunday closing ceremonies.
One of those new Polaris 3 wheeled car thingies was there, looked very fun.

Trust me, you don't want to see them now...and I didn't take pics when I should have.

I drove one of those Slingshot Polaris three wheelers back in AZ last January, they are a blast. More sports car than bike. Price is not bad either about 19k for the gray one and 24k for the red one.

Well, they look pretty neat, and I think I like the appearance of them more than those Can Am bikes. Trouble is, for that kind of money a nice used convertible car can be had.

When I was in Maggie Valley a group of people mentioned that a few states are having trouble with vehicle classification for the slingshot. Some say if you do not straddle the engine it is not a motorcycle but classified as a car.

Connecticut is one where you can't register it. It's because it has 3 wheels and a steering wheel from what I have heard from a Polaris dealer on Long Island
