Default two wheels

have had my spyder for a couple months. logged over 1200 miles on it so far, think its a great ride.
my wife took her BRC for trikes this week, was amazed at the level the instructor was demanding of her, was much more advanced than the brc i took on a two wheeled motorcycle. he said his course was based on the advanced training levels and had her going around all of the corners on two wheels.
i didn't even know the spyder could do two wheels. in the rain, high winds, and extremely cold with the instructor on the back seat changing orders constantly, seemed appropriate that the course was on an army base.
i hate to say that she acted like a better driver than me, but she handled all of the maneuvers extremely well. kudos to both the hardware and the software.
controlled aggression was something we didn't cover in my class.
anyway, we're both riding the great toy now.

Getting these Trypods up on two wheels isn't really all that difficult... It's what happens once they're up there that makes the difference!
Generally speaking; If you coast into a turn and really crank the bars, they'll be up on 2 pretty quick. It's when you try to apply power under those circumstances that Nanny gets in the way of the fun... Which is why she's there in the first place!
