The Spirit Lake, IA-made Polaris Slingshot is all the rage in the motorcycle world. I would call it a distant cousin of the motorcycle. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. Polaris describes it as a "heart-pounding, mind-blowing, grip-tightening, breath-taking on-road rush." I'd add the word "futuristic."

We're going to be seeing lots of these on Eastern Iowa roads, and I'll take another look on Saturday from noon-2 during my live KRNA broadcast at McGrath Powersports. It's been 5 great years for Mike, Jeremy, Brody and the guys in the Used Warehouse. Lots of people are thinking about what machine they might be on this summer. Everyone is ready to move the snow blower over in the garage to make room for a bike.

When looking at it's attributes, I'd have to say I like the tilt steering, Electronic Stability Control [ESC] and roll hoops. Instant fun. Check out full listing: specs.

Take this video for a spin, and I'll see you Satuday!
