I climbed onto a 2008 B.R.P. Can-Am Spyder Grand Sport Roadster, a sleek vehicle with three wheels — two in front and one in the back. 
Part car, part motorcycle and a whole lot of fun, the futuristic Spyder looks more like the love child of Henry Ford and Isaac Asimov than a creation from a Canadian maker of leisure-time vehicles.
Handsome as Brad and curvy as Angelina, the Spyder has enough cargo room to hold a pair of helmets big enough to contain the egos of both. It also has more than a few traces of the DNA found in Sea-Doo watercraft, Ski-Doo snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles also manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products, a spinoff of the maker of aircraft and rail cars.
The Spyder is B.R.P.’s first highway-legal vehicle, and I was one of the first people outside the company to test it, cruising cautiously on public roads here near First Energy Park, the home of a minor league baseball team, the Lakewood BlueClaws.
