This isn't a story about politics, I swear. However, Can-Am, which stands for "Canada-America," invited me to Arizona to test the Canyon, a new three-wheeler. It's like the Spyder except it's designed to "democratize all roads," making adventure riding more accessible.

Everyone around me was going on and on about the specs and features, excited to get their hands on the wheel.
