BEING A SPYDER ROADSTER RYDER

Verwood, Dorset, UK, 3 August 2009 - Actor John Cusack tours Ireland on a BRP Can-Am™ Spyder® roadster whilst getting back to his Irish-American heritage.

John Cusack has just finished a driving tour with a difference during a visit that brought him back to his roots in Ireland.

The Irish-American actor, who is famous for films including Con Air, Grosse Point Blank,America’s Sweethearts and Being John Malkovich, arrived in Ireland 10 days ago to
celebrate his mother’s 80th birthday with family.

The trip was undertaken on the striking Can-Am Spyder roadster - allowing him to take advantage of Ireland’s country roads.
Won over by the exhilarating ride and eye-catching three-wheeled form, it wasn’t long before he decided to get his own Spyder roadster. Cusack purchased a Spyder roadster after
being introduced to the three-wheeled vehicle by a friend.

His road tour took him to several areas of Ireland with his family including Dublin, Kenmare and Galway.
“Ireland is a beautiful country and I have been amazed by the history and scenery,” comments Cusack. “The Spyder roadster is best experienced in open countryside and
Ireland offered the perfect opportunity." “The Spyder roadster is all about power, control and freedom. When I bought mine I
discovered it was so easy to operate and manoeuvre and by the end of the day it was like I had been riding for years."
