I CAN NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE?

Oh, come on guys, if we didn't want to be noticed, we'd all be riding Hondas!

Or Honda Civic's

Rode up to the local Waffle House yesterday for breakfast before my ride. While trying to eat got a barage of questions about the . Three different servers had to ask where I had this custom trike made? I calmly answered Canada . Took me almost an hour to leave the parking lot due to all the questions and admirers. Even though it's frustrating at times is sure is a ball feeling like a 'Rock Star".

After owning my SPYDER for 5 weeks and having to answer all sorts of questions about speed, mileage,and cost,I finally figured out how to handle the people. I went to my dealer and picked up several brochures and put them in my rear storage box and when approached, I give them the complete package and tell them to read. It still doesn't stop them completely, but it helps.

I don't live very far from Cowtown so the "Rock Star " thing is going away but NOW I have to make sure I take my KEY with me when I park my Too many folks around here know how to START it!!!

Got our first in July 08. The RT S in Febuary of 10. If I have to keep answering these same questions for another three years I swear I'll be about half fedup with it all!!!!

My wife and I stoped for lunck the other day and our server asked "are you riding that "Thingy" out there". I wanted to answer, No, we push it----Heeeerrrrreeeeessss your sign.

Today my wife and I were asked if they FLY but I'm fairly sure he was just kidding. Then again, you never know...

[Insy]

Aside from genuinely interesting questions, the most asinine comment I ever had was " Yes but you can't lane split on that tripod".

Then we had a funny encounter with a cop at a gas station in MI. He wanted to know how fast the Spyder would go. I told him that it would go fast enough for him to write me a ticket. He offered to put the radar gun on me.

True story of a brief encounter with a motorcycle officer:
Cop: How fast will that go?
Me: (sheepishly) 70
Cop: (smiling) Good answer.
Me: Well, I was in a residential zone!
Cop: (stern look...then he laughed)

He was pretty cool about it.

He also was asking about gas mileage and I sort of hesitated and said I get so much but I could get better mileage ... and he answered for me and said when you behave!

[Slybird]

The two questions I am always asked are: How much do they cost and how fast does it go. My responses are always: Too much and too fast!

[Bob Denman]

I've had them walk by mine peeking at the speedo and go, "Wow! 200..."

Here's what I did:
fired up the computer, cut and pasted a pic of my Spyder, the BRP web address, the Spyderlovers web address for the front, and the specifications for the back, printed it out on card stock - instant trading cards to hand out when you are in a hurry and can't stick around to answer questions!

I rode my wife's RT Limited to the gas station a couple of days ago to fill it up for her to ride to work the next day. I needed a few things from the grocery store, so stopped at a near by Save Mart. People pulled in behind me as I parked and said "hey, I saw those on TV". A lady loading her groceries next to my space asked too many questions. I was followed into the store by a very nice gentelman who also had many questions to ask about the Spyder. He was a Viet Nam vet like me so the conversation took over 30 minutes (I had ice cream in my cart). When I returened to the parking lot, a lady with 3 young kids were ogling the Spyder (at a respectful distance). She asked if I minded if she took a picture of it to show her husband. She said it looks like something from the "Transformer" movie. As I was driving to exit the parking lot, another car with a middle age couple in it stopped to ask questions. They finally drove on after a few horn honks from people wanting to get by them.

My 5 mile round trip to get gas and a couple of things from the store took a little over an hour. I have a lot of patience, but it was close to being tested that day.

The stupid questions are the only ones I can answer.

not sure if it my screen or Adobe being wonky, but the writing was really fuzzy on your card. if the wife weren't asleep i would turn on the printer and print one but.....i like breathing. will try tomorrow.

love the idea...now if only i knew how to mod that one with my specs....

This has been my experence, the $$ question is the first thing out of there mouth about 50% of the time. I think the second most asked question is " How dose it ride?".

On my way to work this AM there were two teenage boys at there bus stop and they gave me the . I always appreciate that from people.

Anyway, I am a Happy owner.

KIP -
If you want, I can try e-mailing you a couple different versions of the trading card, and you can see if they work on your computer.

I was asked the other day if I still had to steer the Spyder. I answered yes but it's all done by thought!, I just think which way I wanted to go and the Spyder responds.
