    I just tell them the skis are in the garage ... and I'm waiting on the snow. Since this is TX, while they think about that, I leave!!

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice ... in practice, however, that's just a theory.

    We once had a small boy ask us if it was a Transformer.
    "Why yes; yes it is! It transformed all of my extra cash into great times!"

    I mot often hear "Scooter". Haven't figured that one out but........ Some of my two wheeled friends talk about my "Training Wheels". I just remember what my Daddy always told me. "Just consider the source son and walk away with a smile." Works for me almost as well as my Spyder does!!! He was a wise ol' guy.

    Ride in comfort,

    Default Sexy

    In a donut shop last summer and came out to observe a distinguished looking elderly lady, dressed to the nines in a smart summer sun dress, walking around the RT with her hands poised on her hips. As I approached she smiles and asks me if this is my bike. I replied yes and she turns back to look at the RT and said that it was the "sexiest" thing she had seen in a long time.

    I walked over. looked at her and then at the trike, and informed her that since I had just finished waxing the Spyder all she was seeing was a direct reflection of herself in the plastic. The first time I had actually observed someone titter. Definitely a priceless moment for me. Sure beats the standard snowmobile on wheels that I often get!

    We have a lot of riders out here, a lot of MC,s and I belong to both the ALR and the VFWR so mine is seen often. What I'm encountering of late is a fair amount of attention from some pretty hard core bikers who have taken notice in a positive way. For example, when out in Laughlin I had an old Harley dude sizing up my RS, came over asked a bunch of questions mostly about performance, turns to me and says 'its cute' [now I've heard this before, didn't bother me] then as he's walking away turns and replies 'but I like it'.

    A few guys at Darrell's work own Harley's & Honda's and refer to our spyder as "Perverted"

    we are always asked "What is it?" "Where did you get it?"

    I get it all, mainly at work..... trike, backwards tricycle, scooter. Even heard Transformer a few times. But it doesn't bother me. I got what I wanted, and I'm not a follower.... I'm a LEADER. All of the two-wheeled folks have asked me to join this club or that club. I say, "I'm waiting on a Spyder Club to form around here". I have started to see more & more Spyders in the area. Not the "new kid" on the block anymore!

    Default Spyder Name

    Does your Spyder have a name? If so what is it and why?

    I call my Spyder Billie, because when I first saw her I thought of a bullet, which lead me to The Legend Billie Jean (I am showing my age, I know).

    OK so my embarrassing truth is out there, what is your story/name?

    I refer to mine as the convertible, because it is topless and I told my wife when it goes I am going to a convertible.

    I call my spyder the Grey Ghost, cause its more grey than silver to me, and I like old style comic books, just kinda boiled to the top of the frontal lobe of my jacked up mind.

    Mine is called 'Fidelity National Bank'. When it's fully mine, I'll think of a new name...

    I call mine "Shadow". It's graphite, the subtle gray/silver color changes as the light does and it mysteriously keeps calling and taunting me to go for a ryde.
