 In Russia, Spyder not so common
I was on a ride this weekend and pulled into a stop at the summit of our mountain passes. (Berthoud Pass for anyone wondering).
There was a big tour bus and quite a few folks milling around taking in the scenery. Heads turned as I pulled up in the Spyder and folks began asking questions about it and taking pictures or having their picture taken with it. Now I know how it feels to be a rock star.

Turns out the tourists were from Russia and not many of them have ever seen a Spyder in real life. Although, they do seem to have a BRP dealer. http://www.rosan.com/catalog/rodsteri-spyder/
... and all I wanted to do was use the restroom. (I got to, finally)

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

Sounds like a 'depends' moment. The knew what they were doing and probably had bets on.
Willie make it?
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

Definite rock star status when it is difficult for you to make your way to the restroom. You may have made their trip more memorable and were a good Spyder ambassador.
