I Just Couldn't Help It!

[Kraut]

About 45 minutes ago, I was fueling Scoot3r at the local convenience store when a young woman and her boyfriend/husband pulled up to the pump behind me and got out. They both showed a high level of interest in my ryde and came up to look it over. the young women then asked me, "Is that one of those Volkswagen conversions?" I just couldn't stop my mouth-and said, "No it started out as a '34 Ford; I just got carried away with the chopping and channeling." She got a very puzzled frown on her face and her boyfriend/husband stood there shaking his head. I then explained Scoot3r is a CanAm Y Trike designed that way and gave her one of the brochures I carry. As they went back to their pickup she turned to her boyfriend/husband and stated very firmly, "I still think it's a VW." It made my day!

There is no way to refute illogic or fantasy.... But I like the 34 Ford angle.

I just got back from a 4873 mile trip and I know what you are talking about. I was asked, "what 's that?","who makes it?". One time I was gassing up when three other couples on Harley's pulled in. One of the women walked over to check out the Spyder. She asked how comfy the ride is than yelled over to her husband who was filling up their bike, " honey, I don't know what it is, but I want one". His reply was, " the bike or the biker". I don't know if I was insulted or not. It was funny either way.

Sometimes, you can get away with, "The Mother Ship has landed..."
A Volkswagen...

I like to say. "Umm... what year is this?" Then when they say 2013 I say, "Sh**!" and drive off as fast as I can.

when folks ask me what mine is i say its a transformer. i tell them to stand in front of it for a few minutes and watch what it turns into. you would be surprised how many people go to the front of the bike and just stare. being a smart a__ sometimes is fun.

I agree; it "transformed" all of my money into some REAL great times!!!

[bullant12]

I always get the "Do you like it?" question on stops... I sometimes feel like answering "I hate it! I just like to torture myself!" But then I bite my tongue...

When my friends first saw my bike they said right off it looked like a Transformer lol



Now they joke that I need training wheels.

Logical question to ask to some people [who aren't all giddy over their machine] When ever I'm in the market for a new machine, I would ask
that same question, And some will ''Actually'' tell you all about it ''Warts'' and all....

An honest assessment can be tough to find...

[Chupaca]

But sometimes it is just so much fun...we have a member who rydes with us who changed his front emblem to BMW can you imagine the fun he has..??

[bzbaeren]

I am always amazed at the number of people ask "how much did it cost" I'm not sure I told my wife the full cost before farkles.

[Bob Denman]

I've got an easy answer for that one:
"It's not what I've got in it ; it's what I get OUT of it that matters ."

[bzbaeren]

I will remember that its a great answer.
Thanks

RE: What is it? It a snowmobile conversion is another good answer.

RE: How much did it cost? I always ask them "What do you think"? I get a lot of answers in the $8K to $10K range. I love to see their mouths drop when I tell them $17K to $30K. Maybe after this year, the new high end will be $32K. ???

...they joke that I need training wheels.

Hey, you could tell 'em, "I tried some once, but there was no room left for the kickstand!"

Had a guy ask me the other day if it was true about all the roll overs. I'm thinking where the did that come from. Told him I'd never heard of a roll over. He thanked me asked about a dealer, I pointed him at Middletown Cycle and he motored away in his cage.

Ride and ride safe,

questions sometimes....During my recent 4,800 mile out West ride I got some good ones. In Kansas at a gas fillup a woman commented "I want to get me one of those...my husband (bless his heart) just passed away and I'm ready to have some fun!" A guy in Missouri at a fillup walked around it twice with a scowl on his face and finally asked "What did that set you back?" I told him 32 k out the door. His response was "Humph!" Best one was cute blonde in Birmingham at a red light who wanted to know who makes it. I told her "Can Am"...we roared off. She slid up beside me at the next light and gave me her card with phone # and said "I wanna ride!" Card was valid.
