can you believe this question?

[SPYD3R]

I think some people remember the 3 wheel ATV's that tipped a lot and hurt people even though they were a regular trike and not a reverse trike....maybe that's what they were thinking?

I STILL HAVE MINE: 1984 HONDA 125M.... STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION.... ONE CARB REBUILD AND THAT'S IT, AND RUNS LIKE IT WAS BUILT YESTERDAY... GO HONDA....

You guy REALLY need to STOP shopping at WallyWorld!!!

the most asked questions i get are,1 DO YOU LIKE IT, AND 2 BEING HOW MUCH WAS IT

those are also the 2 most common questions i get many times from hd riders.

i have had 2 yamaha 250 trikes in the 90's & flipped them many times, they are very unsafe. In no way can i compare a to them. Yes those were off road trikes & 's are not but the regular trikes do flip very very very easily, i had the bruised ribs & aches to prove it.

Well I think that's a tiny little tractor. There was this ad out of Virginia I think about 20-25 years ago, Warning foul language.

The Spyders attract people, and questions are a natural extension of that curiosity. The fact that they know little about motorcycling doesn't make them "stupid". When riding we are all ambassadors for motorcycling, and our attitudes and behavior can help reduce the antipathy that many people feel for riders.

about as good as the guy who approaches hollers out ... HEY .. does that thing turn? I mean those front wheels ... do they turn?


my reply was nope .. they sure don't. that is why it takes me four hours to get home.


he stood there and watched me drive away and I made sure I turned the wheels for him to see.

You should have told him they don't turn, and you have to rotate them, every 100 miles, so it evens out the wear, since they drag on the ground like skis!

That's the comparison I've been getting...

[Dgjason]

I'll be glad to give them a ride in my sidecar. Right after I lift them off the pavement in a left hand turn, I'll give them a ride on the spyder. That will change minds.

Someone else had this question a while back!

So there I am at the petrol station having just filled up and have hung the
nozzle back on the pump......checking the cost and a woman comes over
and says "Oooooh that's really lovely, that is! Is it electric???"

WOW, that is one funny hill billy red neck ad.

Tell them, Yes; yes it is!!"

"But the Hedgehogs that spin the generators, are petrol-powered!"

Why, yes, it is. I use it to transport gasoline to my car!

Tell them that it's okay; you're licensed to operate a forklift.

Hey, not only am I a licensed forklift operator, but certified to train others

Guess what?
You're our new "Training Counselor"...

How about if we DOUBLE your salary, in here?

One the other nite, at a Bike Night, no less. I was standing by the Spyder
A guy asked how much braking distance I needed because the Spyder only had brakes on the rear wheel. I said, you can see the rotors on the front right there and it has the ABS system for stoping. He said, that must be new, hde had never heard of that. I was stunned so said nothing. He walked off. Couple moments later two guys came over in Harley shirts, then one asked, excuse me, did that guy say what we heard about the brakes. I said yes. He turned to the other guy and said, we need to rip the Harley shirt off that guy. But instead we talked a few minutes about the Spyder. They said, they remembered the Spyder fron Rustys ride a couple weeks ago. Nice coments from them.

I beieve that is a first.

There was a expert on here a long time ago. he was going to show us how to change the oil on a Spyder. His first coment was to find a secure spot for the kickstand. I did not go any further.
Off subject, thanks to all the real experts on here who helped so many of us with problems.

[Mike X]

I usually get , how much , how fast and does it lean .
But one time , again at a gas station , a guy asked me if you could actually use them on the road ....????......all sorts of answers popped into my mind but I just said yes you can and left it at that

[Dgjason]

My favorite one was the other day when this guy came over as I was leaving the store and wanted to know if it was articulated.

Is anyone aware of any Spyder ever rolling ? I'm not. Striking objects, or being hit doesn't count.

I tell folks that I'm not going to say it's impossible to roll them, but it is extremely difficult. Then I say it's not a bank robber's bike. When you turn key on it takes 15 seconds for the computer to boot up. I then I tell about how Nanny monitors all three wheels and lean and will throttle back if you're going in a turn too fast.

sometimes it's just nice being asked about the spyder
