    Default Great Compliment on my Spyder Yesterday

    Hello All, I had to make a run yesterday to Lowes, I was low on Gas, so I stopped at a store I usually don't use, the lady behind the counter was a Indian , I walked in the door and soon as I got to the counter She said OOOOH, I like your bike, I looks like a spaceship, I didn't think much of it at the time, but the more I thought about it , it was a pretty Cool way to describe the Spyder, so I went back in a got a water after getting gas , and thanked her again for the compliment !!!

    It's nice to get these sort of comments. I was riding yesterday when someone in a passing car yelled out "Nice bike dude!" with a friendly wave.

    Default Every time

    Every trip on the Spyder usually has someone ask questions , give or say they think it looks cool , beautiful , futuristic etc . The most frequent is when my wife is on the back because she is looking around ( and hears better than me) and catches more of the comments .

    I've had a couple of people tell me it looks like a Transformer. I guess Transformers are more popular down here than space ships.

    2 days ago I took spyder to get a ice cream, and a gentleman asked me" Does the spyder steer like a " trike"?, I said" the spyder steers better than a trike because of the wheels are in the front, and I have been on a trike.

    Then some other guy said" I like your bike(Spyder) and I said "Thanks"
