Best I ever had was the guy who followed me into a parking lot and asked how the steering connected to the rear wheel.
I explained that the bars controlled the front wheels but he would have none of that.
"I just watched you turn in here and that thing turned just like my fork lift does with the rear wheel", he argued.
He got down on the ground and checked everything out and still didn't believe me.
Finally he said, "you're just puttin' me on ain't ya... I know that thing steers from the rear."
He finally left still talking to himself.
Then there was the lady who came up to me at a rest area on the interstate and asked...."Can you drive those things on the highway?"
I was tempted to tell her I flew it in, but didn't have the heart.
Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Hondas, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.

man does that thing turn?
nope ... it's hell trying to get from one side of the road to the other. other than that its a fun ride.
my brother almost bought one of those at Costco a few weeks ago.
I saw a guy do a wheelie on one of those one time. it was awesome.

With the GS "did you build it yourself?"
With the RT "does it have three wheels?"

Number 1 question is how much does it cost?
Favorite question (in full Gomer Pyle accent) Does that thing have gears? I said yes, just like a motorcycle. Dude goes, oh 3 down and 2 up? That one was so stupid I almost forgot that it's 1 down and 4 up. Made me hesitate for a second.

When I bought my first one in November 2007
I got pulled over by Leo 3 times the first day -- Is that legal on the road
Then there were the Asians that asked if it was Suzuki or Kawasaki
The best was when they asked if it was front wheel drive
And the list goes on

I've been asked a couple of times, "That's front wheel drive, isn't it?"
