If this is true you should have stopped and taken time to strike up a conversation and joshed around with the guy. Only you allow someone to make you angry. It's not him but your lack of control or your predisposed attitude about people like this that you let get under your skin. Think about it!

I took my Spyder to Sturgis in 2010 when they were still pretty new on the scene and has zero problems. I've ridden all over the US with my group of buds that are all on HD's and have never had a problem.. other than I get most of the attention.
While they're (my HD buds) all pretty sold on staying with 2 wheels, they have all said when they go to 3 wheels they would go with the Spyder. They also respect the power as I've always been able to dust any of them off the line... .
Ride what you like... like what you ride. I could care less what anyone else thinks about my ride.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

So far so good.....
Well I rode Harley's for years. Got the Harley tattoo , dog named Harley and my granddaughter is named Harley Lynn. Last bike before my 16 RT-S was a 13 anniversary edition Triglide. Buddy of mine bought a Spyder and I had always wanted to ride one. Rode it and really tried not to like it. Went back home and told my wife you need to ride this thing. Within a mile or 2 she said OMG this thing rides great !!! Three days later we traded for the Spyder. Got a couple thousand miles on it and it's been great so far. Will I stay with the Spyder , only time will tell. What I know right now is it really put the FUN back in riding. Only thing concerns me right now is the lack of dealers like Harley has and also the amount of sensors and things on the Spyder. Read post where people have theirs in the shop more than they ride then the next post someone has nearly 100k with only oil change and regular maintenance. Someday I could go back to Harley but for now we are really enjoying this ride. Like I said we ride Harley for years and don't have anything bad to say about them. Everybody I've rode with past and present are happy and I'm happy so it's all good. Chris .......

I knew you would have to say something cus I know you like your Harley dudes. I don't get a lot of negative comments and when I do it has been exclusively from Harley riders. So I am glad you think they are all just wonderful, charming, just want to be your friend kind of guys but I have not had that experience. I avoid them if I can just so I don't have to hear the crap.

So since you say that you "Never Make Assumptions": does this just make you a liar?
Or merely a fool?

It's actually a shovel handle with a pitch fork end for those who need more exercise.
