The dumbest comment / question I've heard...

[GoodHouse]

"It only has one key.. wow cool"

I mean WTF, what motor vehicle or recreation vehicle has two keys. This one was so dumb I could not even respond.

:dontknow:
Being the Devils Advocate, Maybe they meant the key opens the trunk and raises the seat with out removing it from the ignition switch ?
On most bikes you have to take the key out of the ignition and unlock the gas cap.

[Paula(Butch2025)]

This might top that one: "Do the front wheels turn?" I do believe all of them turn (on their axis), or we wouldn't get anywhere, right!?!?!?

Got this one this morning at Starbucks.

"Will that thing run in the water too?"

[Some Guy]

Just the other day someone asked:

"So, is that thing rear wheel drive?"

I told him no, it's 4-wheel drive. You should have seen the look on his face! :shocked:

[bullant12]

The other day while I stopped to get some ice "Does it ride well?"

My answer should have been "No, it rides like :cus:... I just like to torture myself":D

Fella pulled up next to me at a light and looked at the right wheel and asked

"Does it have one on the other side?" :yikes:
He pulled forward so he could see it and said "Oh!" nojoke

[SpyderAnn01]

I had a guy say to me last week "What's that a car?" Then he wanted to know if it was made in America. I told him Canada. He went into the store and came out and saw another guy looking at the Spyder. Suddenly he was an expert he tells the other guy "Hey that things made in Canada"

While we were on a ride one day, we stopped at this little diner. They have the best homemade pies. But any way when we were ready to go, this hay seeder came out and looked at the spyder. He had a john deere hat and bib overhales on.While looking at it, he made the comment(did you buy that at SEARS). I said no. Then he asked me, how much did you pay for it. Then he answered his on question.I bet you paid about $5000.00 for it. I said no. Just a couple dollars more. He was so surprised. Then he said(CAN I SIT ON IT).
I said no. That this is not a carnival ride.

My wife's spyder has 3 keys. Will still have 2 when I get around to changing the givi locks. Would be cool to have only one.

[Questions]

Man, alot of you seem to have "pricky" responses to someone asking questions. If you hate answering questions and hate getting attention why in the world did you even get a spyder?

I know some questions are dumb, but the spyder is so different than most bikes on the road. I can only imagine if I had never ridden a motorcycle before and I saw a spyder pass me what I would think.

Personally I like the attention, I dont mind answering any and all questions including stupid ones.

No reason to give a smart ass response. I truly hope you all dont respond by being a smart ass or "walking away without saying anything just shacking my head". I def dont want to be associated as someone who does that, hopefully you guys arent giving all spyders bad names.

I didn't even mind talking to the person that swore that when he was at his Can Am dealer that they showed him a spyder with 3 wheels up front and 1 in the rear.

When someone asks me a [what i think is] dumb question, I just counter balance it with a Stupid answer. Which is very easy for me.

I think that the questions that seem thoughtless are actually just an awkward attempt to initiate conversation. I know that there aren't but about 6 people on thw planet who are capable of asking a question any dumber than some of my beauties over the years...:opps:

[Questions]

i was talking to someone about the :spyder2: and told the guy it had a truck to keep stuff in. someone else came up and was looking at the rear tire area and said i dont see a truck. is it hidden? then he asked how many people can ride on that? i said well so far, me, a girl, and depends how small they are i might be able to fit 2 babies in the truck compartment. :roflblack:

[Dub-D]

So I'm sitting with some friends, all of them ride sport bikes, and an older lady walks by with her dog. She stops and comments on how cool the Spyder looks. Then finishes it with, and it even comes with training wheels! I hung my head low knowing the barrage of laughter and jokes that was to follow. She tried to clean it up but I told her it was too late and told her to have a nice day. I still haven't heard the end of that one.

I'm getting more and more used to the comments and maybe even more patient with the ones who just want to spend time looking it over and feel they have to say something, even if they sound dumb to us.

I was lost in Lawrenceville last week and asked directions from a lady who told me the shortest route to get where I was going was to take the interstate entrance just a block up the street. "But, I guess you can't take those things on the interstate", she said.

Another man at the post office asked me, 'did it originally come with four wheels?'.

Had a guy walking down the street in Boston come up and check spyder out. He said "that has a rubber chain". Lol

That just reminded me of an incident that happened during bike week in Myrtle Beach. My wife and I followed some Harley riding friends to this bar where you ride through it to get to the parking lot. There was a guy there on a mic giving colorful commentary as the bikes rolled through. He saw ours and yelled "What in the world are those things? Did you all come here from outer space?". :roflblack: Thanks for bringing back that memory.

I was loading some groceries in the "Frunk" today when the guy collecting the shopping carts looked in the "Frunk" and asked me if it was a rear engine model. I told him no the engine was in the middle. He looked at me with this real dear in the headlights look and said "Your Kidding Me":roflblack:

[Toxziq]

Dumbest I've heard was after coming out of a movie theater where I was parked up on the curb side, I got my helmet out of the trunk, put it on, saddled up and started the engine... then a teenage boy, probably 15ish, says "Excuse me, Sir? Is this yours?"

I was like, "No, I just jumped the guy and stole his key, figured why not. Seriously kid, why do you think I have the key and started it?"

He then asked how much it cost and I asked how much he thought it cost. He said 50K. I said, nope, like 25K to which he replies, "Wow, you are rich too!?"

Yeah, we're in great hands with kids like that being the future of the country :-)

[Heliplt]

I got a few good ones yesterday:

1 Can it go on the freeway?

2 Is it hard to steer? I said it depends on how strong you are.

3 is it as much as a regular bike? I asked what you consider a regular bike, he said a Ninja

[chillicpl]

I overheard a 14ish year old boy telling his mom how cool the spyder looked, she told him, you can't have one you'd fall off!

[Machinegunner]

On the way to Surgis at a filling station a person asked how I liked the Spyder. I said I did but in this hot weather the air cond. doesn't work! He said WOW they even have air cond. At a Harley shop the parts girl asked the clothes girl if the machine in the parking lot was a snowmobile, I said no it is a personal water craft amd she said WOW! did you put the wheels on yourself?

[Schnauzer]

Too funny how folks loose track of their mind...I'm from Texas, {don't hold it against me}. I've been ask all sort of questions just like most of the ones I've read.. I've decided to take it a bit farther and elaborate on how versatile the :spyder2: is. Quote"Man that looks like a snowmobile with tires. Response..and I quote" It does, and believe it or not, the guys up north place small ski's on the front tires in the winter, and when it is really bad the have something similar to snowshoes that wrap the back tire. Reply, and I quote "Man that is awesome".. Geez I love my family!!!:roflblack:

This is my most common one as well. My response---Nope. 37000 miles in 21 months, I don't like it at all.....I love it.

[Bootie]

This one is a little off-line but it is still kind of interesting. It happened 2 year ago as I was traversing northern Idaho on my way to Washington.
I had stopped to fill up and go to the men's room. When I cam out a guy was giving the Spyder a close look. Following is the conversation that
ensued.
Him: I want to shake your hand.
Me: Why?
Him: I appreciate that you fought and were wounded in Viet Nam.
Me: I was never in Viet Nam and, for that matter, never in the Service.
That comment went in one ear and out the other and he went on to say...
Him: Well I knew you must have been wounded in Viet Nam because you RIDE A TRIKE.
I just shook his hand and took off.
Boy, Idaho has some strange ones. No wonder Ted Kazynski lived there.

[CMA Cowboy]

I've had several of these mentioned also to include the deputy sheriff ask how fast does it go. My reply...gets to the speed limit pretty darn quick.

[ThreeWheels]

Most of the time, I find that people ask silly questions about the Spyder as a way of trying to start a conversation.

As a good ambassador, I simply respond as best as I can.

If they ask a question like "Is that thing electric" I will merely say that no, this one runs on gas, but there is a hybrid version in the works.

If you make fun of people because they don't understand the details of the bike, you might be mistaken for those 1% riders who feel superior to all the others strictly based on the brand of motorcycle they ride.

i agree 100%. that is a very good point,and a great way to handle the questions:thumbup:

[Heliplt]

I don’t know if this one has been posted yet but it is a first for me.

At the gas station as I’m filling up with gas, the guy on the other side of the pump asks me if that thing is electric.
I said I don’t think I would be at the gas station if it was electric?

I all ways get gee that looks like one of those snow bikes but with out the ski's can you ride in in the snow:hun: had a guy ask me the other day if I ride it in the winter. I told him " yeah, I strap ski's on the front and stud the back wheel and off I go" he said Oh that's a great idea I have to get me one..I bet if I would have told him the sky was falling he would've looked up for a bit to figure it out.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

On my Maiden voyage from Utah into Texas. One morning an old gent meanders over to me as I am mounting my :spyder2: after a grain stop and asks "200!! Does it really do 200?"

I respond "Hold On Fast" then I twisted the throttle to about 6,000 RPM and let go of the clutch leaving about 50' of :ani29: pooh behind! I am sure his jaw was on the ground!

[Al Bragg]

While gasing up one day, a group of surfer dudes pulled in to the pumps next to me. They all got out and came over to check out my :spyder2:. One asks the normal questions, what is that, is it street legal, is it fast, how much?, ect, ect... Then one of the other boys says, that would be so cool to have, but there is no place to put my surf board. To which I said, not now, but you could have a rack made that goes on the trailer hitch.

He is sold, said he will get one as soon as he gets a job and has money. So i'm guessing not for awhile.:popcorn:

[Topshotta]

While pumping gas at about 6am, a guy walk over from his pump and ask, how do you like this thing. I nicely replied.
his next question: Was this a design flaw, cause the 2 wheels are in the front and not the back. My response this time was dude it is to :cus: early for the bull poopie questions and I rode off.

At Spyderfest (800 spyders came) this year we were stopped at gas station. Typical comments like "what is it". Then the statement that took me to my knees. "I think they're getting more popular cause I've been seeing a lot of them things around here lately!"

I don't particularly like the attention. I am not paid by BRP to shill their products and could care less what other folks think of my Spyder. I am not an "Ambassador" or sales rep for them. Course, I don't wave at other bikers either so I must be a crabby old b*****d.

I've got a SpyderFest story too!
While getting some fuel on Saturday, a younger fella walked over and asked what all of these "Strange-looking bikes" were doing here.
I simply responded,
"The Mother ship has landed!"72542

Yeah, you must be:clap:

Most of the dumb statement people are aliens from the planet denseatiera. They got left here when their spaceship landed here by miss steak. Now they live here and vote as liberals. :banghead::banghead:

What the hell are [/QUOTE]

"overhales". Are a modified version of bib overalls!!!

most commonly worn by farmers and old farts! Predominantly considered as dress up clothes in the Central States of the USA when clean and worn with a white dress shirt .....

I don’t know if this one has been posted yet but it is a first for me.

At the gas station as I’m filling up with gas, the guy on the other side of the pump asks me if that thing is electric.
I said I don’t think I would be at the gas station if it was electric?

Close, Had the same question at a gas station, I told him Yes it is, But the clock runs on gas.....

I hear you on that one..... Often I have to stop and try to understand what they really mean to say!! I am not perfect by any means... but still I do try to proof read before sending. Hoping what is in my mind matches what I have printed.

On the other hand ... it is a proven fact that you can misspell many words in a sentence and ppl still understand what is said if the first letter and last letter of each word is correct.

Nuw were we go fum hire?

[mustangbob]

is that a 'rice burner'? no , it runs on maple syrup.

[Cruzr Joe]

I don't think it is dumb when people ask if i like it ( the Spyder), it gives me an opportunity to tell them how much fun these things are. Anybody that knows me will tell you i love to talk to people about my fun, magical, futuristic, water toy, snowmobile looking ride.

Yesterday I was at my dealer and two riders (HD and GW) one asked me how fast have you driven my :spyder2:?. I told him I was clock at 120 on my way here by the highway patrol. He was stunned.:roflblack: He didn't even asked me if I'm serious.:roflblack::roflblack:

:agree: I'm about the worst typist ever! :opps: And I don't see all that well either! :gaah:) But at least I try and proofread what I've layed out on the screen.
I know that I'm pretty much an idiot; I just don't want to have to prove it to everybody else! :roflblack: :joke:

Same here, or is it hear??:rolleyes: ''Anyway'' that still doesn't make us bad people...:dontknow:
I know it doesn't make us anal....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[billybovine]

I am a terrible speller and I tend to drop words when I type. Spelling is handled well by spell check but the dropping of words is a real issue because I will not spot it when I proofread. So this should make me tolerant of other folks spelling and grammar errors and for the most part I am. There is one thing that get me everytime and I don't know why is the using the word break instead of brake.

[Bob Denman]

It actually should be all about the message; not just how it's wrapped up so nice and neat anyway! :thumbup:

:dontknow:
Being the Devils Advocate, Maybe they meant the key opens the trunk and raises the seat with out removing it from the ignition switch ?
On most bikes you have to take the key out of the ignition and unlock the gas cap.

That may be what they were thinking.

[SpyderDen]

Yesterday at a fuel stop.
"Is that a three wheeler?"
My response......" Ummm, lets see, 1,2,3......yup it sure is"

[StanProff]

Got this one this morning at Starbucks.

"Will that thing run in the water too?"

Of course that's what SpyderDoo's do. :yes:

Yesterday - Can you ride it in the Dunes??

[Bob Denman]

Of course you can.... unsuccessfully! :roflblack:

[Pirate looks at --]

Ok this weekend we were off for a ryde on the Sacramento River Delta. We stopped at a roadside cafe for a cold drink with the Spyder parked right across the street and in clear view. We were parked right at an intersection. So two guys riding Harley's pulled up to the stop sign. One Harley rider pointed toward our Spyder, the other rider looked and then did a double take, and in words loud enough to hear from where we were shouted,"what the hell is that!" I thought I was going to die laughing. Mr girlfriend and I could not stop laughing. As they say, out of the moths of babes.

[Well Hell]

The wife and I were coming out of a resturant and there was a young boy and his dad standing there looking at our RT-S. The dad asked a few questions and the the boy asked me how I made it transform? I laughed a little and then started it up and turned all the lights on and he freaked out! He thought that was the greatest thing. anyway kinda made my day as we rode of on our transformer.:clap:

Yesterday - Can you ride it in the Dunes??

You can do just about anything . . . once! :roflblack:

[333Club]

I got asked this question from a friend. I think she knew how stupid the question was as soon as she finished asking it. I told her on the side walk !!:)
