I've got a Spyder and...

[BajaRon]

...it doesn't work. What should I do?

Don't laugh, it's getting ALMOST this bad.

If you have a problem with your Spyder, we're here to help. But you have to give us something to work with!

There, I fell better now. Thank you for listening... :)

[Chupaca]

Glad you fell better Ron. Hope the fall wasn't as painful as seeing those words...!! :roflblack::roflblack:
Have seen several suggest that your year and model be in your signature. This would help some..!!

EEEEWWWWW that's gross. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

Guacamole?? :shocked: How do you know when you're done wiping it up?? :yikes: :roflblack: :barf:

[SNOOPY]

This happens all the time on car forums too.


...not the guacamole, the general questions. :rolleyes:

[Bob Denman]

I would hesitate to call them, "dumb"...
It's just that the person asking the question may have either:
not given enough information to help find a solution
not taken the time to read their manual
or...
not thought to take a quick look around to see if the answer is already in here somewhere.

But it's better to get the question in ANY form; than to have a friend suffering in silence. :thumbup:

Oops, I didn't mean it that way. Changed it to "general" question.

[Bob Denman]

No need to apologize about it... You may have put it down on the screen; but there's probably more than a couple of hundred folks who were thinking the same thing. :thumbup:

Yep, Like the guy who wanted to know if it was safe to drive his Spyder to the dealer to ask why there's a blue light lit on the dash. I guess he never had used high beams in any vehicle before.:dontknow:

[Bob Denman]

Post #8...
We should all practice a little bit more "kindness" each day... :D

[Flanker]

Aaaaahhhh!!!!!! So, it's not just me. :clap: Well said.

[MidLifeCrisis]

It's not always the person posting, but some of the forum readers too. I use TapaTalk and while I really like it, it doesn't show signatures and some pictures don't come through. So, while the intent is there on the posters part, some of us can conclude missing information. I remember posting a question with pics a while back, then used TapaTalk to find out it was a useless post. Meanwhile, several had asked for more info.

In general, over stated, is better than under and can't rely on signatures or pictures from FaceBook and the like. They don't always show up.

[Bob Denman]

And of course; none of us have any idea as to what you see on your screen...
We can just try and do the best that we can! :thumbup:

[bruiser]

Thanks Ron. Good post.

Now, I have a problem with my Spyder... :roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

Jim,
It's the loose nut just behind the handlebars... :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: :joke:

[NancysToy]

Standard question...


It's broke, what do I do?

Standard answer...


Fix it!

[BajaRon]

I got into computers in the 70's. There were some very funny, true stories of people having trouble with the 'Digital' age.

To Help Desk: 'My pointer is at the far right edge of the screen and my mouse is at the far left edge of the mouse pad. Please help! I will not move anything while I wait for your answer.'

To Help Desk: 'I love my new computer, it is so innovative and has many new features that I really enjoy. One of these is the slide out coffee cup holder. What a great idea! My complaint is that it is so flimsy that it broke after using it only a few times. I would like to get it replaced with a more robust unit if possible.'

Some of the"helpers" also need to read the whole thread before posting too. There's frequently people coming to the rescue trying to diagnose a problem on post #22 when the issue was resolved and acknowledged in post #5:banghead:

[Dan McNally]

The thingy up near the other thingy is loose . . . should I tighten it? If so, what size wrench does it take? :joke:

[Bob Denman]

:gaah: This :cus: piece of :cus: is the biggest mistake that me and my :cus: Wife have ever made! :gaah:
It won't start, doesn't run right, gets lousy gas mileage, is at the dealers more than it is at home, and it was even too :cus: much money to begin with!:gaah:

[Bob Ledford]

One of my old posts said, "be sure to include model, year and mileage," those will be the first questions pop in your mind! Maybe we need to sweet talk Lamont in to including that as a requirement to post or be in the user profile?

Very true.:thumbup: But, sometimes I think it's to get their post count up.

Also the standard answer to all problems is of course to check your oil. :banghead:

[ARtraveler]

Good words of advice concerning a little more information needed sometimes.

IMO: I always tell my students that there is no such thing as a dumb question. It is great to see some of the "pros" handle some of these questions in a respectful and helping way. It was very scarry coming on board as a Newbie and I appreciated how the members answered a lot of my initial questions. IMO: 99% of the responders are patient and helpful.

...it doesn't work. What should I do?

Answer: Change the air in the tires. Old air cause the tires to stick to the pavement, and the nanny thinks this is dangerous. So, instead of allowing you to risk your life, the computerized Spyder nanny just won't let it start. Fresh air in the tires will fix this annoying problem.

For real. nojoke

I just emptied all the air in my tires, but then realized my tires were filled w that high tech solution called "nitrogen", can you tell me where I can buy a couple cans of it to refill my tires?

[billybovine]

No it's not pure Nitrogen it's more high tech than that it's a secret mixture containing only 80% nitrogen.

[ARCTIC]

The bolt on the east side of my bike fell out. Any idea where I can get a new one:roflblack:

[Dan McNally]

I sell a very special pump that will fill your tires with up to 78% nitrogen, every time, guaranteed! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

[gottago]

Guacamole?? :shocked: How do you know when you're done wiping it up?? :yikes: :roflblack: :barf:

Might try blowing your nose and hope for clear, green is a dead giveaway for Guacamole....hehehehe

You can call me old fashioned; but should you be parking, while on the bike?? :opps:??
And whose fault SHOULD it be? :D

[Dan_Ashley]

"Nitrogen" is just a name for an invisible gas. If you want someting better than classic "air," I recommend you invest in a canister of carbon dioxide. Not only will CO2 help the environment, it will cause your tires to run cooler. Also that. Yep.

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: But I thought that C-O2 was causing global warming??? :dontknow: :D

[Dan_Ashley]

:shocked: But I thought that C-O2 was causing global warming??? :dontknow: :D

If you put it INTO your tires, you will be helping to alleviate global warming by taking it out of circulation, so to speak. Al Gore will be proud of you, and will plant a tree.

But if you get a blowout you'll be responsible for the ice cap melting and putting Florida under water.... Wait....That would be bad ... Right?! :dontknow:

[Bob Denman]

"Spaceship Earth" at EPCOT would be afloat in the Caribbean... :yikes:

[Oldmanzues]

Two from the dark ages.
A guy buying a very fancy camers in Viet Nam. The ones that had all kinds of settings to work right. Can I take colored slides with this?
Actual for friend of mine.His Corvir was overheating. Service station refilled the raditor. Car quit overheating and running. I suspect this would work with the old air coled bugs as well.

Then again, Another friend bought one of the very first HD V-rods. He called a couple dealers to see if they stocked anti-freeze for HDs. Let me just say the answer are suitable for post on here.
The products, I bought from Ron, installed easy and work right. Thanks

I just got back from Pa, [hope I didn't go past the range of my foot bracelet], Seen two Splders going the other way. My question is; Both of them had two wheels in front, Is that right:dontknow:

[Bob Denman]

It's no that their wheels are wrong; it's YOUR handlebars that were mounted wrong! :roflblack::joke:

[boborgera]

It's no that their wheels are wrong; it's YOUR handlebars that were mounted wrong! :roflblack::joke:

Yea, But if I turned them around how could I see where I'm going. And that leads to another question, do I really need to see where I'm going..??:ohyea:

[Bob Denman]

It appears as if there's already a lot of drivers out there who drive by the "Braille Method"... :yikes: nojoke
