Got my first Spyder-hater
http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/a...d=114644&stc=1
Well, maybe not hater, but definitely a "I don't trust that fandangle gizmo thingy" attitude.
So far, I get people who either admire it or are curious. But last night, this guy pulled up behind me (rather abruptly) in a parking lot. He looked like the Angry Orchard guy. The first thing he said was, "That thing looks awkward". I just replied, "Its a lot of fun". He then said, "I've been riding bikes for forty years, and that thing looks awkward". I then said, "I rode a sport bike for six years, it took about two weeks to get used to it". He still had the angry orchard guy look on his face. But somehow I did peak his interest. His face relaxed some and he said, "How fast it is?". I said, "Zero to sixty in five seconds". He then gave me a reluctant look of approval and just drove off. I know if he rode one, he would like it. And he knows it to. But he doesn't want to like it.
Been There, Have a Closet Full of T Shirts
No one gets to this point in their life hating people, places or things without having support from other haters. Can Am produces other products that are desired by the worlds population. I've seen it as I have a Harley and two Can Am's, and while setting at Deals Gap on the F3 I was surround by other make drivers asking questions, at time like the first time I stopped on the RTS at a gas station outside Nashville. It took thirty minute to put fuel in the scooter because of others with questions. Haters are a part of everyday life, my suggestion is not to engage them unless you are prepared to defend not only your sanity but your personality. Don't let them sap your energy and your decisions. Ignore the ID10TS, ride on.:thumbup:
The only hate I've gotten was from a guy in a minivan
He screamed, "Get a real motorcycle" at me. I just laughed. I doubt he even has a bike. I can understand how a minivan might be frustrating.
