Just wanted to share my excitement...I've had my Spyder, a 2012 RT Limited named Trixie, for about 3 weeks now, and the weather has just started getting a little better up here in the Pittsburgh area. So I'm finally able to get out...and have been looking for excuses to go riding, even if just on a ride around the neighborhood.
So I was out running and errand today at the pharmacy, and an employee came outside just to talk about the bike. Then, on the way home, I was stopped at a light, and a young couple that was out for a walk asked if they could take a pic of the bike, because they'd never seen anything like it. This things comes with it's own papparazzi!!
Does anybody else get this stuff happening when they are out riding? Makes it so much more fun!

Not near like it was in 2008 when you had people taking pictures of you while going down the highway, following you for miles hoping you would stop for gas and having trouble getting out of a parking lot for the crowd gathered waiting for you to come out of the store. It still happens and it's a lot of fun. But seriously, it got somewhat annoying in the beginning.

I get a few complimentary comments from time to time too. It's sometimes nice to hear and I always try to be polite. But there are times when the inner me wants to let loose on an unsuspecting idiot who saunters over to me at the gas station and says "How do you like that machine?" Part of me wants to say "If I didn't like it, I wouldn't own it". Or, "I hate it. Do you want to buy it cheap?"...... But I hold my tongue and and let the curiosity seeker babble away. Geez, I'm getting synical in my old age...... But then all is right in the world when I pull back onto the road and ride. And I always get a big smile on my face..... Jim

Yes this happens a lot. Not as much as at first but still often. Just be polite a smile. I like to ask them where theirs is.

Yes, folks often ask about it when we stop just about anywhere. Even more so about my wife's helmet, which has the M&M's logo in matching yellow.
