The dumbest Spyder question yet.
My wife and I were leaving Wal-mart today when a woman started asking me questions about the Spyder. And then all of a sudden there it was, that one stupid question that just leaves you thinking... What the hell? "Is that thing legal to drive on the road?" No, I trailered it up here to drive around the Wal-mart parking lot... here's your sign.

I get that question too. Once I was at a rest stop on the Interstate when a person ask me if the Spyder was street legal. I wonder if that person thought maybe I flew in like a bird. I do have a license plate on the rear.

the best one I have had is after telling me that it was great I was going green and I asked what he was talkin about he said "because you are riding one of those hybrids, where do you plug it in?"

I have also been ask many time about it being legal but the the best one so far is can you do a wheelie and another one I get is can you do a endo.

Yup, I've been asked the street legal question before too. I get asked the wheelie question a lot. I look at them with a very straight face and tell them, only in reverse. Then I really get the looks.
With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.

another dumbest questioin
Had a lady ask me the other day if the front wheels turned!
Started to say no, when I need to turn a corner I have to stop - get off - lift the back end up - point the Spyder in the direction I want to go then get on and go.
But I didn't...

Had the police pull me over one time to see if the spyder was street legal,I told him yes but he had to check for himself.

I have had this question and what they meant was - does the Spyder turn with the rear wheel like a forklift truck. I said "no because the turning arc would be too large". This seemed to make sense to them.

I get asked if I'm going to put the skis back on in the winter...
One guy actually asked me if it could get up to 35 miles per hour. I told him the speedometer goes to 200 and he looked shocked, shook his head and replied "that's too fast".
A cop asked me how fast I had ridden it. I told him, in my best law abiding manner, 70. He smiled and said "good answer", so I said "well, I was in a residential area". Good thing he had a good sense of humor!
Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

The first summer we had the spyder, I was pulling in our driveway and a state police car stopped behind me. I got off the bike and asked him if he was following me and he said "Nope, I was following that." We chatted a while about the spyder.

I doubt he would notice as long as it had his sticker on it!
