Too Funny- Spyder 5 Mickey Fisher

[eddieshep999]

Went to a UK Show Americiana (The Heatbeat of the USA in the UK) a couple of weeks ago

You could get a Pre booked discount for Anyone wishing to attend the event as an bike exhibitor but you must arrive on an
Amercian Vehicle - Anyone not on an Amercian vehicle would be asked to pay the full price

I know the Can-AM Spyder is from Canada but because it is so popular in the USA they allowed us to ride in under those circumstances

At the main entry point they were checking to ensure all vehicles entering on discount price were American


The Girl on the Control point asked "IS THAT AMERCIAN"

My Answer "YES I SAID - ITS GOT LEFT HAND DRIVE"

Her reply "THATS OK THEN"And in I went

Harley guy.. You got too many wheels.

Me.. One's a spare.

Went to a HD swap meet once. Parked Spydee and walked around for a while. When I came back, there were parked bikes blocking the front and sides of Spydee and an unusual number of people lolling around the area. Jumped on her, backed up further that necessary, and off I went. All those people now know that the Spyder has reverse. LOL

I have thought it over and your right I have not been asked that one, but I have had the alien comment. The one comment I get often that was not covered is when I open the trunk to put the helmet and jacket away people walk over and ask if I am having trouble.

Actually, somebody on these forums made a simillar comment:

"Engine problems mister?"

owner: "Yes... SOMEONE STOLE IT!!!"

I'm gonna collect all of these new ones for the director's cut edition, haha.

I have one... "Does it ride well?" My answer: "No, it rides like st... I just like to torture myself!"

""Wow, 200mph!, will it really do that?"

Never fails...

"Is it front wheel drive?...I said nope 4 wheel drive!" they just stand there trying to figure it out.

We were in Victoria BC in June and waiting for everyone to get off the ferry and these two Dutch guys come by and they started to give me the "look", you know the one, where you KNOW they were going to wander over. Well my buddy who had never riden with me before had just had 4 solid days of people coming over and talking to me about my Spyder. As these two guy appoached my buddy on his C90 (nice looking bike) said "Hey everyone talks to him about his bike, come talk to me about mine". Dutch guy turns to him and says "Why nothing special about yours!" I felt so bad for him

Remembered some more Harley comments...

Your handlebars are on the wrong end.

That back tire would do an awesome burnout!

'My ol' lady wants one of those. Glad she's not around.' Then he started in on all the usual questions.

Here's another one I use alot.

"Is that yours?"
"No but they left the key in it, see ya!"

Wife's friend told me once. "a bike has two wheels, a trike has three, what you have is a monstrosity". I forgive her because I know her husband, and what she has to put up with.

Keep em coming!

Question for another future vid, what are some of the criticisms you've seen or heard from die-hard Harley types?

I had a great conversation with a die hard HD owner in a parking lot. He walked up to me when I was parking my RS-S. Here's just the parts I can remember:

HD; You like that thing?
Me: Love it!
HD: I'd never buy a bike that wasn't made in America.
Me: It is made in America! (I knew what he meant but technically Canada is a North American country, and I couldn't resist).
HD: Yea well I still hate 'em although I might buy one when I can't hold up my bike nomore.
Me: When would that be?
HD: Probably next year, my knees are goin' quick.
Me: What would your fellow Harley riders say if you got one?
HD: Who the cares about them! They'd bitch if their ice cream was cold.
Me: Well I always thought you guys had some sort of a camaraderie.
HD: Cama-what?
Me: You know, a bond.
HD: Hell no. Half them guys would love one of these, just wouldn't never admit it.
Me: Really?
HD: The trike boys say "Two wheels black and blue, three wheels tried and true".
Me: I never heard that one before. Want to sit on it?
HD: Hell no! Wouldn't be caught dead on that thing.
Me: But you just said...
HD: I said when my knees go! You're dumber than a bag of hammers. (Walks away).

I could really visualize their "Pride" in this conversation. This explains a lot and gives a new perspective when I see other bikers and their condescending attitude. By this, you can see their actions won't always match their thoughts....

Good post...

[bruiser]

"...fueled by other peoples' fear."
That's the one that I haven't heard!

I gotta remember that one. "What kinda mileage do ya get?" Well, it depends on if I'm using 91 octane or peoples fears.

Here's another one I use alot.

"Is that yours?"
"No but they left the key in it, see ya!"

Love it!!!

Extremely amusing Mickey!

[shelbydave]

Lisa and I have watched this, and now jokingly, we say CAAAN-AAAM!
Well, we made a stop at a little store, Lisa stayed out while I went in, and behold there was some guy looking at the spyder when I came out. He asked "How fast does it go?" Lisa moved my helmet, and showed him the speedo, and he almost choked! Then when he was going to head inside, he looked down and what did he say? "CAAAAN-AAAAAM!" It was painful trying to keep a straight face from then on!!!
