The ignorance of some people…
…still surprises me.
Yesterday’s temperature got up to 70 degrees so I decided to take my last ride before storing the bike away for winter.
I decided to go to BestBuy in Bowie, MD roughly 45 minutes from my house. While parking the bike some idiot rode past and shouted, “GET A REAL BIKE!”
Wait a minute, I have another one. While still in Bowie but at a traffic light, a guy drove up next to me and said, “you take the fun out of riding”. I told him, “obviously you never rode and CanAM”.
Like I said, IDIOT’s
-
the key words are " they drove by and screamed it" your response should always be " nice CAR!!!!!"
dont let them bother you because you are riding something

Self
People that attempt to put others down, do so because that's the only way to artificially raise themselves from their low sense of self.
Just saying.
-
When people do that to us I just point at my helmet/ears and shake my head, signaling I can't hear them. They move on.

what happen to the bumper sticker: 'my other ride is your wife'.

good chuckle
Spit a little coffe on my key board when I laughed at this.
Thanks for a good start to my day.
Most of the commments is older riders coming up to ask questions. Seems they are very aware of the 3 wheel benifits vs. giving up riding because of age issues.
One younger Harley rider said his biggest complaint is he can't do donuts on a Can-am spyder???
I asked if he does them on his Harley now?? I offered him $100 per donut in the parking lot with no limit. He declined saying he had drank too much.

I had one a couple weeks ago in Las Vegas. I was stopped in a turning lane at a red light and a guy stops next to me and says "Why not just drive a car?" IDIOT!

Pointing a finger at the ear spot on a helmet and a shake of the head is the best answer.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Yep. Like you say, it's not so much ignorance as it is a bad case of low self esteem.

Guy from GA got out of his car at a traffic light
While we were riding this past weekend, we were stopped at a red light and the guy in a minivan from GA in front of us jumps out of his vehicle and runs back to say "Nice looking bike! I love the way that thing looks. What is it and how much does it cost?" I by far get more people interested in the Spyder than I do the idiots mentioned, the idiots, I just ignore. I still wave at every biker I pass, I don't care if they wave back or not. I'm enjoying myself and love the extra security I feel on the Spyder.

I too am an X Harley Rider and have yet to get a negative comment about my Spyder but lots of good comments. Have been riding the Spyder since 2012, am
77 so chose it or quit riding but if I knew how much fun they were should have got a spyder years earlier.

Not had one negative comment yet, but due to being so excited and having so much fun with my F3, a negative comment would just go straight over my head.

When someone says "Get a real bike" as they drive their car, it means they either do not have a bike to ride, or its a garage queen.
I just tell them I don't submit to peer pressure and chose to be different.
