The ignorance of some people…

I've got to admit...

She looks MUCH better in them; than I do!

My response is always:

"I'd be really insulted if I cared about what you think"

I was the very proud owner of an early-numbered '08, then traded it up for a 2011 RT Limited, which I tricked out with every accessory in the Spyder catalog (as well as a rear chrome wheel components assembly). Had about $40K in my white RT Limited. Loved it, loved it, loved it. But then one day about 11 months ago I visited a local Harley dealer to buy some saddle polish for my beloved Spyder. And I saw a 2015 Tri Glide Ultra on the showroom floor. Oops, it was love at first sight. I traded in my RT Limited right then and there, got killed on the trade-in, but rode out with my new Mysterious Red Harley Tri Glide. Hey, it's only money. And it's been a Harley honeymoon ever since.

Okay, before you SpyderLovers start wailing on me about my disloyalty, etc, do a site search, either here or on one of the trike blogs. A very wise old veteran triker, who had owned both machines, had this to say about the Spyder and the Harley Tri Glide:

"Each of them are like girlfriends. You love them both to death, but each one is a lot different from the other. Which makes each romance even more fun. Just make sure they don't meet up with one another."

Ride safe, brothers and sisters. And have a Happy New Year!

Does that mean one likes it with the lights on, and the other with the lights off?

My F3-S is like my girlfriend and only girlfriend I will have as I am a gay man.

I ran into these guys today...
We talked about bikes, riding, and wished each other "Merry Christmas"

[/QUOT
Usually this time of year, the best come out of people... even these hardened gang members. If you run across them in the summer, you may have to buy their gas and a couple of road sodas to get out alive lol

Lol, HA's are not gang members, but a club.

Actually; once they got over the fact that this nit-wit on a freakish contraption , was daring to speak to them; they turned out to be friendly.

Strange? I have owned two Spyders, ride year around and never had anyone say anything derogatory about my Spyders. Always a question or complement. Are you guys riding side saddle or something to attract all that attention. Thinking back to 1951 when I started riding, owning well over 100+ motorcycles, Sturges since 1967 and you name it, I can't think of anything anyone ever said to me while riding that would even come close to offending me. I think some of you are a little too sensitive or feel guilty being on three wheels instead of two. Something to do with manhood I would suppose. The original poster had two in one day--I don't know?? I still ride with three clubs and have other leaners to ride and never show up on the same thing. No one ever has anything derogatory to say to me.

Stop worrying about what other people do or say and man up. It may be your own sensitivitie or attitude that draws this upon yourself. This subject is always coming up on this site. The Yamaha forum, Hog forum or Bmw forum never have this subject come up. Why here?

Be proud of whatever you are riding and ride your own ride. Seriously, think about it and get on with your life. I love all my Leaners and my Spyders and never think twice about what I am riding. Getting angry with others only hurts yourself.

All I've got to say is I'm glad a guy in Colorado decided he wanted a Harley trike more than his 2014 RTS. He traded it in with only 352 miles on the clock. It still had only 654 miles on it when I bought up in Bremerton, WA on Dec 1 for only $17,999. Nothing like getting a same as new Spyder for about $10k less than MSRP!
