So I am out enjoying my F3, riding around the Colorado Mountains. I drop back into town for a bite to eat. I come up to a red light and stop. In enters Harley guy. Pulls up very close to me at red light ( oh great, I am thinking). I notice that this is not a real Harley guy, it is a weekend middle age yuppie Harley guy (even worse, I’m thinking). I hear him start laughing really loud. So I look at him (big mistake, I am thinking). He is laughing, shaking his head and pointing at my Sypder and proceeds to tell me how ridiculous the Spyder is and how everyone that rides them looks ridiculous on them.
Now, I know I should have kept my mouth shut. But in my defense, this must have been the longest red light in history and a person can only take so much. So I flip my visor up and say….. wait for it……
“your acting very insecure right now, which leaves me to believe you’ve got a very small dick”
At this point I have 2 things going for me. One, I am a female and two, I know the guy has to put his kick stand down to get off his bike to come after me.
Thankfully, after the guy stares at me in shock for a half a second, the light changes and he guns it and in a roar and a cloud of smoke he was gone.
They seem to come out in droves on the weekends in the summertime around here. During the week and over winter the HD guys seem to be a better group of riders.
We now have His and Hers Spyders!
Current Spyder: White 2015 F3-S SE6
His Spyder: White 2015 F3 SE6
Hard to believe some peoples actions. I think you did right by not upping the ante. You never know where it will go.
We had an incident at a gas station here last week. One guy did not like the way another person was looking at him. He pulled a gun, shot the man in the chest and killed him. For a couple seconds of stupid, he will be spending the rest of his life in jail. He is 23 years old. They had never met before the gas station incident.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
For the most part I find that all types of riders seem to respect one another. The worst you usually find is that your just out right ignored. I don't know what was up this guys butt.
I had it happen to me and my wife we were out riding and 2 guys on their HD's pulled up laughed saying can't you ride a real bike. I don't let people ever get to me so I just laughed and said guess that's 3 of us. No sooner the lights turned green and because of a firs the traffic was you know if you ride 2 wheels the speed you hate you can't stop you can't put your feet up and you're almost walking your bike. After 15 mins of this they looked back at me so I yelled hey your legs getting tired? How's those real bikes working out for ya. They got that stupid look on their faces and never looked again. When traffic cleared they tried taking of as fast as they could. I had to do it, I gased it and screamed pass them with the horn blasting.

I think it was Dennis Miller, who said: "You can't save the World. The best that you can hope for, is to not be standing next to somebody; when they go off."

That's the best post of the day! Maybe the month!!
Tazzel, I have to admit I am very nearly guilty of the same thing. Only reversed. There have been a few times when my wife and I, either 2 up or on our separate Spyders, have pulled up next to an obnoxiously loud Harley and looked over at the poor stoopid idiot as he or she did their best to keep their P.O.S. idling, all the while shaking so violently their hands were just a blur and their belly looked like the wave pool at the water park. And you know they are just waiting for the next piece to fall off their the sorry excuse for a motorcycle. With us on our intercoms we have to keep telling each other not to point and laugh out loud.
