Most of the time I'll catch people looking at the bike. Then they want to stand and talk about it. It fascinates some folks.

The most common question I get asked is "How fast will it go?". My response is "I don't know but so far it has gone as fast as I've wanted it to." and then we talk about other things.

On the older bikes: I'd just point to the Speedometer that went all the way to 200, and I'd let their imaginations do the rest!

A couple weeks ago the guy on a road king told me I had one wheel to many. He then went out of his way to take up extra time at the pump in order to hold me up. When he decided to go inside and kill more time, I left for another gas station down the road.

I often encounter the same attitude from the crotch rocket bunch.
Eff 'em.
I have better things to do than let it get to me.

actually i never have had negative comments about my even from hd riders.

I usually ask them what they ride...
When they tell me (from inside their car!), that they don't have one; I usually laugh, and say:
"That's what I thought!"

Just wondering if someone comes up to you when you are on your bike and says "that's hot" or "it's beautiful"
should we be offended that they are judging our bike only by its looks not the quality of the build?

Not offended here! It's better than the ignorant comments from guys (mostly) who make fun of it because it has 3 wheels.

In either case, I worry less, ryde more!

Ha! I've been called both and I thought your post was pretty funny! Does that mean I have to turn in my Libtard/Snowflake card??

Damn! I never got either card. Am I being discriminated against?

Oh, and when people come up to me to ask about the Spyder, I tell them about why I like it. Mostly this happens on my longer solo trips. Sometimes people are impressed that I, being of the female persuasion, ride alone. Often its a couple that come up to chat, making every break a few minutes longer. He rode as a kid, and she always wanted to ride. Maybe my few minutes promoting Spyders will win us few more members!

I just tell them (cruiser types) I'll race them for ownership titles. 1/4 mile or twisties. Or, see who can last longest in the saddle. Then they get interested and less arrogant.

I would not be offended, but then again if I really cared what people think, I would have bought a Harley.

Love my Spyder, don't care what anyone thinks.

I like the OP's sense of humor, hopefully people have picked up on it.

Sad part is that there are those snowflakes that literally will get all uppity and offended over anything someone says. They should be rounded up and fenced in somewhere far away so as to not bother the rest of us.

California would be a great place.........

I tell any two wheel rider that I will race them for title - in reverse

LOL!!!

Most of the comments I get are out of curiosity about the machine. I do occasionally get someone who wants to take a closer look at how the whole thing works and asks questions about quality and how the various systems work. The latter are usually long time riders or gear heads. I have had a few smart a$$ comments, but they usually come from some idiot who just wants to show off for his buddies. I figure their collective IQ's don't add up to much and just look at them as future organ donors as they tear out on their obviously superior machines

[missouriboy]

I am posting it for all the libtards & snowflakes and all others that take offense to everything that is said today.

OH! And here I took your first post seriously... sorry about that! I'm so gullible.

I remember one time when my wife and I were at a dealer that carried snowmobile parts that I needed for maint. work and while we waited, the wife said "look hun, they sell those three- wheeled things!" and I said ,yeh I think they are called "Spyders". Well a salesman must of heard us talking about them and came over and explained the benefits of the three-wheeled design, and I said, yep I can see the reasoning behind those but we ride a Gold Wing now and I really don't see no reason to own one and I guess they would be great for someone that has everything and wants something else to add to their collection or if someone is handicapped I.E. lost a limb, can't balance a two-wheeler, or some other limitation, I could see the reason to buy one and that would be a great reason to have one. Weeeeeeell, three years later I broke my Rt. leg just below the knee in 8 places and a year later, I had major Lt. foot reconstruction. Moral of the story...... I'm still eating my words!!!! And yes, I go to that dealership to have my rear tire(s) mounted and say " I know... I'm not worthy!! Mac
