I know this has been brought up before. :bdh: I really really don't mind answering peoples questions about the spyder but when me and my daughter were washing our bikes and a lady comes up and asks " is that like a three wheeler" :chill: Yes i could have given her a correct answer but. See thinking about it makes me out of sorts and i loose track where i was going with this post in the first place. I knew what she ment but!!

:gaah::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:The commercials on T.V. are slowly helping in getting less dumb ??'s It is much better now than last year I can at least fill up with gas without being completely surrounded, with time it is getting better..

Duh? How did you guess it was a three wheeler??:gaah:

 

[sledhead]

I got the opposite today... some guy came up and asked me if I had ever seen a 3 wheeler with the 2 wheels in the back???? I was speechless!!! :dontknow: I didn't even know what to say. That certainly was a 1st for me.

:2thumbs: Those are both pretty good. A lot of people are into the "open mouth--insert foot" mode. I think what happens is they are so overwhelmed that they don't know what to say. And then when they say something--it comes out wrong. It great to have a machine that is a real "mind blower". Most of the time, I try to have fun with it and go with the flow.

On our way home from Spyderfest we met a bunch of weirdos. One guy got so close to me when I was filling up that I bumped into him when I went to hang up the pump. His questions were so ridiculous I couldn't wait to get away from him. He ticked Boots off too by telling her he was sorry that she only had one arm. Then we had a funny encounter with a cop at a gas station in MI. He wanted to know how fast the Spyder would go. I told him that it would go fast enough for him to write me a ticket. He offered to put the radar gun on me.

As others have commented since the commercial I've gotten a lot of people saying that they have seen the commercial but had never seen a Spyder in person.

.....I told him that it would go fast enough for him to write me a ticket. He offered to put the radar gun on me......

:roflblack: How benevolent of him! I suppose he didn't offer any amnesty. :roflblack:

i guess i am lucky, i get people:
blocked me in my driveway as i was trying to back out and asked "where can i buy one of those? i have seen the commercials but don't know where a dealer is"
"you like your ride?"
"what kinda mileage you get?"
and my favorite "my wife says if i get a bike she is gone, but i figure if i get one of those she'll stay" and this one i got while dropping my :f_spider: off yesterday for the 600 mile maint and some mods...

I stilll don't mind. I remember the people that answered my questions before I bought.

Bravo !!

Finally, what in my humble opinion, is the best response I've read to these threads.

I guess, being a safety engineer, I've always felt there is no such thing as a dumb question, only dumb answers.

I believe that most folks mean well; they just don't know how to start an intelligent conversation. :bdh: So until the advertising sinks a bit deeper into the public's conscientiousness we still get to play at being Rock Stars...

At a light a driver pulled up next to me and held up two fingers then held up three fingers and shrugged his shoulders.

I held up four fingers, looked around and shouted - WHERE'D IT GO?

We both laughed and proceeded on.

A lot of people ask because of physical problems. The power steering usually brings a smile. I usually tell them, Don't test drive if don't plan on buying it's that addicting. :lecturef_smilie:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: I tell folks to leave their wallets, checkbooks, credit cards and banker's phone number at home... :roflblack:

Yes i know she wanted info but it came out the wrong way. Its like i want to laugh but the stupidity of the question got me.

Did a charity ride last Saturday. At the event stop there was a guy that followed me everywhere. He had "just one more question" all afternoon, even when we were trying to eat. :gaah:I could not convince him that he didn't test ryde the RT in '08. He even butted in when I was explaining to some other folks about the :spyder2:. However, my wife said she was proud of me because I maintained my patience with him.pps:
