"Don't touch my spyder" sticker?

[Spydergrrl]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the group - picked up my RTS SE5 about 3 weeks ago and love it! I think I saw mention on here somewhere that Lamont has stickers that fit over the pull-down warning card.

Can I order/get one of these? I want to make sure that no foolish souls try to jump on my bike, as I've heard has happened to some people. I think I'd have a fit if I came out and found someone on it (I guess if it was a kid I'd try to control myself, but it would be hard! LOL).

Hope to meet up with some of you eventually. I'm in BC, about an hour outside Vancouver. I don't think there's too many Spyders around here yet.

Congrats on the purchase Liz and welcome aboard to another Canuck! And when it comes to your Spyder "kids are fair game"!

I had a guy grab my throttle and rev it while I was talking to him. I almost punched him. I have SE5 and it was still in first, could have thrown me off. I was not a happy camper. And while Im ranting, when did it become ok to ask someone how much they paid for something and put their hands all over your stuff? Im only 29 but I wasnt raised like that, maybe its just having some country courtesy.

 

[Blue Star]

Dont get me started

about people getting on your bike. I have found that a cover is the best defense to keep people off the bike. As for asking me how much I paid for my spyder. I am going to walk away from the computer now, and breathe some.

 

[Sarge707]

I have let people sit on the Spyder if they were talking to me about it with interest and I really don,t mind if they ask me how much I paid because they may be considering a purchase and for Gods Sake its not a secret?:roflblack:

 

[Buttsy]

No sit for sure.............price don't really care when people ask? I wouldn't ask someone myself but I answer no problem.

 

[ArmySpyder]

Well generally it all depends on how someones asking. To me its like asking how much money you make...its none of anybodys business, especially for those you know who have no interest in buying one they are just nosey. I generally tell people the price of em, but not what I specifically paid, but its just the way I was raised. I dont mind for people who are generally interested in it to show it to them, possibly let them sit on it, and discuss them. And Ill let kids sit on it and take pictures, they enjoy it. But we all know how to seperate the ones who are more interested in whats in your pocket rather than the bike itself, sometimes it can be a little uncomfortable.

Sitting on someone's bike without permission takes a lot of gall and is rude, so a somewhat rude response is justified. I don't mind if someone asks a general "How much do these cost?", but I agree with Armyspyder, a specific "How much did you pay?" while seemingly a subtle difference strikes an entirely different chord.

 

[Camdenlake]

Are these situations common with a spyder? Preatty much all of the above would go down a bad road in my book. I look after and protect my stuff to the best extent possible. I really dont get people. Oh yeah the stupid factor.

Teddy & I would like to say Congrats & Welcome to the SpyderHood

Another poster gave you the link to Lamonts DMWMS stickers. I thought I'd share what Teddy has on his Red Sled, that we got off of Ebay a while back before Lamont came out with his.

Works for us :thumbup:

Also, a :banghead:WARNING:banghead: about children on RT Spyder seats:lecturef_smilie: In the following picture, you will see the results of a cute (guessing) around 7 year old little girl, who's daddy decided to let her stand on the seat of Teds Red Sled. Just enough weight to cause the seat to tear right at the seem & :chill:ROYALLY PISS ME OFF:chill: I saw this happen out of the window of where I have Physical Therapy & didn't worry too much about it at the time, til I got out to the byke & saw the tear with a really small shoe print left behind
:gaah:

:bowdown:Thankfully, we just got the seat replaced under Warranty:bowdown:
Anyways, :congrats: & :welcome:
:yes:ENJOY THE RYDE:yes:

 

[JCSMOKE]

Damn Dave, the father and child would both need therapy if that happened to me. How are you holding up?

 

[kevorama]

I have Lamont's Spyder sticker in my 'pull down card' and I also have his IPS key ( and brackets, road pegs etc.)... I digress. Notice how long it takes to get gas now? Everyone is interested in these things. I get the 'how much' question all the time. I just tell them that they aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for and direct them to the closest dealer if they want more info.

 

[Arr MiHardies]

I just say "13 to 30 depending on model, options and dealer"

I will let people I know sit on the bike if they ask first. What gets me is when a stranger starts off the first question with how much? If the person is interested in the bike I will tell them.

 

[Bob Denman]

The whole "How much do they cost?" conversation may simply be the nervous result of wantting to start a conversation; but not knowing how...
I just tell folks that, "It's not how much I've got in it, what how much I get OUT of it that's important!" :thumbup:
Touching the bike without permission is just plain rude, and revving the throttle on a running bike is just about as stupid a stunt as I've heard of in recent times... :gaah: THAT one would have become an entirely different type of discussion!

But if somebody is inquisitive and polite I'll answer just about anything that they throw at me! :thumbup:

When asked about $ I always give a range and explain the two models and various packages. Never mention how good/bad a negotiator I was. :dontknow:
