Dear Hondaman, be prepared for a new experience...

Rode my motorcycle today and had 2 people pull out right in front of me.nothing new.do people pull out less on the spyder?I still have 30 days +or- to find out on my own.

...until the Spyders become more common place! So far, in the 7,000+ miles, no one has pulled out in front of my yellow Spyder.:clap:

:sour:However...people have followed me home, to work, to the store, etc. Kind, curious, and well-meaning people have cost me many hours of delays. A crowd of 14 blocked my way for over an hour, allowing their kids to crawl on my bike, making me late to meet with the in-laws. Several cars have pulled over and made me pass or go around them for whatever reason. On the negative side, I have been almost knocked off the road by bad drivers that insist on taking cell phone pictures while driving 80+ miles per hr. Others weaving in and out of lanes to catch up and take a look at my Spyder.

My pet peeve??? You would never, ever go up to a Harley Davidson that did not belong to you or someone you know and touch it! But I catch people touching my Spyder all the time, playing with the clutch, brakes, etc. It's like the general public think that I am some sort of publicity stunt.:banghead:

Not only are they not pulling in front of me (too busy taking a good look) but more people are yielding to me. It's great and hope it doesn't wear off.

I had a woman pull out, looking right at me, so close the ABS kicked in and the horn woke her up. When I pulled up beside her at the next light, she said "sorry, I didn't see you". Wonder if she could see a Freightliner, maybe not, if it was yellow.

Something like these increase frontal visibility.

Haven't had anyone pull out in front of me yet; but a log truck cut me off. He was weaving thru traffic as if he were going to a fire. I wansn'tthe only one he cut off so I don't think it was because I was on the :spyder:he just was a bad driver. Where's a cop when you need one. :2thumbs: Most people just want to look, take a picture with cell phone, yell at you to talk while driving or at a stop light.
Ain't it great too be so popular - where was the :spyder: when I was younger. LOL :yes:

Haven't had anyone pull out in front of me so far. They seem to more when my husband is on his motorcycle.

I have had one or two people pull out in front of me but I think they would have done the same in a car. It was at a 4-way stop and these are just jerks that think they don't have to stop or take their turn. What is nice, quite often if my husband and I are both riding our spyders and he stops first, I will wait my turn but I usually get waved on to go right behind him.

What frustrates me is when I am on my way to work or in a hurry and someone slows way down to see you and they end up holding you up or holding up other traffic with their gawking.

Oh the price of riding such a great machine.

Short Answer NO. Much more visible on my Spyder than on my 2 wheeler. Part of that is frontal area and part is 2 headlights, 2 fog lights and 2 amber fender tip lights. Ryde Safe and Enjoy:thumbup:

I often notice people who would normally pull out, and they have lots of time to do so, but they wait so they can get a closer look. I've also had people in front of me pull over and wait until I pass.
