What people say to Spyder riders

[spydaman60]

the funniest one i got yet was from a little old lady (80 years old or so) coming out of the local a&p grocery store and she looked at me and said, "seen them on commercials. that's one of them red spyders isn't it? sure looks like fun, but i'd never ride on one!" wished i'd had the wifes helmet cause i think she was hitting on me!!!:roflblack::roflblack:

Spot-on with video. Had a lady follow me into the grocery store last week, she caught me by the peaches. Gave me the, "how do you like that..." question which, other than the "what is that..." question is the most common. Funny but I got the "Caaaaannnn-Aaaammmm?" from a neighbor on Sunday.

She caught you by the peaches? Was it painful?:roflblack:

As a new owner I too have had almost all these questions! What a crack up! :roflblack:

A few questions missing:
I was along side a older Harley rider heading up to meet Steve on my first "twisties" ride. He asked me if that thing handled well as he heard it was impossible to steer these things. I told him no issues here!

Another question I got was when I was parked at a store. Guy walked up and said "Doesn't that thing steer with the rear wheel?" :yikes:

I've been ryding a Spyder (RS) for over 2 years now. I have heard all the usual questions, plus some pretty strange remarks. I bought a 2013 RTS and my first trip was to the owner's event in Maggie Valley. I left MV Saturday morning to return home to south Georgia (6 hours). I was ryding alone and really enjoying the trip, but I knew I wanted to get home before dark. Every time I stopped, people would swarm around and ask me questions and make comments. More so than usual. Maybe it was because a woman riding by herself made the machine stand out more. Who knows. I got to the point that I would have to say "I'm sorry but I really need to get back on the road. I have a long trip." This was an observation I wanted to share and this seemed like a good thread to do so. (I wish I had a hundred dollar bill for every time, on this trip, I told someone, "It's a Canam Spyder, built by BRP." I would have several payments in the bank.:yes:

I parked at my hotel tonight and a couple were nearby smoking. The wife had seen the RT the night before and said she would ride that. They talked for 30 minutes. I was only able to leave because THEY were now late to work.

I like to ride both fast at times or take my time. When a fast moving 2 wheeler runs up on me I don't like to hold them up so I pick up the speed. I like to then see the 2 wheeler going 10 - 15 miles over the speed limit keep falling behind once we get into the twisties. Now that I have Rons bar I find that I can take the curves faster then I could on my GS. :yes:

I caught a lady on a spyder at a little place in the middle if no where Illinois, Moonshine, and just started asking her all the questions I could think of. She was very nice and answered them all and then said something like "you should try one." I said "oh that one over there is mine." I thought her husband/boyfriend was going to fall off the back of the bike because he was laughing so hard. He kept saying, "oh he got you." She thought it was funny too.

Last Saturday we were at one of the mountain lodges for lunch when a lady walked by with her husband and two daughters, the lady told her husband "I would ride on one of those" her daughters laughed at her and i told well get on and i will take you for a ride, she got on and her husband and daughters were amazed that she let me ride her around. Nice folks. Anybody that knows me will tell you i never met a stranger and i love to show off the Spyder.
