can you believe this question?

[Dan McNally]

Someone else had this question a while back!

So there I am at the petrol station having just filled up and have hung the
nozzle back on the pump......checking the cost and a woman comes over
and says "Oooooh that's really lovely, that is! Is it electric???" :banghead:

Why, yes, it is. I use it to transport gasoline to my car!

Tell them that it's okay; you're licensed to operate a forklift. :roflblack:

Hey, not only am I a licensed forklift operator, but certified to train others :roflblack: :joke:

One the other nite, at a Bike Night, no less. I was standing by the Spyder
A guy asked how much braking distance I needed because the Spyder only had brakes on the rear wheel. I said, you can see the rotors on the front right there and it has the ABS system for stoping. He said, that must be new, hde had never heard of that. I was stunned so said nothing. He walked off. Couple moments later two guys came over in Harley shirts, then one asked, excuse me, did that guy say what we heard about the brakes. I said yes. He turned to the other guy and said, we need to rip the Harley shirt off that guy. But instead we talked a few minutes about the Spyder. They said, they remembered the Spyder fron Rustys ride a couple weeks ago. Nice coments from them.

I beieve that is a first.

There was a expert on here a long time ago. he was going to show us how to change the oil on a Spyder. His first coment was to find a secure spot for the kickstand. I did not go any further.
Off subject, thanks to all the real experts on here who helped so many of us with problems.

I usually get , how much , how fast and does it lean .
But one time , again at a gas station , a guy asked me if you could actually use them on the road ....????......all sorts of answers popped into my mind but I just said yes you can and left it at that

My favorite one was the other day when this guy came over as I was leaving the store and wanted to know if it was articulated.

Is anyone aware of any Spyder ever rolling ? I'm not. Striking objects, or being hit doesn't count.

I tell folks that I'm not going to say it's impossible to roll them, but it is extremely difficult. Then I say it's not a bank robber's bike. When you turn key on it takes 15 seconds for the computer to boot up. I then I tell about how Nanny monitors all three wheels and lean and will throttle back if you're going in a turn too fast.

sometimes it's just nice being asked about the spyder :yes::yes::clap::clap:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: Folks are just trying to figure out a way to start a conversation... I like to "cut them, some slack"... :thumbup:
Once the awkward part is over, they usually figure out something intelligent to ask.

 

[Spidergirl]

the most asked questions i get are,1 DO YOU LIKE IT, AND 2 BEING HOW MUCH WAS IT

I love that question "Do you like it?" No, I drive it because I hate it!!! Duh!!!!

I'll be glad to give them a ride in my sidecar. Right after I lift them off the pavement in a left hand turn, I'll give them a ride on the spyder. That will change minds.:yikes:
