A never heard before comment on the Spyder

[Pennyrick]

Pulled into the Post office parking lot this morning and was approached by this guy.....

GUY: So I guess that is pretty hard to handle when it gets going fast huh?

ME: No, not really. It is very stable at almost any speed.

GUY: Have you driven fork lifts quite a bit?

ME: Huh?

GUY: Fork lifts. You know, same design as this. Is this thing made by a forklift company?

ME: Now why would you say that?

GUY: Because of the way you steer it. You wouldn't catch me going over 20 miles an hour with that rear wheel steering.

ME: You steer a Spyder with the front wheels.

GUY: You do not... I watched you come in and your rear wheel was doing the steering, just like a fork lift.

ME: Well, stick around and watch me leave... you might learn something.

GUY: You tryin' to be a smartass?

ME: I don't think so. This isn't anything like a forklift.

GUY: Bull****! It's exactly the same design.

ME: Okay, fella. You win. I have to get going now, there are some four by fours I need to lift.

:shocked: It would be funny except this guy is out there breeding...

That conversation was worth a good laugh. Someone asked me if I put skis on front in the winter. I just said could happen and rode off smiling.

Great reply

That's a classic. Some people are so thick skulled they cant see the forest for the trees. You were probably very wise in moving on and not letting him confront you further.

What a bonehead that guy was. Basically calling you a liar rather than believe his own eyes. :sour: :banghead:

No worries...he probably thinks a woman looks like a forklift too!

His gene pool must be pretty shallow.:dontknow:

When I was a kid in high school I was talking to a friend about my snowmobile. A teacher overheard me and we got into an argument because he insisted that snowmobiles were powered by the front skis. I called him an idiot and ended up in the vice principle's office. To this day I have no regrets.

Have had a few interesting comments myself. But this week, at Spyderfest, I'm surrounded by good people that understand what it is to ride a Spyder (many better than I). Has been a great star to the week.

I had someone ask me yesterday if it was rear wheel steering. They might be from the same gene pool.:roflblack:

 

[granpa in Cincy]

I had a fella ask which wheel turns. I told him they all do! :roflblack:

I don't want to steal this thread. But, last year in Ithaca, NY while stopping for gas we (the gf and I and our dog) had an incident with what appeared to be a homeless person. Long story short, he became very agitated with me when I said I was not putting a plow on my spyder. He kept yelling and I tried to ignore him and told my gf to go inside the gas station. I took off my helmet and had it in hand and he gathered his stuff and finally left.

LOL, thank you for the morning laugh, I needed that. I love how people assume they are always right no matter what is directly in front of their eyes. I loved your response!
