I usually get looks from most, a few will ask how it handles compared to a bike. In my short time of owning a spyder had one person pull up to me at a light and asked if it was a snowmobile, I looked at him and asked him if he was semi retarted, do you see any snow on the ground.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Do People Think Our Spyders Are Scooters Or Something?!?!

I've gotten a lot of comments ranging from "nice tricycle", to "that looks real comfortable", to "my son thinks that's the coolest thing he ever saw"
I always smile politely and say thanks.

The only negative comments I've had were from my brother who is a HD diehard.....and he'd make fun of me for putting my socks on before my pants so that shows how much it bothers me

The comment I seem to get most often from other women is, "Now, I could ride that!" I always agree, that, yes, they certainly could. But I get a fair number of questions from (primarily older) 2-wheel riders, particularly men. I get the feeling that they are comfortable asking an older (64) year old woman (riding alone) about making the switch to three wheels, and how a Spyder compares.
Then there are the other regular questions: how fast, how much, and do you like it?

People always look at a 3 wheel motorcycle and say they could ride it. Sure they could! They could ride ride a horse too, if they wasn't afraid they would get thrown off and break some bones. They could ride the three wheel trike, except that it is out in the weather, they would be eating dust at times, they would be exposed to the elements, the cold, the heat, the wind.............. exactly the reasons those who do ride love to ride. Those who do not ride are not telling all of the story. The could ride, but they would rather be comfortable inside an air conditioned vehicle and out of the weather than on a motorcycle. What they should say is they would like to to ride, but they don't want to be exposed to the elements. They would rather be comfortable than have an adventure................

You ride what you wanna ride, and I'll ride what I wanna ride :cheers:

I just say "zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds... that beats most $300k super cars"
After that, they either get quiet and walk away or ask a ton of questions with a smile.
Sometimes I just show them a picture of my Harley and tell them that my Spyder can beat it off the line every time.

My favorite was the person who asked "when are you taking the training wheels off"? I responded with a smile that only got bigger as I rode away while having the time of my life. These bikes are just too much fun and nobody's opinion or comments can ruin the incredible joy I get when riding.....

Had a similar comment "hey the training wheels are in front instead of the back." Since he was driving a car I couldn't resist telling him that he has one more wheel than I do!
