I've had the same problem everytime I pull into a gas station, a restaurant, or most any parking lot, someone always has something to say about it, I've never had any negative comments at all. There is something about the uniqueness of the Spyder that just draws looks, and being bright red brings them across the parking lot from a long way off. I've thought of making a recording on my digital recording device, telling the answers to the "usual" questions, ie does it handle like a "regular" motorcycle, what is that? HD, sport bike, cruiser, touring bike, like an Ultra-Classic, or Goldwing, a Boss-Hoss, regular is waaaaay too generic. How comfortable is it? Look at it, the seat is much like a Lazyboy recliner, is it like a Harley, NO, IT is NOT!!! Why red, I want to be seen!! Etc. I am just kidding, I love to talk to folks about it, and people are all curious about it, bikers, little old ladies, kids, people that want to ride, either, again, or for the first time, them I tell that it is much more forgiving than most other bikes, or trikes, either.
