Idiot commenting on my Spyder!

[jwulf74]

My retort would be along the lines of..."I like to be unique. If I wanted to be like everyone else, I would ride a Harley or drive a Mustang... So who is the bigger rebel? Me or you on the Harley?"

After World War 2 Harley missed another market. During the war they produced the XA with horizontally opposed cylinders and a drive shaft. They never brought it to market. Sounds like a BMW or Goldwing, doesn't it? Maybe it ran too smoothly for them.

Might not have leaked enough oil, overheated on hills or was noisy enough for some people either.

Not sure about that but, harley did create this fine looking machine. But, they stopped short of brining it to market. ?

That is a nice looking Ryde for sure.

It's simply not worth engaging such people.. and you never know who's a carrying a gun these days... tons of crazies out there.... many are easy to spot with red ball caps on.... but otherwise it's hard to tell. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Thanks for the funnies Mr. Liberal minded. I have a red hat and proud of it. Though most like minded people here will ignore your left handed insults, I don't. There are sooooo many things wrong with what you said., first your insinuation that everyone that carries is a crazy, second the red caps are crazy. We won your socialist fiends lost get over it.

Put up or shut up.......look at their odometers

Every bike I have owned for the past 30+ years of riding has had people make negative comments from time to time. Even my Harley Ultra Classic had other riders including Harley heads make stupid comments. My mantra for dealing with these type of people is to tell them to put up or shut up. I ask them how many miles per year do they ride. Then I ask them to show me their odometers, LOW miles. My buddies both have Harleys and the best they do are 2000 miles per year but will both bust on me for not buying a real bike......go figure.

Dan,
I've got to admit that I'm just a bit curious also: what's with the Red Hats thing? :dontknow:
I've got Red Hats, and I sure do carry... but I'm much more of a total ass; than I am a Badass! :roflblack:

Here we go " Harley Bashing" again. Not saying this is one but a lot of people make up these kind of stories that just ain't true. I think it is the inner libido fighting with the writers conscience that he may be a lesser man riding anything that is not two wheels. This makes him hyper sensitive to a crusty Harley rider that is probably a really nice guy and just wants to make conversation and gain a friend.

If this is true you should have stopped and taken time to strike up a conversation and joshed around with the guy. Only you allow someone to make you angry. It's not him but your lack of control or your predisposed attitude about people like this that you let get under your skin. Think about it!

I took my Spyder to Sturgis in 2010 when they were still pretty new on the scene and has zero problems. I've ridden all over the US with my group of buds that are all on HD's and have never had a problem.. other than I get most of the attention.
While they're (my HD buds) all pretty sold on staying with 2 wheels, they have all said when they go to 3 wheels they would go with the Spyder. They also respect the power as I've always been able to dust any of them off the line... .

Ride what you like... like what you ride. I could care less what anyone else thinks about my ride.

So far so good.....

Well I rode Harley's for years. Got the Harley tattoo , dog named Harley and my granddaughter is named Harley Lynn. Last bike before my 16 RT-S was a 13 anniversary edition Triglide. Buddy of mine bought a Spyder and I had always wanted to ride one. Rode it and really tried not to like it. Went back home and told my wife you need to ride this thing. Within a mile or 2 she said OMG this thing rides great !!! Three days later we traded for the Spyder. Got a couple thousand miles on it and it's been great so far. Will I stay with the Spyder , only time will tell. What I know right now is it really put the FUN back in riding. Only thing concerns me right now is the lack of dealers like Harley has and also the amount of sensors and things on the Spyder. Read post where people have theirs in the shop more than they ride then the next post someone has nearly 100k with only oil change and regular maintenance. Someday I could go back to Harley but for now we are really enjoying this ride. Like I said we ride Harley for years and don't have anything bad to say about them. Everybody I've rode with past and present are happy and I'm happy so it's all good. Chris .......

I knew you would have to say something cus I know you like your Harley dudes. I don't get a lot of negative comments and when I do it has been exclusively from Harley riders. So I am glad you think they are all just wonderful, charming, just want to be your friend kind of guys but I have not had that experience. I avoid them if I can just so I don't have to hear the crap.

 

[Buckeye Bleau]

I have not had a problem with any of the groups or places that I have been, most especially from bikers or bike owners.

There was one curious issue, when I rode it to my credit union on a sunny morning last year.

I parked the Spyder, removed helmet and started toward the door.
Just as I took a step a very well dressed lady with probably 80 years of experience exited the building and walked toward me.
She said, "Hello, is that your motorcycle? It sure is pretty."
I said, "Well thank you mam, I am happy to hear that you like it."
She kept walking and looked me in the eyes and said, "What a way to waste your money!"
That the last time that I saw her, she got in her car and walked away.
:yikes:pps::roflblack:

Okay: there's two pretty highly inflammatory assumptions right in your paragraph...

So since you say that you "Never Make Assumptions": does this just make you a liar?
Or merely a fool? :dontknow:
