As they reluctantly waved to us, my lovely bride said, "Wow, they sure were riding those Spyders pretty fast in reverse!" :joke:

Haven't got a reply back from him yet but I can say for sure it's him, not the Spyder that's the problem. :![]()

Note in the article the patrolman believes the one of the rider's rear wheels lifted while he attempted to negotiate a turn. This wouldn't happen on the Spyder.

Amen. Well said Lamont.Lamonster said:It was posted and is very sad news. I wouldn't use that to dis the other trikes. I didn't post this as a us against them post, I was just tweaked at how the guy went off about the Spyder as if he was some sort of expert after an hour ride.
My prayers go out the the friends and family of this fellow rider.
Director said:Lamont, your reply to this guy on the GL forum was very diplomatic and thoughtful. How do you answer such outrageous and inaccurate statements other than to say, "Dude, you really don't know what you're talking about!" You did that in a nice way. Well done! :bigthumbsup:
Cheers,
Bruce

I've been married 34, and I never did learn that trick. ;DLamonster said:I've been married for 28 years so I've learned how NOT to say what I think. ;D
Or don't learn the trick, like me. Just have a tolerant wife...that owns a Spyder. Ahhh, life is good!dbnc said:Only 12 years and if I could learn that trick maybe I can get to 28 and then 34... :a20:
MrChet said:Hey Lamont, How fast were you going in your Deal Gap videos that you posted? I heard you squeal the tires once while slowing down. ;D It looked like a fun time riding.
Nice answer, as to not incriminate yourself. :cop:Lamonster said:Much faster than that guy would have liked. ;D :spyder:
