I have no issue with answering questions, its when I come out and some idiot is sitting on the thing.

Have had this twice, I politely asked the gentleman to "hop off". His mate decided to jump on and with it my diplomacy store was empty. It seems one nationality in particular seems to be unable to resist.

Mind you have had some ladies well out of my league ask questions - happy to oblige there of course

I'm pretty sure I'd have a short circuit if I came out and some rando was on my bike. Maybe the military stickers keep them away, maybe people have better sense here in Texas but....

No. Just no.

The answer to your question, "Is it possible to be out and about and not have people randomly stop and ask questions about the bikes?", is YES, if you don't stop.

No. Just no.

That give me an idea: Put an NRA sticker in a prominent location where all can see it and maybe one of those thin blue line American flags. The lefties here will either avoid it........or set it on fire. Come to think of it, that's not so good an idea.

Got this from Bob:

On the PULL out tab in the dash ( which I leave out and in plane view---------

" Is there life after death??? Touch this Spyder and find out!!! Done in red on a yellow background.

Today a pleasant 82 year old gentleman was just standing outside looking at my bike when I came out with pizzas. He was upset he had to sell his Goldwing because he could no longer get on it due to his age and was VERY interested in the Can Am. We talked for almost 20 minutes before I remembered the pizza sitting on my back seat getting cold.

That is this 82 year old's personal story. I had the best motorcycle I ever owned in 67 years of riding and it had a lot of "me" in it. And yet, I have no regrets because my F3L keeps my in the wind in a way that accommodates my 82 year old body and my youthful mind.

I know how to limit the number of questions about your Spyder. Ride with Slingshots in your group!

OK I have to ask, you take a pizza home on your back seat? Details please opcorn:

Tilt the back rest on my seat forward, wrap the pizzas with webbing down around the pizzas to the passenger floorboards and ride up closer to where the gas tank should be. When I get the trunk rack, it'll be easier.

I go to the pizza place, eat the pizza, and then ride home with the pizza inside of me. Easy to haul like that.......................
