Most people are intrigued by the Spyder and will ask all kinds of questions, Some might seem dumb to you but to them it's just an opening line.:chat: Just smile and explain it to them. Maybe you'll convert some non riders.
Besides it will give you a good laugh at the end of the day.

My wife asked when I brought the Spyder home, " Is it paid for" ??? So I replied to her, "I don't owe anything on it.... you do because I put the loan in your name" !!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: She didn't think I was very funny.

But I thinking she might get the last laugh though, because the other day I seen her with the DMV motorcycle study book. I'm thinking she might be up to no good !!! I better check into this. Is it going to be a two Spyder family or a man without his cool ride ??? :dontknow: She couldn't handle a SM5,... or could she ??? :yikes::yikes::yikes:

My wife thought the same thing. When she found out that the lever distance was adjustable, and that the Spyder has a vacuum clutch assist, she bought a hand exerciser, then promptly went out and bought her manual Spyder. After taking the MSF course on a two-wheeler with a clutch, she handled it like an old pro. Kiss your cool ride goodbye! :roflblack:

:agree: My wife is going thru the same thing... but then she asked me about the DMV test and told her that the MSF written test is a whole lot easier but they will not let her take the riding portion on the :spyder2: and she really is not wanting to ride 2 wheels. So it was either take the harder written test and take the riding portion on the :spyder2: (DMV) or go take the MSF course, take the easier written test but ride 2 wheels (and get the certificate). After considering the options, she is going to take the MSF course in April.:shemademe_smilie:

Didn't mean to insult anybody. got foot in mouth problem and can't spit out the right words. I do get a lot of questions and do answer them with as much good info as I can but this one question REALLY got me off guard. I haven't had to any "dumb" questions. It's like somebody put in the other thread about these kinds of questions. People don't think thru what they are going to ask and get their words all messed up for what ever reason. I usually have a SEVERE case of Anthrax( hoof (in) and mouth disease:joke so i kinda understand the problem with getting questions from people who have NO IDEA what a spyder is and it's a novelty to them. It doesn't FIT in any BOX they want to put it in.:joke:

The questions are always interesting. I look at them as an opportunity to meet new people most everywhere I go. We met one couple in Soldotna AK (western part Kenai Penninsula area) and they asked me several questions about our Spyders. I gave them the video and advertising card that BRP sent me to distribute to others. Two months later, we ran into the same couple at the only restaurant in Chitina, AK (the end of the paved road going east into the bush). It was like meeting old friends. No--they were not driving a new Spyder--just following the fish.

 

[Spyder Cat]

:firstplace: Our favorite 'dumb' question is "does that thing steer from the back?"

Last week at Costco, a guy (whose wife really liked the Spyders) exclaimed, shaking his head "I'll never ride anything that won't let me put my feet down!"

Here's your sign! :duh:

 

[usurp31]

I've been asked "Does it go as fast as a car?". My response was, "How fast does your car go?"

 

[Campverdefela]

While I have gotten all of the previous question mentioned, the one I get the most is "I heard this leans into the corners". I answer, "no but I do"
