Saw some unfriendly Spyder Riders!

[gman214]

For the last 2-3 weeks I've ran into several nice looking RTs, RSs and even a an ST. Waved, thumbs up or attempted conversation with other Spyder riders and was SNUBBED worse than Harley riders! I'm the type to never meet a stranger no matter color or nationality. It has me not wanting to wave or speak! Don't wanna be that way but wow!!!

waving

Yea you going to have people refusing to wave or speak to you. I just keep on speaking regardless, cause that's the way i am. I have not ran into another Spyder Ryder not speaking yet, but the other brands i have seen it. I just keep riding and smiling. hyea:

Many :f_spider: riders are new to ridding the open road
They do not know about waving to other bike riders
I'm not making excuses just maybe one possible explanation
I'm too far away for you to see me
But I'm waving at you :2thumbs:

Their problem, not yours. Just keeping smiling and waving and enjoy your ride :yes:

Top Ten Reasons Why Spyder Ryders Don't Wave Back
10. They'll NEVER be able to find the horn or turnsignal again, if they move their hand on the grip.
9. They keep a "Death Grip" on the bars in case of the dreaded DPS failure.
8. They were too busy trying to figure out how to change playlists on their I-Pod.
7. They were "Bluetoothing" with their dealer regarding the latest farkle delivery.
6. They couldn't find the "Auto-Wave" Button. (Hey; It's a Limited!)
5. Their passenger was distracting them with some nonsense about "Having to stop for a break"...
4. They were mentally rehearsing the "explanation", that they'll need to give their Spouse for the
last Farkling episode.
3. They were trying to remember the best way to cross Nebraska. (Answer: while asleep, in the back of a van!)
2. They were too terrified to take their eyes off of the display; lest the dreaded "Orange Screen of Death"
make an appearance.
1. You crossed paths while they were setting the cruise control, changing the voice on their GPS, raising
the windshield, and changing the volume on the radio.

Gotta say..!!

Pay it no nevermind...trying to figure it out is not worth it . I wave to them all and the occational motorcycle cop waves back, and thumbs up to fire fighters. Deep down (if done on purpose) they miss out and probably don't wave for the same reasons. If really a good person you know in the end they feel bad....:thumbup:

:agree: I wave because it makes ME feel better... :thumbup:

Bob's list #8 has happened a few times.

What's the most complicated thing on the RTs??? Engine, Chassis, Steering, Stability Control, Anti Lock Brakes, Anti Theft Key Switch????

Nope, the most complicated thing is the I Pod programing or changing settings.


As for waving, most times always. As for conversations, I'll get back to you after this Sundays first mini get together here in West Palm.

Takes two hands, I'll never be able to wave, but I'm sure others will be waving their arms signaling me to hold onto the grips.

No waving, I can understand. Refusing to speak...:yikes::yikes::yikes:? That is downright rude.

:shocked: I get yelled at about that a lot also... :shocked:

 

[ThreeWheels]

You know, this waving thing is conditional.
I generally wave during the week on the way to work or on the way home.
Or maybe on a Saturday going to the boat.
But GEEZ, if you go down the Mohawk Trail on a nice Sunday morning, if you waved at every bike, you'd have your hands off the bars more than on.


Just my opinion, I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone on this forum will let me know about it.

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Everybody is overthinking this simple issue...

I wouldn't want to disappoint you... :thumbup:

 

[Retired 2012]

I understand, I wave a lot too, but remember not everyone that rides a spyder is as nice as us on spyderlovers.com. I look
at it like this, when I rode HD not all HD owners waved back. Maybe there are people who just don't want to socialize. Just enjoy your ride and keep on waving, someone will wave back, eventually.

When I Can

Like to wave to all other riders, even "rough hewn" types. .....When I Can.
Don't do Ipod or phone, but I DO dodge that skunk in the middle of my lane.
