SHOULD SPYDER OWNERS BE OFFENDED

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

i don't get offended when people tell me my bike looks hot or that i have a great a**, it's just an opportunity to
talk to others who appreciate nice bikes & great a**'s. :yes:

I think your humor is too subtle for many...but some of us can appreciate it.

A couple weeks ago the guy on a road king told me I had one wheel to many. He then went out of his way to take up extra time at the pump in order to hold me up. When he decided to go inside and kill more time, I left for another gas station down the road. :thumbup:

You forgot the girlfriend part. They need riding to.

Most of the time I'll catch people looking at the bike. Then they want to stand and talk about it. It fascinates some folks.

The most common question I get asked is "How fast will it go?". My response is "I don't know but so far it has gone as fast as I've wanted it to." and then we talk about other things.

On the older bikes: I'd just point to the Speedometer that went all the way to 200, and I'd let their imaginations do the rest!

I often encounter the same attitude from the crotch rocket bunch.
Eff 'em.
I have better things to do than let it get to me.

actually i never have had negative comments about my :spyder2: even from hd riders.

 

[Bob Denman]

I usually ask them what they ride...
When they tell me (from inside their car!), that they don't have one; I usually laugh, and say:
"That's what I thought!" :roflblack:

Just wondering if someone comes up to you when you are on your bike and says "that's hot" or "it's beautiful"
should we be offended that they are judging our bike only by its looks not the quality of the build?

Not offended here! It's better than the ignorant comments from guys (mostly) who make fun of it because it has 3 wheels.

In either case, I worry less, ryde more! hyea:hyea:

 

[sandeejs]

Why, thank you

Ha! I've been called both and I thought your post was pretty funny! Does that mean I have to turn in my Libtard/Snowflake card?? :yes:

Damn! I never got either card. Am I being discriminated against?

Oh, and when people come up to me to ask about the Spyder, I tell them about why I like it. Mostly this happens on my longer solo trips. Sometimes people are impressed that I, being of the female persuasion, ride alone. Often its a couple that come up to chat, making every break a few minutes longer. He rode as a kid, and she always wanted to ride. Maybe my few minutes promoting Spyders will win us few more members!

I just tell them (cruiser types) I'll race them for ownership titles. 1/4 mile or twisties. Or, see who can last longest in the saddle. Then they get interested and less arrogant.

I would not be offended, but then again if I really cared what people think, I would have bought a Harley.

Love my Spyder, don't care what anyone thinks.

I like the OP's sense of humor, hopefully people have picked up on it.

Sad part is that there are those snowflakes that literally will get all uppity and offended over anything someone says. They should be rounded up and fenced in somewhere far away so as to not bother the rest of us.

I tell any two wheel rider that I will race them for title - in reverse hyea:
