The dumbest comment / question I've heard...

[boborgera]

When someone asks me a [what i think is] dumb question, I just counter balance it with a Stupid answer. Which is very easy for me.
That tends to leave them even more confused:yikes:

Let me add, i only do this when I feel the guy asking is being a wise guy.

I still love it when thye walk by and look at the speedomater and say, "200? Wow..." :roflblack::roflblack:

I've only had one person ask if that was mph, kph or both. I complimented him on his astute powers of observation! :thumbup:

Sometimes I will get asked if it does go that fast and I go "Not sure... usually the cop pulls me over at 120":roflblack:

Man, alot of you seem to have "pricky" responses to someone asking questions. If you hate answering questions and hate getting attention why in the world did you even get a spyder?

I know some questions are dumb, but the spyder is so different than most bikes on the road. I can only imagine if I had never ridden a motorcycle before and I saw a spyder pass me what I would think.

Personally I like the attention, I dont mind answering any and all questions including stupid ones.

No reason to give a smart ass response. I truly hope you all dont respond by being a smart ass or "walking away without saying anything just shacking my head". I def dont want to be associated as someone who does that, hopefully you guys arent giving all spyders bad names.

:agree:Sometimes I have to bite my tongue...:banghead:

Thanks Lucky! :thumbup: Like you; I enjoy speaking with folks about the Spyders and don't mind the attention at all...
I think that the questions that seem thoughtless are actually just an awkward attempt to initiate conversation. I know that there aren't but about 6 people on thw planet who are capable of asking a question any dumber than some of my beauties over the years...pps:

i was talking to someone about the :spyder2: and told the guy it had a truck to keep stuff in. someone else came up and was looking at the rear tire area and said i dont see a truck. is it hidden? then he asked how many people can ride on that? i said well so far, me, a girl, and depends how small they are i might be able to fit 2 babies in the truck compartment. :roflblack:

So I'm sitting with some friends, all of them ride sport bikes, and an older lady walks by with her dog. She stops and comments on how cool the Spyder looks. Then finishes it with, and it even comes with training wheels! I hung my head low knowing the barrage of laughter and jokes that was to follow. She tried to clean it up but I told her it was too late and told her to have a nice day. I still haven't heard the end of that one.

Came out of Walmart one night and opened the trunk to take out my helmet and gloves and place items I had in. A guy walks by and says Engine Problems? Said back to him, you better believe it? Its been Stolen! :yikes:

The guy under a rock

On this overall wearing guy I would quote the Geico Insurance guy (not the geko, the one with the questions): "Have you been living under a rock?!?!" SEARS?!?! REALLY!?!? nojoke:roflblack:

:roflblack: I highly doubt you will ever hear the end of that one.

:roflblack: That was a fun reply Brian, and a question I had never thought about anybody asking as well.

I'm getting more and more used to the comments and maybe even more patient with the ones who just want to spend time looking it over and feel they have to say something, even if they sound dumb to us.

I was lost in Lawrenceville last week and asked directions from a lady who told me the shortest route to get where I was going was to take the interstate entrance just a block up the street. "But, I guess you can't take those things on the interstate", she said.

Another man at the post office asked me, 'did it originally come with four wheels?'.

 

[Firefly]

Had a guy walking down the street in Boston come up and check spyder out. He said "that has a rubber chain". Lol

 

[Smokinspyder]

[richie]

I work for 911. We've had several calls about 3 wheeled ATV's going down the expressway......

 

[Heliplt]

Wow, that’s spacey, as I drove by a gawker in the parking lot.

I had a lady ask me if that thing is a car or a motorcycle.

 

[ThreeFeet]

I still like the one where the owner was filling up at the gas station and somebody came up and said" Wow is that ELECTRIC??" Owner took a minute and said "Yeah it is but the clock runs on gas!!!" ......I am still laughing about it!!!!:roflblack::roflblack::firstplace:
