The dumbest Spyder question yet.

[mxz600]

My wife and I were leaving Wal-mart today when a woman started asking me questions about the Spyder. And then all of a sudden there it was, that one stupid question that just leaves you thinking... What the hell? "Is that thing legal to drive on the road?" No, I trailered it up here to drive around the Wal-mart parking lot... here's your sign.

I get that question too. Once I was at a rest stop on the Interstate when a person ask me if the Spyder was street legal. I wonder if that person thought maybe I flew in like a bird. I do have a license plate on the rear.

the best one I have had is after telling me that it was great I was going green and I asked what he was talkin about he said "because you are riding one of those hybrids, where do you plug it in?"

 

[SpyderGirl]

Oh yeah, I've heard that one a gazillion times....

I have also been ask many time about it being legal but the the best one so far is can you do a wheelie and another one I get is can you do a endo.

Yup, I've been asked the street legal question before too. I get asked the wheelie question a lot. I look at them with a very straight face and tell them, only in reverse. Then I really get the looks.

another dumbest questioin

Had a lady ask me the other day if the front wheels turned!

Started to say no, when I need to turn a corner I have to stop - get off - lift the back end up - point the Spyder in the direction I want to go then get on and go.

But I didn't...

 

[SpyderGirl]

Good stuff!! :roflblack:

 

[superfly3]

Had the police pull me over one time to see if the spyder was street legal,I told him yes but he had to check for himself.hyea:

I have had this question and what they meant was - does the Spyder turn with the rear wheel like a forklift truck. I said "no because the turning arc would be too large". This seemed to make sense to them.

I was at the bank and was asked if I rented it? I said no! I bought it. The guy says he's the only one area that rents them and didn't see his sticker on it............Here's your sign!:roflblack:

If I were to rent a :spyder: from this guy and moved his sticker to Big Wheel and took that back to him, Do you think he could tell the difference?:roflblack:

I was asked if it was diesel. Because I had to wait for the glow plugs to heat up when I turned the key on and did not instantly start it up. Funny thing is I was at the gas pump. The diesel pump is one the other side of the station.....Here's your sign!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[hondaman]

I get asked.Did you make that?

 

[boborgera]

While gassing up this guy comes up to me .and ask me if that's an electric scooter:hun: I told him it WAS electric, but the clock runs on gasoline that's why I'm putting gas the tank :yikes:

 

[RShrimp]

I normally just keep my dark faceshield down while at the pump.
Now I know why .......

LOL I got asked by a woman and her BF if it could go off road and how cool it would be to go "mudding" with it.(SMALL town in S.GA.):gaah:

So now I am looking for a 24" lift kit and some Super Swamper tires.:roflblack:

 

[Some Guy]

I get asked if I'm going to put the skis back on in the winter... :yikes:

One guy actually asked me if it could get up to 35 miles per hour. I told him the speedometer goes to 200 and he looked shocked, shook his head and replied "that's too fast".

A cop asked me how fast I had ridden it. I told him, in my best law abiding manner, 70. He smiled and said "good answer", so I said "well, I was in a residential area". nojoke Good thing he had a good sense of humor!
