The dumbest Spyder question yet.

[SpyderGirl]

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:

Same for me too. Then he said he pulled me over because I didn't look like I was old enough to ride it (I was 28 at the time). I thought I at least looked like I was over 16!! I think he just used it as an excuse to ask me about the Spyder.

 

[SpyderGirl]

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:

:roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack:

 

[rubyredz]

The first summer we had the spyder, I was pulling in our driveway and a state police car stopped behind me. I got off the bike and asked him if he was following me and he said "Nope, I was following that." We chatted a while about the spyder.

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 doubt he would notice as long as it had his sticker on it!:roflblack:

I thought the "S" button on...

the dash was pressed when you wanted to sky soaring... you mean to tell me it isn't... that's why I never pressed it and told the SO never touch that one. :shemademe_smilie:/Ken

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.

This is a question i get a lot also, but that is the best answer i've heard. love it hope you don,t mind if i use it.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::firstplace:

love my:spyder2:

 

[NancysToy]

When Nancy first got her Spyder, a guy came up in a shopping center parking lot, and asked "Why in the world would anyone want to ride something like that? I replied that it was the closest dealer to the mental institution where I was staying.

 

[retread]

Last year, taking a break on a ride with some friends, a woman walked up to me and asked "so, does it have three wheels?" I couldn't answer her till I stopped laughing.

I think she was just hitting on ya.:roflblack:

 

[vtrider]

The one that struck me funny is when this dude asked me if that was a snowmobile converted with wheels! :hun:

 

[SpyderWolf]

I have been asked many of those same questions as well. A few that I always laugh at are "Did you build those yourself?", "Why are the 2 wheels in the front?", "How do you ride it?", and so forth.

However, my all time favorite so far was a lady in front of the bank who asked me if they were meant for children to ride. I told her "Sure, if you don't mind your child doing 130 on the highway." to which she gasped and walked away.

one time this kid asked, "sir, do you know you are on a snowmobile?"

 

[PCBeachBum]

The day I got my Spyder, my 80 year old neighbor, who winters here at his house and summers in Illinois, came weaving across the street after having way to many beers with his friend, who thought it was to far to walk.

Jack looks it over and says okay, Where'd you have it converted? I said converted? He says yea where? I looked at him and he says Sonny?? I've had my share of snowmobles and know one when I see one. How'd you come up with this idea? He looks it over and I said this is the way it's made by and cutting me off says, :yikes: I know who BRP is! I got one in my garage at home and it doesn't have wheels.

He looks it over some more and shaking his head, says I need something stronger than beer :gaah: and weaves his way back across the street, to his house.

:roflblack:

I forgot about that scenario as well. I had someone ask the same thing at Maggie Valley, then another wanted to argue about the pronunciation of Bombardier, as he did not believe the same guy who asked about the conversion was saying it right. He did have the proper french pronunciation, but still couldn't believe it wasn't a conversion kit.

SIR?

one time this kid asked, "sir, do you know you are on a snowmobile?"

When somebody calls me Sir i politely tell them, Don't call me Sir i've worked for a living all my life.hyea:

 

[Recluze]

i was fueling up a couple of years ago in Humbolt County California. (This is ground zero for pot production). I had all of my gear on because it was cold. It always is on the California coast.

A stoner comes up and asks," Dude, are you from outer space?"

I told him I was an illegal alien just waiting for the mother ship to pick me up.

 

[FANG]

While airing up tires on the :spyder2: soon after I purschesed it. A "winner" came up to me and asked what kind of feul does it use "water? I said sure - and pulled over to the gas pumps and filled it up.
He just stood there scratching his head and chewing his tobacco...where's your sign!!!
