Does it ever end?

Okay, I thought the guy on the freeway asked a dumb question, but this one beat it hands down. I am at the bank taking off my helmet when a guy walks up to me and asks me "do you like it?" Of course I say "no". I think I need to stop ryding Orbit on nice days like today, but then the :2thumbs: always make it worth it.

 

[SpyderRyder2B]

I get the "do you like" question too. I haven't quite figured out why people ask it. Maybe they are just tongue tied and it comes out wrong! I did have someone ask me how it rides in the snow and does it fishtail. Then I usually get the one I dislike the most - "How much is it?"

Meanwhile - I just enjoy my ryde!:2thumbs:

Ok... not a "stupid" question or comment... but thought it was funny coming from a Harley rider!!

"Nice dude... Those :cus:ers are fast!!"

This was at the parking lot of a Catholic Church this morning on a Men's Spirituality gathering...:shocked::doorag::roflblack:

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...

Out of EVERYTHING i have personally heard and read i think this totally takes the cake.... If you don't mind i'm using it next time someone asks me that question

I got off my Spyder and had a young guy walk up to me and ask if that was my "3 wheeler". I said yes and he then asked if it has 3 wheels :dontknow:

 

[Idaspud]

I was told by the clerk at DMV that she wasn't sure she could give me a license plate because she wasn't sure that it was street legal. Dumb B.

 

[Ga Blue Knight]

I was just leaving the K Mart parking lot with my local Cycle Club (2 wheels) and was at the back of the pack, can't get no respect, and this guy in a car pulls up trying to engage in a conversation. Of course I was distracted and missed the light as my club pulls out. He keeps asking questions which I can't hear and all I can do is just sit there waiting for the light. Well after it turns green I pull out trying to catch up with my club who's waiting for me down the road and this character keeps following and trying to engage me in a conversation at 45 mph! Mr Hindle had to step in with a proper gear selection to drown him out.

 

[dilyles]

I'm always asked "why did you want that thing?" I just tell them that I couldn't remember to put my feet down when I stopped on a 2 wheeler and I kept falling over. :roflblack: Which unfortunatly, did happen, once. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[hotmanali]

So the guys i ride with razz me about messing with people.... Last night we did a good almost 100 miles around LA and at one of our gas station stops a guys asks me as I'm walking to Roxy, "How do you like it?" I just couldn't help it and answered "it's the worst ride ever, total waste of money. DON"T get one!!!" and poor guy looks mortified while another guy walking next to me tells him to ignore me and we all start laughing.

I just can't help it.:roflblack:

Here in the UK any model of Spyder is a total rarity, a people magnet and a crowd puller. I admit that my tolerance to being asked pointless questions is not what it used to be. However, sometimes I've been left with a smile on my face. Like the woman at the pay desk of our local supermarket petrol pump who asked,
"What is that thing?"
"A trike."
"Meaning it's only got three wheels?"
"Yes. At the moment. It has four but one's in for a puncture repair, so I'm filling up while they fix it."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Well I think it looks very nice just the way it is."
I thanked her, smiled and stuffed my plastic back into my wallet as we parted company. She gave me a wave as I rode my four-wheeled trike past her window.
Priceless. :roflblack:

[Questions]

Dumb questions

I am like most of you. I feel like a rock star when ryding my :spyder2:
and actually like the questions/attention it generates. By far the best question and most often question asked "is it fun to ride"?

NO, I hate the thing. Just like to do unfun things once in a while.

 

[SPYDDER]

A mechanic asked.....

It looks like a snowmobile......I told him I am buying the ski and track acc. kit for it. Then he said cool. Can you also get a ski-doo kit? I said sure can! I don't think I want to work with this guy anymore.:roflblack:

 

[Neez]

Lately, when some dumb biker asks me "Does it lean?", I tell him " It did a bit when I first got it, but I did some suspension mods and got rid of most of it." That usually has them scratching their heads.

Dumb question?

Back in '67 I was working for a Harley dealership in Wis. He also happened to sell Ski-Doos. Bombardier came out with a sea-doo shell, so that you could pull your 292cc motor out of your snowmobile and transfer it to the sea-doo for summer use. I can't remember him ever selling one, but then my memory isn't as good as it used too be.

Okay it happened again last Friday. The security guard in the parking lot came up and asked me if I like it. He had a gun so I said yes. Then the other came up and talked to me too. They both told me how they were thinking of buying one, and I think I might have convinced them to make the plunge. Of course I told both of them about S/L so they could learn more.

My favorite dumb question is "Hey is that thing front wheel drive!"

 

[aka1004]

My favorite dumb question is "Hey is that thing front wheel drive!"

Couple of people asked me if it was steered by rear wheel in 2.7 years I had my spyder. :dontknow:
