UNFRIENDLY RYDER

[Desert Spyder]

Has anybody ever encountered any unfriendly ryders yet?

I was coming out of a gas station and cross paths with a white RS driven by an older guy wearing a green reflective vest and the paper plates.

I made a U'y and tried to motion the guy over for a chat when I was in front of him and he just totally ignored me. I followed him for a couple miles and he just totally brushed me off. What gall!

I mean if I looked like a renegade biker I can understand but come on, has anybody ever seen a 1 percenter on a Spyder? They would be shot!

I have never met an unfriendly rider or ryder till now. What a total waste of an investment it is when you share that kind of attitude on the road.

I saw my first Spyder while I was on mine yesterday as we passed each other in opposite directions on US-23 south of Columbus. She gave me a big wave and I gave her a big thumbs up! :2thumbs:

I travel up and down the eastern seaboard and I've never met an unfriendly spyder rider. As a matter of fact I have found when you are riding a spyder everyone wants to talk with you and look over your machine. /Ken krb1945

Sorry to hear: it's unfortunate. I wouldn't read too much in to it. Lots of very friendly people here.

BTW, your Spyderman outfit makes me laugh

Ride safe while fighting crime Spyderman.

:agree: Everyone has a bad day.

But then again, paper plates may be a clue. Maybe he didn't realize all the attention he was going to be getting.:shocked:

He realized he wanted an SM.

On second thought, that could be the guy I told chicks dig reflective green vests?

Never met another Spyder ryder . . . . sad, huh?
But we have met a lot of unfriendly Harley riders. :doorag:

For years I have been telling my friends that I never met a Harley rider I didn't like. This drives them crazy as they crunch their brains trying to think of an example to refute my claim.

Now I tell my friends that I never met a Spyder rider I didn't like. My friends just throw up their hands, convinced that I am the one who is crazy.

I have met thousands of Harley riders, but so far, only a couple of hundred Spyder riders, at the most.

It's hard telling but maybe he was on his way to some place and running late. Maybe he just could't stop. Maybe he got help up and lost time answering questions at the gas station. Don't judge too harshly just yet. You will cross paths again and hopefully, he'll have more time to stop and get to know another spyder rider.

He probably stole it! :yikes:

The only unfreindlies I have met are on Harley's.. Al the crotch rockets dig the Spyder so far...:2thumbs:hyea:

 

[Lamonster]

What were you wearing? :dontknow:
:yikes:

Wait a minute, they don't? :yikes: First the recruiter, now my Spyder brethren? Who can I trust? Guess it doesn't matter; gotta wear one on post.

Glad you have pics of your GS. That was a great wrap you designed for it!! Too cool that it's being put to use by the real Army now!!!

When I first got my two-wheeler I did not know anything about waving to other riders. Maybe he don't know this either. I figured it out after about a week, maybe he will too. :dontknow:

Warning: Potential Hijack...

Yup, that was an unexpected benefit of playing Irish's Scavenger Hunt. Got about 70 pics of the Army Spyder, including the day I sold it and bought my RT-S. :2thumbs: Thanks for the kind words, but the hard work on the design was by Marc St. Louis of Spiralus Designs. I'm still waiting for the good idea fairy to provide a design for the RT...

Today I experienced my first on friendly Spyder rider. I was in my Bentley at a light and a blue RT came along side me and I was excited and opened up the window and said Hi I have a 09 RS SE5 and love the new RT-S, this old guy flipped up his visor and looked all over my car and said with a sarcasms tone you drive a Bentley and you only have a Spyder. This is one time if I could have gotten away with it I would have ran him over, even my God Son only 11 years old understood his tone and was surprise at what he said.
