Unusual Questions You've Been Asked About Your Spyder?

[Bam Bam and Pebbles]

Number 1 question is how much does it cost?

Favorite question (in full Gomer Pyle accent) Does that thing have gears? I said yes, just like a motorcycle. Dude goes, oh 3 down and 2 up? That one was so stupid I almost forgot that it's 1 down and 4 up. Made me hesitate for a second. :hun:

When I bought my first one in November 2007
I got pulled over by Leo 3 times the first day -- Is that legal on the road
Then there were the Asians that asked if it was Suzuki or Kawasaki
The best was when they asked if it was front wheel drive
And the list goes on

I've been asked a couple of times, "That's front wheel drive, isn't it?"

We've all had questions asked about our Spyders, most being repeats but what out of the norm questions/statements have you been asked/told?

Way back when,,,,,, there was a spyder owner who was filling up at the gas station and this character came around the pump and said " WOW is that ELECTRIC??? owner paused for a second and answered " Ahhh Yes it is but the clock runs on gas so have to fill up to keep it going!!!":roflblack::roflblack: or something to that effect. That's as close as I could remember it anyway. Happened probably in 2008 or 9. I laughed so hard over that one that I did remember a lot of it. Haven't had much attention lately tho as there a LOT more of us out there. It used to take about 1/2 to1 hr to fill up due to all the questions and the "wanna closer look at it" folks.

I posted this encounter back in 2013 and it remains my favorite encounter: I was fueling Scoot3r at the local convenience store when a young woman and her boyfriend/husband pulled up to the pump behind me and got out. They both showed a high level of interest in my ryde and came up to look it over. the young women then asked me, "Is that one of those Volkswagen conversions?" I just couldn't stop my mouth-and said, "No it started out as a '34 Ford; I just got carried away with the chopping and channeling." She got a very puzzled frown on her face and her boyfriend/husband stood there shaking his head. I then explained Scoot3r is a CanAm Y Trike designed that way and gave her one of the brochures I carry. As they went back to their pickup she turned to her boyfriend/husband and stated very firmly, "I still think it's a VW."

[Trbayth]

When someone asks me how much it costs my standard answer is "About $18K to $30K depending on the model and accessories."

I've only had one nosy :cus: that insisted on knowing how much I paid for mine.

Questions

How about can my kid sit on it so I can take a picture? I usually say I would rather you not, especially since I put the "Ultimate" seat on it. Cost to much to have some ankle biter scuffing it.:yikes:

 

[motoswami]

odd question

"Does it bark?"

I think people in Utah must be singularly uninquizative. I have had Charlotte 6 months now and have not really been asked anything about her.
