• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Does it have a kickstand? That's a good one!

Now you can answer that at least ONE of them does! :roflblack:

Then there was the lady who came up to me at a rest area on the interstate and asked...."Can you drive those things on the highway?"

I was tempted to tell her I flew it in, but didn't have the heart.
LOL That almost made want to name my spYder Area 61
 
For sure

Most of what others posted...but the one I got and still get the most is....Who is the the driver? (I'm the only one on or by :spyder2: with helmet in hand) and the next most frequent is Can we ask how old you are? :yikes::clap::clap: (couple times I couldn't resist said 90 next birthday!!!) :roflblack::roflblack:. Oh yea the other one...you travel alone? answer 95% of the time but never alone...always have God, Smith & Wesson with me!!!:thumbup:

Tell them that you've got the driver locked in the pilot's compartment up front...


...And FAA regulations forbid you from opening up the door!
 
The one for me was when we were riding in the mountains of Utah after the Owners Event two years ago. We had stopped at a rest area and as I was walking back to the Spyder I saw a man taking pictures of it (not uncommon). Once he relished it was mine he came over and asked
" Is that built for driving in the mountains?"
 
Unusual questions

Stopped at service station in Ontario while on a trip to visit friends/family. The man fueling his four wheeler in front of me saw a puddle of water that had been left by a previous fueler and asked if I had air conditioning. Also had a teenager who had just exited from a souped up Camaro asked what my top speed was. I just pointed at the analog speedometer. He said wow and left.
 
Let's see

Most frequent is, "is that fun? how much do they cost!" Most unusual, can you do a wheelie on that? Answer, yes but only in reverse! How does it turn? Well you drive it to the intersection than get off, pick up the rear tire and move it 90 degrees so the front is facing the direction you want to go! Can I take a picture? Yes! Can my son sit not it? No!
 
Any new questions since these were posted?
i really get a kick out of the questions people ask about the Spyder....
 
It's not legal

One guy said " you know it's not a motorcycle, right" ? Then he said " I heard the Ministry of Transport is going to outlaw them because they are so hard to control on the highway " :duh:
 
Pulled under the portico at the motel behind some other bikes

after coming back from dinner, and a guy noticed the air release sound as my wife stepped off the back (RT-S with air compressor/compensation). He said what was that?

Wasn't ready with a quick response but explained that it had an air compensated suspension. Next time I'll say that we're having trouble getting "lil red wagon" potty trained, hehe:roflblack:
 
Does it steer like a trike?

Can you do a wheelie?


What do they classify it?

Who makes it?

What does BRP stand for?
What is the gas mileage?
What is the age group that rides?

How much does it cost?
Here is the latest question: Do you race them? ( car racing.....Daytona 500 races)
