We're gonna make a sign

[Smylinacha]

for when we park the Spyder and sit and hang out somewhere. It's gonna say:

That says:

It's called a Spyder
No front break
990 Rotax Engine
Redlines at 10K
5 Speed
No it doesn't lean
Give or take - 35 miles per gallon
Yes it goes fast
There is a trunk in the front
Did I say YES it goes fast

We were out riding all day today and ended up at a bike show. Here I was on my Spyder all lined up w/ the Harleys. Tons of Harley Tech talk but the Spyder got lots of attention - I handed out many of my dealer's business cards and got very tired answering the same questions over and over but it's nice to be noticed

. Any way, hubby and I are gonna make a sign that I can put on it so I we won't have to answer things constantly everywhere we go and park.

If the "questioner" starts out by saying.."I ain't never seen one of them things before"...my answers are..

Yeah, 200, but they don't advertise it
It leans, and scary at 180
3 wheel drive
You can get one that steers in the rear
I'm from Wisconsin, conversion kit for a snowmobile

Don't forget the important other features

106 hp
0 - 6-, 4.5 sec
6.5 gallon tank
Yes it require a MC endorsement
Reverse
V-twin, water cooled
ABS, VSS
Silver and yellow (Red this fall)
Base price, $16,000.

We created a PowerPoint sheet with info on it for the windshield for car shows.

I'd attach it, but can't get Photobucket to upload a PowerPoint file.

Won't work, people don't read :read:

Nice idea though

After 15 years in the sign business, I believe this is the ONLY sign
people will read:

ATTENTION
Do Not Read This Sign

Ha!

Look what Spyderman posted back in December...

... I really don't have very much faith in the education system in America because the number 1 & 2 question is who makes it and what is it called when it's plastered across both sides!....

My favorite is still "How many wheels does it have?" :dontknow:

MAN THAT IS THE TRUTH :banghead:

People can't read, I get who makes it all the time and I aint never seen nothing like that before. My favorite is when your at a intersection and they come running out of there cars and want to talk. Sure is an attention graber. Enjoy it, they could be telling you it's the worst thing they ever seen. Neerman

Just one correction. I think you meant to say "No front brake," not "break," and to be completely accurate, it should say "No front brake lever," since the Spyder does in fact have front brakes. :2thumbs:

Cheers,

Oh yes the questions folks have. It seem everyone is getting the same type of questions also.

One that i get alot when parked is wow it has a truck how cool.


Me and my wife like parking it at places and sitting out side and watching people walk by and look .....And then see thier faces when we get up and go get on it....


It is by far the best.............As for a sign ..........BRP should give us all card with information on it and for everyone they sell that we refer they give us money back.......

Had some guy run into the middle of the road from his front yard with a rake in his hand to stop me this weekend. He asked a couple of questions (who makes it, what's it called, yadda, yadda, same stuff...) then commented he'd seen a "scooter" like it just the other day.

My response? With an evil grin I said, "You've NEVER seen a SCOOTER like this one..."

Then I laid about a half-block-long patch of rubber in front of his house.

I could see his jaw hanging open in the rear view...

Regards,

Mark

Went to a vintage bike and car show yesterday. Stopped to pay my admission fee and the lady said if I would park my Spyder in the display area, I could come in for free. Did that and was swamped with gawkers and all the usual questions. Fun though.
