Just 4 Fun: funny compliments you've received about your SPYDER

[Lamonster]

One of my favorites is " Can you lift the hood (trunk) so I can see the motor?" nojoke

 

[FANG]

"Does it really do 200?" And when I say yes; their jaw drops; and I floor it. hyea:

"How much did it cost" .......always asked by a Male.

"Cute".............always commented by a Female

"Do you like it".................Male again.


Yes - these 3 comments... and often!

I know it might be picky but I'm sick of being asked how do you like it, if I didn't like it I won't be riding it!

Yeah, that one gets me, too!

"Do you like it".................Male again.
Pat and Don

+1 or +4 depending on how you look at it....

This is becoming the most asked question I get. I guess maybe more people are seeing them around and are aware of them but they just don't know anyone who owns one. Maybe they've considered buying a Spyder so when they meet an owner, they want to know how much the owner likes it so they can try to gauge how much they would like it. :dontknow:

I had a guy in a pick-up pull beside me at a stoplight and ask if the fenders turned with the wheels. I told him no - they worked independently and to watch when the light changed. I them drove off in a straight line.

I was filling up with gas. Had the seat up and a guy asked if you had to ride with the seat that high - looked uncomfortable. I told him you get use to it.

I get this all the time "Thats cute" I hate that, this is one reason I got the phantom panels and going to get it chromed..I don't want cute!!!!!!!

I know it might be picky but I'm sick of being asked how do you like it, if I didn't like it I won't be riding it!

I hate the comment "that's cute"!! I correct them by saying "no, it's a badass machine."

 

[jeff0110]

I also get the dumb comments from people. The one comment the stands out that was not mentioned yet was "what is that a backwords trike" I think some folks should just keep their dumb comments to themselves.

 

[Twodog185]

Been asked....

How does it ride? my response..like a Miata without doors

Does it really do 200?? I wouldn't, but I got it to tour....smile

Old story...biker said he would never ride one. My girlfriend noted his single staus and reminded him that nobody wanted to ride him either.

Will it pop a wheelie?

 

[Cliff-Co.]

I pulled up, & parked :spyder: along-side a bunch of jokesters on 2 wheels, :yes: & the comment was hey :lecturef_smilie: dude don't forget the kick-stand :dontknow:, SO I say I did that once, & SO I add another wheel to :spyder: , works fine !! :roflblack: , thus end of story hyea:

I haven't had any funny compliments.

The common questions I get are: How much did it cost? How fast does it go? Do you like it? How does it ride? I have people ask if they can take pictures of it. Saw one guy taking movie pictures of my wife and I backing out of a parking space. Quite frankly I'm getting tired of all the attention this thing attracts.
Two things that happened I thought were funny.
One day while at a stop light my wife said the guy next to us in a pickup was pointing and laughing at us (or the Spyder), when he turned right I saw a big harley sticker in his back window. My thoughts: BITE ME!!
A while back while stopped at a road construction area a Police officer pulled up next to me and started asking questions about the Spyder, one of them was how fast you had her up to? My reply was 75 just yesterday on I-94. My thoughts: 98 just today on M-51.

I've had 2 people ask me that too

 

[Some Guy]

And then there are the idiots who take pictures of me ryding with their cell phones WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING! :yikes: :gaah:

I really don't mind the attention, when done safely. Like I always say "if they're looking at me, they will crash into someone else!"

 

[BumbleBee]

I get those same questions. The "backwards trike" irritates me the most. I always tell them my spyder goes 200 :roflblack:. So far not been asked to lift the hood to look at the motor. :roflblack::gaah:

 

[spyryder]

One of my favorites is " Can you lift the hood (trunk) so I can see the motor?" nojoke

I usually say that to them first......hey, wanna see the engine? Then I open the lid and pull out my helmet.:f_spider:

 

[bone crusher]

Whenever I'm in the DC or Baltimore area, someone walking on the street will invariably ask the 0-60mph...while I'm at a light...this has happened numerous times...

I always hold up 4 fingers and they stammer a bit and usually say something like 'man, that's fast'...

I don't know how to do 4.5 with my fingers, so the 4 fingers is good enough!

 

[QuadManiac]

The most common funny comment I've received is "Aren't you riding that thing backwards?" My response - "I haven't figured out how to get it outta reverse yet."

0-60 time and top speed are normal questions, along with "How does it handle?" (Great) and "Does it lean into turns?" (No, that's the little, much slower Piaggio MP3 scooter!)

LMAO!:roflblack::roflblack:

 

[twistedtroll]

Women: How cute, even I could ride that.
Guys: How much?, Where do they sell those?, Who makes that (ignoring the big Can-Am sticker on the side)? What kind of mileage you get?

Harley riders: When do they take off the training wheels?

Truck driver pulled over at a rest area and told me that I had really freaked him out when I passed him a few miles back. He thought I was driving backwards.

The sales guys at work insist on calling it my "pod racer".

Do the front wheels tilt? Can it wheelie? I tell them no and then I get "how about in reverse?" Does it tilt like a motorcycle? But the best one that I like is "How does that handle when the back wheel turns and the front wheels stay straight?" I guess you just have to quote Ron White "You just can't fix stupid.":gaah:
