UK Spyderfest 2018

We have just had a very successful 2018 Spyderfest in the UK

46 of the Spyders attending UK SpyderFest'18 – held at Darwin Lake near Matlock, from May 11-14 2018 – visited CMC Motorcycles in Chesterfield for a photoshoot of the biggest gathering of Can-Am Spyders ever seen in the UK.

We want to show BRP (Europe) that there is a market for their product and would value their support which unfortunately has not been the case
It took an Owner and a very keen rider along with his partner with the assistance of others to put this together with no support from BRP
At least 2 dealers came along which considering we only have less than 10 Spyder dealers for the whole of the UK was pleasing to see

That's what it usually takes to get something like this off the ground. Congratulations to all of you. Hang in there, mate!

Congrats on your 2018 UK Spyderfest. We are in the process of planning our 5th annual Spyder Muster. I agree there is a lot of work in planning such and event. You need to pat yourselves on the back for obtaining 46 Spyders in attandance.

Here is a short clip of what the drone saw when some of the Spydets at UK SpyderFest'18 posed by the Darwin Lake hall for a photoshoot requested by the owners of the holiday complex (13-May-18).

I have posted on the Can-Am Facebook page with little success. As the organiser of the weekend I have been left with a sour taste in my mouth regarding BRP at the moment but I am not going to give in. Next year I want 75 Spyders in attendance :-)

My thanks to Eddie for posting my other drone videos from UK SpyderFest'18. Here now is the FULL drone footage taken when some of the bykes posed by the Darwin Lake hall for a photoshoot requested by the owners of the holiday complex (13-May-18). (I have sped it up 2.5X so you don't get too bored watching it all!)

My drone also managed to capture one of the organisers giving a brief ride round the camp to one of her friends.
