Does anyone know whether Americade (held in June in Lake George, NY) typically has any Spyder-related presence? Such as Spyder-related vendors, group rides, etc?
Thanks!

I haven't heard that BRP has a presence but the Spyderquest committee (and extended friends) are always there in force. We usually use the time to pre-ride and scout out rides for September.
In 2016 @ Americade, there were spyders there, take a look at www.americade.com for more info.

In 2016 Lamont & Joan, and several other spyder owners were there , including my self.Quote:

I figured they put all the effort into homecoming. Except no independent vendors were allowed in Valcourt.
I have no idea where Leon found demo rides in '17. I walked around in the rain for three days looking for a friendly place to hide. I'll be there again this year with some other's for a five day stay. I would like to see some representation but the vendor costs are quite high for Americade.
There is a dealer in Hudsons Falls NY and lots of things to buy at Americade for the Spyder as well .

Some of the guided mini-tours are slanted towards trikes. There are a few vendors with Spyder items, but not many. Check the official registration material when it's released at tourexpo.com.
There is also Artic Adventures in Rosendale, New York. I don't know if they were @ Americade last year.

BRP was not at Americade last year, but it was the first year not there since 2008. Weren't at a lot of places last year cause of putting all there advertising money in Valcourt. I expect they will be this year, but who knows.
