    Default Any Thoughts on having a Spyderfest West Such as Nevada,Arizona,New Mexico,California

    Now that there are so many new Spyder owners in the west,I was wondering why can't we have a gathering out west.I would be intersted in seeing comments to such an idea.We have so many riding areas and great hotels,motels in places like Las Vegas. Just a thought I'm from Lake Havasu City and we have lots of places to stay and good riding areas.

    The lynch pin to something like this is to have a sponsoring dealer willing to take on all that goes with it. There are some other events that are in that area, Durango, SIR, a Washington State event, etc. May be a little difficult to organize such an event--but will be watching.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Default Events..!!

    Would be nice...but there is a lot involved in setting one up. I give a lot of credit to those dedicated to making them happen. Do see your point though, most of the big ones are long drives for those out west. To bad no one has been able to get a true figure of registerd spyders by state or even how many have been sold or made...but brp holding to mid/east must mean thats where the bulk is...still would be nice..!!

    Default Western events

    Two easy ways come to mind:
    Laughlin
    Las Vegas Bike Week

    we go every year, and can establish a rendezvous point. If we build a large enough gathering, the following year will be bigger! A Spyder only event is a great time, but takes a lot to host. Durango and SIR are great, and I encourage more people to go. Spyderfest is fantastic, and the premier Spyder event. Make the trek, see how it runs, grow from there.

    If anyone knows how to start up and host such an event, I would like to help. I do not know how to get this going, so I can't be the lead.
    However, I want to help.
    Several nice venues come to mind:
    San Diego is incredible in the Spring and in the Fall.
    The Central Coast is beautiful all the time.
    Palm Springs is great in November and March.

    I think the best would be San Diego. There are lots of nice hotels near the beach areas and rydes to the mountains, beach, and desert areas could be taken for less than 200 miles round trip.

    I would like to help. But I do not know how to get it going....
