I would respond if someone posted that they saw me, but nobody ever does. That's what I get for putting that stealth wrap on my Spyder

That "Shields Up" command works better than expected, huh Pam?

Yeah, works hand-in-hand with the A$$hole Seeking Missile System that I have installed on my Spyder.

Earlier in the thread some people acknowledged that they were probably the Spyder mentioned in the post.
But think of the odds.
There are roughly, what maybe 120,000 Spyders on the road. There are roughly 20,000 members on this site.
Right there, at best, there is a 1 in 6 chance that the other ryder is even a member.
How often is this thread reviewed ??
There are roughly 250,000 views. That means that every member may ave looked at this thread about 12 times in 6 years.
As I said, there were some acknowledgments early on, but as the thread gets larger and as the Spyder population grows, it just seems less and less likely that the two parties would match up.
Just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Last week the people i met at the gas station in wareham are also not on here. Told them about us, but.

I agree with this thinking, while I look at the spyder sightings (when it comes up on the what's trending list) I don't seek it out. I actually think this topic could work better and get a lot more activity if it was broken into states of where the sighting took place. This way, one wouldn't have to sift to the end of the 50 page list and read posts of sightings that were 1000 miles away them when they are seeking sightings in their area.
I love how the earth rotates around the sun ... it really makes my day!

After all this time,I finally got a response on here on this topic. We have been known to drive through 5 states in one go and never spot another Spyder. When I do run across other Spyders,usually at a gas stop, I have yet to encounter anyone who is on here. So I give them the info and welcome to join the fun.

There's nothing to stop you posting a "Spyder Sightings" thread in a state-specific forum. That may be a good idea. Then I can watch the threads for the states I've been ryding in. I usually ignore this thread, and only review it occasionally.

Arizona
Yesterday I saw two Spyders coming the other way while riding around Saguaro Lake. I was in the middle of a pack of about 30 two-wheelers, and I was pleased to see all the riders ahead of me waving to the Spyder riders. The Spyder riders each had their arms out with the wave as we passed. Not sure if they noticed me or not since I was blended in with the two-wheelers.

You can search a thread by name or in this case (State Specific) and long as it is entered into the thread.

Fredericksburg Pennsylvania...
I saw one on Sunday morning on a back road when I was headed into Fredericksburg Pennsylvania. I think it may have been an RS. Gave him a 3 fingered wave from the car. Not sure he saw it.
