Hello everybody this is Dan L, and I just wanted to start this thread so.....................Let the posting begain

Hello to everyone in The Colorado Spyder Ryders Club, my name is Larry Thompson, I live in Estes Park Colorado and purchased a new 2012 Spyder RT-S. I've ridden motorcycles since I was 13 years old, started out on a Honda 90 Dream and spent most of my adult life on a Honda Goldwing. I'm in Phoenix right now tending to some personal (87 year old mother) issues, but before I left I was able to get to my 600 miles and now my Spyder is in for it's initial 600 mile Service. I must say that this Spyder is the most amazing ride I've ever experienced. I gave up my Goldwing due to bad knees (college football injury), I had both knees replaced at Orthopedics of the Rockies last year and decided to try the 3-wheel aspect of riding. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, enjoying our commonality and more than anything getting out and riding in this beautiful state of Colorado.

Welcome, Larry. Congrats on the RT.

We are trying to get more Colorado Spyder Ryders using this forum, but it's a slow process.
I'm looking forward to meeting and ryding with you.

How about a Trail Ridge Road Ryde this summer and an early dinner at the Dunnraven Inn???

Howdy folks. I live in Sterling, Colorado but am a transplant from San Diego, California. I will be going to look at Spyders tomorrow in Denver. Once my truck is paid off in about a year and a half, I am going to to buy either RT-S or an RS-S. Once I get the Spyder that I buy, I would love to get together with some fellow Colorado folks and go riding sometime.

Hi! Just got on this blog and glad to see there are other interested CO riders. Did you have that Trail Ridge ride? We'd love to participate sometime. Anyone planning to attend the rally in Sturgis? I understand there has been a good presence of Spyders in the past.

[SpyderSue]

So, where are the Colorado Ryders? How about Front Range Ryders???? I just joined the Colorado Spyder Ryders meetup, so hope to find some of you there.

Hello????

​Hello All Colorado Spyder ryders,

I too, am a new owner of an RT Limited. I just read Larry T.'s post, and my god, its like a mirror. I have also been riding since I was 13. Can't even name all the different brands/types of bikes I've had. (The last several years have been Harley's). And I too started having knee problems. (But not anything as serious as Larry). But to a point where I just didn't feel as comfortable on the Harley as I once did. Also since the Boss, (Significant Other) and I ride Two-Up all the time, I thought I should look at something a little more stable. Such as trikes. I tried the Harley's. But they lacked power, and I didn't like the handling. I started seeing more and more Spyders at rallys, and decided to try them out. One test ride and I sold the Road King and bought the RT. I have been looking for fellow owners, in Colorado, and thought maybe I would start a group. (Hence, you might see "Rocky Mountain Spyder Ryders" on this site). But now I found Colorado Spyder Ryders, (CSR), so I will delete the group I was going to try and start. I don't want to step on any toes, and I can devote my time to a group that is already started. Let "The Boss" and I know what we can do to contribute, and we are looking forward to meeting other ryders.

Rgrds,
Kc

My wife and I are new RT/S owners. We rode Harleys for 6 years and enjoyed them very much, until she dropped hers in a parking lot at church. From that day on, she was not comfortable on the bike. Whether it was her bad knees, or just the weight of the bike that worried her, I have never found out. We saw an ad for the Spyders and thought we would give them a try. One test ride and she (we) was sold! Took her red one off the floor, and had to order a blue one for me. We've enjoyed them very much, especially with this mild fall weather we've had here in Colorado. Looking forward to a lot more riding! We are in Colorado Springs and would enjoy getting together with other ryders from the area.

I am getting my 2012 spyder in a week or so. I was just wondering if there is anyone from Colorado going to the Ozark, MO SpiderFest 2013?
I am only going for the weekend but, it would be awesome to ride out with someone else. Let me know if someone wants to go out together. I have my room reserved from friday night through sunday. I will be leaving to come back on Monday morning (only because of work).

I'm not in CO, but have ridden through visiting friends in Denver and accomplishing a challenge by a local club called the CCRiders, CCRiders.com

if you want to ryde, this is definitly a list of challenges that are good to do. I did mine in 2 days on the way back to Cali from SpyderFest 2012. it was 10 passes over 10K feet.

Hi Brian! Congratulations on your RT! I bought my RS last June and have loved every minute of it. I'm up near Estes Park, so if you end up riding this way, let me know and maybe we can do a ride together. I don't get down that way very often, but if I do, I'll let you know. YAY!!!
