OK, just left the DMV about another matter with my car but anywho..the lady did a look up for me on all private owners of CAN AM Spyders 2008/2009. She would not give me a list for free, cost $100 but there are 139 owners in the state of NC. 100 bucks is not worth it to me to track down each one..lol..but where the hell are you all. I find it odd that there are over 20 in Raleigh area and I never see them. I hear of them all the time, maybe I am not out enough or something. Planning a group ride "with sponsor" here in a few weeks "more details later" and wanted to see how many I could get. My other idea is to email each CANAM dealer and ask for email addresses but have a feeling that would not go over very well.
So, if you are here, chime in and make yourself known. Give me your email address and I will add it to my list. For those in the Raleigh/Greensboro/Goldsboro or even Winston area, I have been in talks with the dealer in Goldsboro on some very sweet discounts for oil changes and priority service. Just need some numbers is all.
You can send your email to spydernrdu@gmail.com.

OK..it seems I have a weekend free next week. Saturday 18th. I have one other rider up for a ride, anyone else. Not sure where but would prefer towards the mountains. Those that may be coming from the coast, you are more than welcome to crash at my house that night if you don't feel like driving all the way back to the coast. No kids so we have 3 open beds and several couches, enough room to fit at least 4 spyders in the garage as well.

Hey patches.... sorry that I have not seen this post before now. I am currently in PA and will be going to NY for a few weeks. Should be back first week of August. I am out of the Jacksonville area and up for a ride anytime.

For those in this area..here are a couple of other groups I ride with from time to time.

http://www.meetup.com/Just-a-Bunch-of-Bikers-Raleigh/
Lots of HD and cruiser type guys.

http://www.meetup.com/Triangle-Pride-Bikers/
Smaller group for local rides.

When I am feeling crazy and want to relive my good ole days of sport bikes. They have regular meetup on every Thursday night, about the only consitant group in Raleigh I have found so far.

Of course, you can always check out the Ray Price web site, they have rides all the time, many too large and too slow for my style. If I want to go sit in traffic, I will move back to CA.
Vinnie, I know you are out there..stop hiding..check your VM.
