Va. Chapter Spyder Riders Club

[bandwagon]

Does anyone know if a Va. Club already exist? Or, if you are interested in such a club. Please post so that we can get this off and rolling. Once rider express interest our first meeting place can be established. It will serve as a meet and greet to appoint positions,rules, you know the nessessary things involved. It will be a friendly club of people that just like to ride, discover new places and make new friends and mostly have fun enjoying their Spyders. :welcome:

[SpyderDon]

Sounds like a plan. There has got to be enough talent in the commonwealth to put this together.

Hell, a meet and greet sounds good to me.

[Hokiev]

I might be interested.
Keep me in the loop.

Spotsylvania, VA

[OceanEyes]

Sounds good to me! I've seen a guy on a silver spyder drive by near my neighborhood the last two days. I think it would be great to have a meet and greet so we know whose riding around. Hoping to take mine out tomorrow for a spin.

I would certainly be interested in something like this. I live about 30 min from mm 160 on BRP and am a few hours from most of the people posting here, but meeting someplace down the road is good with me. I was hoping to meet you in MV but as you know there were a lot of spyders and little time. You seem to want to get a lot of Va events started and I am all for that. I went to bike week in Daytona this spring and met a lot of those Fl people, they took us in, did some rides and made us feel very welcome. We made some very good friends. They have a very active forum and I thought it would be nice to be a part of something like that.I would love to see Va people get something going.

The only Spyder group I am aware of in this area is the Mid-Atlantic Spyder Ryders: http://www.meetup.com/Mid-Atlantic-SpyderRyders/

They encompass MD, VA, DC, PA, WV and DE.

So what's the next step?

Were the clubs at MV solely Spyder Ryders or did they let others ride too. Just curious...My husband rides a chopper and would love to ride a long. Actually on a side note, the last ride I went on was myself on my Spyder, my husband on his chopper, and his friend on a Buell. We were quite the eclectic group.

[Cal777]

I brought my Spyder over a year ago. We went to SITS, Daytona Bike Week, Spyderfest in Cuba and MV. We have rode with a lot of Spyder people from all over North America and everyone of them makes every effort to make every rider of anything welcome at every event and on any ride. There were a lot of riders at the Spyder event at MV on all types of 2,3, and 4 wheel vehicles. Since I have been going to these events I have been amazed at how friendly the Spyder people are and how welcome they make riders of everything feel.

I personally don't mind if a scooter rider wanted to ride alone. I just love riding and is hoping to generate a group of spyder riders. I see groups of GW, Harley, BMW, and so on. I don't see groups of spyder riders. I see one here and there. I've been to several area events and I see one or two spyders maybe. The goal here is the have a loyal band of spyder riders. Let's show the cycle world that we love our machines too. And that the Spyder Roadster is here to stay. Make way for the new breed of riders. I'm proud to be part of a new generation of cycle riders. The spyder is special in many ways. It allows just about everyone that ever dreamed of riding a motorcycle the opportunity to do so. I feel good when people come up to me and ask can I ride one of those. So let's all be ambassadors for the future spyder riders. Let's get them off the porches, couches, and their behinds and put them on spyders and let them feel the joy and excitment that we feel when riding our spyders. And if riders of other makes and models want to ride alone (welcome) I say. :doorag::doorag::2thumbs:

:agree: Maggie Valley was a blast even with the storms. Riding the Tail of the Dragon with a mixture of bikes made for a lot of enjoyment. At the local bike night my son and I are the only Spyders there but the Spyders draw a lot of attention.

[JoanJenn]

I LIVE IN THE LOWE END OF VA NEAR FANCY GAP ON BRP AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CLUB WHERE I COULD MEET OTHER SPYDER RIDERS AND HAVE PEOPLE TO RIDE WITH IF THERE IS ANYONE IN THE LOWER END OF VA!! \JOAN:2thumbs:

[spyder-dude]

I will be near Staunton, VA once we move in about 3 1/2 weeks....Looking forward of getting out of the expensive state of NY! :)


I will be interested in exploring some of the great roads in VA and West VA.

Well said! I totally agree that it would be great to have a group of Spyder ryders who could come together for rides, poker runs, or bike shows to let others see what 3 wheels can offer! I've had tons of women ask me if they can sit on it and I typically say SURE! You should see their faces light up when the realize they too could actually ride (by themselves) on the open road.

[OceanEyes]

I was thinking it would be great to have a Spyder Safety Day and BBQ. It's been done in other places but I thought it was a great idea for us Virginia Spyder ryders. If possible, maybe we could have one of the dealerships (like FMS or Coleman) to host. If you happen to know a dealership that may be interested in hosting a VA Spyder Safety Day, let us know so we can get the ball rolling!

I found a great brochure on ride safety including proper group riding (hand signals, positioning). As more and more of us come together for rides in Virginia, I think this will be helpful. Check it out!!!

BTW I was doing some research and there is a Spyder Ryder of America group on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spyder-Ryder-of-America/149472041762152 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spyder-Ryder-of-America/149472041762152) They have chapters across the country. This maybe a good starting point.

Hey folks, I just created a FB page for us VA Spyder Ryders. Didn't see one out there so I created it. Feedback?

No mine is a 2011 Magnesium RT S. No I did not hear about the ride. Sounds like fun. I have a dealer close to me in Bluefield VA but I never see any one on here from the bluefield area.

Hello Pulaski Spyder, I'm in Fairlawn. Maybe we could ride sometime whenever the rain stops.

[BlueRidgeSpyder]

I am interested in joining or help forming a Virginia chapter for Spyder Riders

[Bridgid]

I'm a new owner and would love the chance to get some hours in and learn to ride in a group. Count me in if it's local to South Stafford please!

[plmusic1]

I live in Stafford county and I've seen so many of you riding your spyders around. Everyone seems to be interested in getting together but no one seems to ever organize anything formal. So I am going to pull the trigger on this. We will accept members from anywhere but are going to focus on the area from Richmond to D.C. along I 95 and the surrounding region. I am going to start the application process tomorrow with US spyder riders and will be posting information on an upcoming meeting and I'm thinking we could get some help and sponsorship from both of our great dealers, Coleman Motorsports and FMS.

If you are interested in being a part of the club and taking an active role in its formation email me at lanier413@gmail.com

[WA5VHU]

We started a group in the Richmond area, you can find us over at https://www.meetup.com/Richmond-Spyder-Web/ and there is a group over in the Gloucester area.

You are very welcome to join our Richmond group!

[plmusic1]

Proud to announce the Northern Virginia Spyder Ryders Motorcyle Club. If you live between Richmond and D.C. along and around I 95 come check out our website and email us so we can add you to our mailing list. We are just getting started but can't wait to meet all of you looking for a Spyder Club and planning some rides and events. We will be a club for Spyder Owners primarily with membership to adults only.

[BUZZARD II]

Plmusic1, I'm about an hour and a half NW of you, between Winchester and Front Royal. We have three very active riders in our neighborhood. We would travel for special runs. Or ride to meet along Skyline or the BRP.

FYI. Clicked on your website contact section and was greeted by dire warnings from my computer security.

Please PM if you get anything going.

[2spicy4u]

My name is spicy and I just got an F3 and would love to be a part of Spyder lovers. I would also like to know if there are any Spyder rallies that would feature or have products such as paintings on Spyder trailers and other ideas. There are a lot of Goldwing rallies and Harley rallies but I would like to see a good Can-Am Spyder rally. I can meet anywhere from near Springfield or Alexandria Virginia to Roanoke Virginia. However I would like to hook up with a group that is somewhere between Woodbridge and Culpeper Virginia or Fredericksburg Virginia

[stevencovert]

https://www.facebook.com/groups/252303905299381/

We ride up north from Hampton Roads to Richmond area and loop around, we run across to Smithfield area and take the ferry to Williamsburg / Colonial Parkway (gorgeous!); down the coast to VA Beach; Suffolk & Portsmouth; North Carolina Border run to a farmers market, etc. etc. Join up and suggest a run! We love to try out new areas.
