I think I'm the only resident Spyder Ryder in Yuma. Seen a few winter visitors at stores, bowling alley, etc and leave them a note to call to go ryding. No one has called in 2 years.

Today was girl's ride day and we went to Lake Havasu City for lunch. We ate lunch on the island and as we were heading back to 95 we saw 2 Spyders across the highway. We were in the turn lane so we couldn't go across to see them.

I'm new to this board. Is there an active Spyder riding group out there? With the cool weather coming soon to Arizona (well, not so soon), I'd like to help form one if there isn't, and be part of one if there is.

Thanks

Hi Glenn it seems everytime i try to come visit you my 2012 Spyder RT Limited breaks down again. This time I only had it out of the shop a short time then it broke down 2 miles from my house. In the two years that I got it new I have had 15+ problems with it. After I got it back from my SE5 shift controller going bad the rear shock broke into two parts. Now they fixed that then found it damaged the rear shock air sensor now waiting on that. I am beginning to wonder who makes the biggest junk BRP or China? If you ever need to have your alignment checked I know a place in Las Vegas who does it with the laser. They did mine and I didn't tell them which way it pulled since new. They told me an they found it out by 3/4" on one wheel. They travel all over doing it an only found one in alignment. Well I don't have to worry about the heat problem with it or it catching fire from it anymore since I fixed it. Others are doing the same thing I did with good results.

I will let you know when I am on the road again and can walk again. AZCowboy :spyder2: :gaah:

I'm the new kid on the block here. I am rural between Coolidge and Florence. Looking for some riding folks too. Lets pick a place to meet sometime and go for brunch or something. I'm retired, so just about anytime is good for me. Wasn't there someone else near me? How about this Saturday, the 18th and meet somewhere in the valley at a convenient time. How about the Hawkins San Tan Village 16 at 2298 E Williams Field Road, Gilbert 85295. It is at E Williams Field Road and the 202 on the W side of 202. Should have a nice parking lot. I could be there in the morning at say 0900 or earlier. It will be a 45 min run to that location for me. We could take the 202 to 60 and on up toward Globe and take a break at Judy's for brunch just off the road (between Miami and Globe). A little over an hour up to Judy's. Tell me what you think. I'm open to suggestions.

No one showed up at the theater parking lot. Didn'd really expect any one with short notice but at least I received back two pm's and will try another time. So at 0915 we headed to Mesa for the 'Highway thunder' that tony8472 messaged me about. Saw one other Spyder. A yellow ST. Talked to them a short time. Sorry, don't remember your names. Thats what happens when you get older. She has a 2013 with the heat. I relayed what I have learned about the heat from reading this forum.

In case any of you folks wanted to know, a new meet-up group called Can-Am Spyder Ryders of the Southwest :f_spider: has started in the northwest valley of Phoenix (Near Surprise, AZ). We currently have 15 members already and would be interested in having other ryders join us for rides and friendship. We are always looking for ideas for activities and ride locations. Getting ready for a ride to Bisbee, AZ, by way of Tombstone, for an overnight on March 14th & 15th. There will be staging locations on both sides of the valley. If interested, check out the meet-up site. Love to have you and welcome. :doorag: http://www.meetup.com/

Nice friendly group. 5-7 women riding Spyders and 8-9 men. It's a mixed group with every brand. Very active with 3-4 rides each week and a lunchen the second weekend every month. A few of us ride every week if you would like to join us PM me.

I rarely see any Spyders. I saw a Yellow RT parked at the Chevron by my house while I was fueling, and last week I saw a black RT coming the opposite direction on Hunt Highway. Other than that, I feel like I'm riding a real novelty item. That's fine with me. :yes:

Our American Legion post is in Gilbert (Old Town), and we make the 27 mile trip from our home in San Tan Valley to the post a few times per week. I have yet to see a Spyder in Gilbert, but we will watch for you. What color is yours?

Hi all, wife and I drive a spyder Rts 2014. July 5th we saw on national news a quip about Pie Town NM decieded to take a ride to pie town Nm. 260 miles we kept going ended up in Albuquerque Nm. Over 900 miles by time we got back to Gilbert. Short Rains on both days but had fun. We are leaving end of July for upper Peninsula of Michigan. Hitting Sturgis on the way. We will be back end of August and would like to meet for some can am rides. Both retired so open any days. Is there a local group, we would like to join.

I no longer own a Spyder but I could tag along with my Slingshot. I leave in East Mesa and my favorite short ride is up Ellsworth Road, Usery Pass, Bush Highway to Saquaro Lake. Continuing on to Fountain Hills is also a nice ride. Seņor Taco and their Hashbrown Burrito, yummy!

This morning I toke a ride to Bartlett Lake, Fountain Hills and then Saquaro Lake.

By the way, I now have the "coolest" Slingshot seats in AZ. www.kontourseat.com

Did the first "ride" since returning to AZ last night. Have never been on the full length of Sahurita or Mission road in between Vail and Tucson...that is a great(watch out for cattle)ride. Crossed over Gates Pass then returned via Picture Rocks Pass. Still drank a gallon of limeade tea despite it being dark once we got home. Look forward to ryding that again.
