Hello fellow SoMd Spyder Riders.... I know there are a few of you out there Because I occasionally see you traversing the roadways of SoMd. Give a shout back and let's see how many of us there are in this area !
According to the members list here....there are 130 of you out there and probably many more nonmembers....hope they reach out to you....:spyder:
i'd hope to reach out to the Tri-county area folks primarily (StMarys, Calvert, Charles) since they would be the easiest to connect with for shorter duration (afternoon) rides. I believe the Maryland folks who are just on the outskirts of Washington and Northern Virginia suburbs would have a number of options WRT groups to connect with.Quote:

Hi there Don ! Your Callaway friend wasn't by chance a fella named Ian who rides a yellow Spyder ST was it ? I'm in Wildewood and have a fellow Spyder rider friend who lives right down the street. PM me if your interested in sharing contact information and perhaps joining us in some rides.Quote:

I take my RTL there also and have been very pleased with them. I have been reading (SpyderLovers) that the Service Department at Talbot Power Sports in Easton Maryland was good also. I would have to compare the distance to-from both service departments.Quote:

Great group and they are all about the rydes, not just the destination like some other groups.
Hey John ! I'm in California, MD. As was mentioned in this thread there is the MSW group and I've subscribed to that group, but most of their rides tend to venture to the North and east from their area of origin which for us adds a 2hr or more ride just to meet up with the departure group.Quote:

Don, I've been doing most of my own maintenance for general issues like mods, drive belt tensioning, oil & trans filter/fluid changes, etc. I've yet to have to have any major work performed beyond those routine issues, but planned on using Fredericksburg Motorsports if something arose that I deemed outside my comfort zone.Quote:

Great group, they often ride through southern Maryland.
La Plata, MD here. My Spyder has been in storage the past couple years. The family and household move is now complete, so I hope to be back on the Spyder come late spring.
Sounds like you need to stretch the legs of that ole girl if she's been In storage all that time. Hopefully she was put away with fuel stabilizer and will start up without issue after all that time in storage.Quote:

Hope to see you on the road one of these days.
A few years later......are you guys still active here? Anybody getting ready to do some riding?
