I've never had much success with these type forums to find groups of fellow enthusiasts, but as a new Spyder owner I thought I would give it a try. I am in Rockford, which is sort of northwestern Illinois. I still ride with the Gold Wing Road Riders Association club that I belong to, but so far I am the only Spyder rider in the group. If there is a group out where I live, I would be happy to join up with other riders.
