Spyder Sightings

[ezduzit]

Seen a Black/Grey Spyder on Rt 42 going South towards Atlantic City on Friday,September 16 around 3:00 pm I was like a little kid in a candy store..Tickled to death....

It could have been you, Dan...she didn't say what color the were, and I was so shocked she was calling with a sighting, I didn't ask! Video of Leah was cute, BTW.

I have a white Limited down in South Charlotte and am ryding every day.

Saw a blue (I think) RT, one up, crossing the Ave L overpass of Highway 14. It was at 3:45pm, 9-21-11. I was on the Highway, and saw it as I was going under the overpass...

We went to Townsend, TN today (Saturday Sept. 24) and about 3 miles outside of town this afternoon saw a dark RT driven by a woman. She looked like she was with a guy on a cruiser ahead of her.

Then when heading back through Pigeon Forge around 5:30ish saw two white RTs. One had just gone through the intersection and when we turned the corner saw the second one waiting to turn left. We waved like crazy and they saw us and waved back.

I wonder if any of those folks hang here?

It was a great day for sights. Saw 5 deer, one coyote, one bear and three spyders!

Also performed our ambassadorial duties many times over today. *L*

Can you believe it? Just returned today. From Denver to Branson and back and never saw a single Spyder. 1800 miles and not one. Saw lots of trikes, Goldwings and Harleys and even a VW. Trip was good though in spite of a cold and wet ride home. It's all good.[/QUOTE]

I am new to the Spyder community but will you be riding with the Colorado Group tomorrow? I have not met any local ryders yet - so not sure how many of us are. Hope to see you there!

Saw two today (Saturday the 24th), a white RS with single rider, passenger backrest, rider with a multi-colored helmet, going south on I-405 around 2:30 PM south of Bellevue. Then a lady on a red RS southbound on I-5 around 4:40 PM, I think west of Olympia.

Of course, hoping to see a bunch of Spyders tomorrow during the Oyster run...

Sunday, Sept. 25th headed out to local Cracker Barrel for breakfast and spied two spyders in the lot. One belonged to YPILOT and the other to a friend of his from Telford. I'm sorry I can't remember the other rider's name.

When we got into the restaurant, I was searching trying to figure out who the ryders were. As soon as our name was called for seating, a group walked out and one of the guys was wearing a spyderlovers tshirt! That sure made things easy. That's when I found out it was YPILOT and friends.

Would be nice to hook up for a ryde.

I saw two Spyders on my way home. There was a yellow RS headed North on 81 between Covington and Walnut Grove @ about 6:30 pm. Then about 6:45 pm a silver/grey RT turning from South GA 81 onto GA278. A great day.

[Desert Spyder]

Has any of these passing encounters resulted in a hookup later on?

Saw a White RT just outside Murphy NC heading east on US 64 Sunday morning.

I was driving the F150 cage and tried to catch up with him but he was flying low and long gone !

I was on my GS and was spotted by Dave McDuffa and his wife Mellany. I then went on a ride with and his boss who has a White RT. A few weeks later we ended up at a cancer ride that Jim Potts motor group helped sponsored and meet up with 4 more riders on Spyderlovers. Now with each new ride our group has gotten bigger and at last count we are up to 24 riders that meet once a month for a burger and ride and one to two major rides a month. My last ride was to four states and 500 miles.

Not many sightings get responded to but Dave spotting me has had a major impact for our area!

Last week I saw the 2011 RTS Limited in South Windsor/Manchester CT line. I was in the cage but wanted to turn around and follow him. Can't wait to meet some fellow SpyderLovers!!

Of course Spyderlovers.com had a hand in that too, because it was here that you told me about the Jim Potts sponsored cancer rides and Jim (spyderX2) & I got to meet you, Karen,the McDuffas, Mr Orange, and SNY and Ruth. The rest, as they say..... is history! Having our group has really enhanced our Spyder experience. Hope to see you all on Saturday's ride!!
P.S. We're adding 2 new Spyders this weekend and we added 2 newcomers to the last ryde.

Desert Spyder, here is some photos of this months group ride. We added 3 new spyderlover members for this ride!
Plus another person we passed on the ride had just come back from a test ride and seeing us all having a good time may also become an owner.

. . . but there was one Spyder at the Trinity Site ( where they tested the first atomic bomb in New Mexico ) on Saturday. The site is only open twice a year - the first Saturday of April and October.
