Have you seen someone unfamiliar riding a Spyder ? Maybe you were out riding, or you saw one drive by while you were standing on a corner ? Describe the Spyder and where it was. Who knows, maybe you'll make a new friend. I'll start:
Grassy Hill Road in Orange CT at the corner of Ridge Road about 6:30 on 3/21/2010. A silver Spyder traveling westbound, like he was heading to the Merrit Parkway. I was in my car, so I'm sure I went unnoticed.
Your comments are well taken. A group of us Spyder Ryders have formed NISR - Nebraska-Iowa Spyder Ryders and are looking for additional members. Everytime we see a Spyder on the street we try and hail them down??? Unfortunately, they are always going the opposite direction or in heavy traffic. Any other suggestions on how to find other Spyder Ryders would be appreciated. The dealers do not want to give out their sales lists????????

Couple on white spyder pulling a 662 trailer. He was dawning rain gear....I think. West of Pikes Peak access road. Was our first spyder sighting of the trip. The next came days later, again, in Colorado. And that was it. Just two, in four thousand miles.
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

A first for me, I saw another Spyder on the road today. About 1700 on Basin Street in Ephrata, WA. there was a Red Spyder headed North as I headed South on my way to the store.
Things are looking up.

Great Idea! Yellow Spyder on Snively Rd here in town.... about a week ago. I know that there are some around here, but don't often see one.
Here is a recap of Spyder sightings in 1300 miles:
1 and 2. Saturday Morning, Saw the 2 Spyders about 20 miles apart outside of Oklahoma City traveling west as I was traveling east. One was white, the other I believe was Cognac (quick glance trough Road barriers and traffic).
3. Saturday Evening, Saw a Blue one traveling east as I was traveling west on the West side of Oklahoma City.
4 and 5. Traveling South on Highway 87 about 15 miles north of Plainview Texas. 1 Yellow and 1 white RT's. Passed me as I was pulling a trailer. Good thumbs up from each other and continued on our way.
1st outing with the trailer. Must say pulled very well and could hardly tell it was back there, until backing. Took some practice, but have the backing down very well now. Fuel mileage was better than 42 MPG with a 30 mile an hour wind at my back. Around 30 - 32 with a strong cross / head wind. Not to bad. Total trailer load was about 270 lbs.
Pearl White 2014 RTL with Lumina 14 CF trailer. Texas Safety Rest Area just west of Texas, Oklahoma border, headed to Amarillo.
2016 RTS Special Triple Black, BRP Freedom Trailer, Spyder Pops Rear Lighting Kit, Spyder Pops Full view Turn Signals, Trunk Light, Rivco Highway Pegs. Doc's Spring Tensioners, Trunk Organizer, Magic Mirrors, Foam Grips, back to Stock Windsheild, Lamonsters cat delete, Bajaron sway bar, More Farkles to come !!
Saw a white and a blue Spyder about 0940 yesterday headed South along Banks Lake just S. of Steam Boat Rock State Park in Washington State. Riding with at least one two wheeler.
4 sightings today and all I did was take rt23 from one end to the other.....
a couple on a RT matching mine turning into a Starbucks in Franklin right in front of me....then a few minutes north I saw a guy on a RS going south....
at my terminus at the Dairy Queen outside High Point, I notices a couple on a Yellow RT coming out of the BP station up & across the street....
then on the way home going south, I passed another RS heading north....
2014 Spyder RT-S, Black on black, no mods (unless you count the BRP backrest!)
I saw a lady on an RS the other day in Crater Lake NP. She was going the opposite way around a curve and must have been focused on crossing the double yellow line because she didn't wave. Later, she approached me at the lodge and indicated that was her and her husband was following on a 2-wheeler. Nice folks. She asked about my RT and didn't know much about the new models. Her RS is a 2009 model. I told her about SL.
My one and only sighting here in Mexico. Near my ranch I saw a Spyder, had no idea what that was, but sure admired it greatly. This was about a year ago, never forgot, figured out what it was and the search for my new toy was on. The guy riding it drove in circles in an intersection and I kept going on to what I had to do, then when I came back he passed by again. I was just so impressed! I have never seen another privately owned Spyder, only seen 1 other in a showroom and the place shut down the next week so who knows where it ended up. I am hopeful to be part of a group that exists somewhere about 2 hours away and I will travel to enjoy the company!

Saw a few yesterday but too busy having fun and checking my 6 to verify the wife was doing well on her F3 to recall details. We went out to Cripple Creek, CO from Colorado Springs. Didn't realize Donkey Derby Days was going on so it was an added treat.
If you saw us, you would remember. Although my plain black RT-S is forgettable, and maybe even the wife's white and black F3S, if you saw the neon pink pigtails I stuck to the side of her helmet you would remember. I really need to charge people for taking her picture. We counted at least 3 cage passengers feverishly snapping away on the road.
I crossed paths with a 2-up yellow RT yesterday while riding on FM78 between Marion Texas and McQueeny Texas. They were riding toward Marion and I was riding toward McQueeny.

Out for a nice 5 hour ride yesterday up north. 1st was anF3 with a young woman riding in Wasaga Beach. 2nd was on Hwy 10 around Mono Township I think Black RT Limited riding with a Harley stuck in construction delays. Beautiful weather FINALLY! !
Over the 4th of July weekend we saw a Spyder while visiting relatives in Lynchburg, VA on Rainbow Forest Drive, we were in a cage at the time.
Heading back home on July 7th we saw a Spyder heading southbound in VA on US-29, somewhere between the DC area and Charlottesville. The ryder gave a big wave, we were easy to spot:
Coming out of Cracker Barrel in Pearl, Ms this morning, saw a White RT Limited on a tandem trailer with a white trailerhooked to it. Since this is exactly what I want I took it as a sign from God that it's meant to be! Or possibly the drugs and alcohol from the 70's still haven't cleared from my system yet...
it had Texas plates on it. Anyone here??
Just got back from a trip to Vassar, Mich. Saw one cognac RT in a motorcycle show and several going here and there around the area. I was in my cage, so other than the RT in the show, was not able to share conversation with any ryders.

Saw a blue RT pulling a gray trailer, coming out of the Wal Mart / Home Depot parking lot onto Woodmen road Westbound in Colorado Springs yesterday. The wife and I were in the cage and headed the opposite direction (with pizza though).
My wife did point out to me that we both kind of geek out whenever we see a now.
