How many spyder riders are on here from MN?

[Lynn]

I have a 2008 spyder, and ride the Northern suburbs, Chisago city area. Nice to meet more spyder lovers.

I am currently in Stacy, MN. Love my spyder, hate the issues I am having with it. We will be moving to Grantsburg, WI in two weeks, I will still available for rides if people want to go

Kytten, I think I passed you on my way home from work in EP to Carver recently. I was so excited to see another female on a Spyder!

You were turning East on Pioneer Trail, I was going south on Flying Cloud.

Fun!

We are in south Minneapolis.

I hunch that there are many SL's who don't visit the state groups.

We are in Linwood Mn. Just off Martin Lake,The wife and I have spiders hers is a RT 10 and I have a 08. Just back from Sturgis Rally and Montana-Wyoming, put on near 4000 mi.

[Paula(Butch2025)]

Its getting a little cold here in Michigan too. Joe and I rode today it was sunny and 50. The sun makes 50 feel more like 60. I've only used the low setting on the heated grips, I don't want to wimp out and turn them on high just yet.

Seth do you put snow tires on your Spyder?

[LDFIREWORKS]

Fla hade 86 o/o today i wish i was there snow would be awsome to see for a change enjoy

that is awesome I didn't ride anywhere but to work last week with that crazy wind and rain and thats not even 15 miles total trip. I would like to get back down there but with deer hunting going on and such it cuts into my riding time. I am kicking around going to sirra vista AZ this jan/feb trailering down to NM and riding over if anyone wants to go . be about 10 days, got a place to crash for at least 4 people total.

Seth do you put snow tires on your Spyder?

No, the problem was the front tires create so much drag is you are stopped in more than 3 inches of snow that you do spin, I am sure if I found a snow tire it would work but that would only get me about 5-10 more days of riding. The spyder works great on tar with a "little" ice so you have to pick and choose what you want to do. Me being in a wheelchair "kinda" limits the days I go out with the snow and all.

come on up and ride or see how cold it can get. it was only 29 degrees here last night if would only get down to 0 this place would be a ton more conducive to riding. that and it was summer again on march 1st.

Bought a spyder in Atlanta and rode it home to MN. Put it on a trailer and towed it behind the motorhome to the winter home in California. Will return to MN sometime next April. Mike

[SethO]

any new mn riders this year? it looks like it will be over freezing all next week and my bike will be fixed SO hopefully I will be out riding by tuesday. It would be great to have a MN spyder meetup somewhere that would help everyone with a meet and greet.

[MMcc]

Seth; It is a little early for me to return to MN. Weather here is in the 80's but will cool down to the 70's by the end of next week. We will stay here until the nights a too warm for sleeping. This coming week-end I plan to drive to LA area and go with my daughters boyfriend riding on PCH. He said it will be a easy day run of 5 to 6 hours. He just purchased a 2008 with my incouragement and seems to enjoy riding it. Right now he is adding a GPS ram mount, finished the satellite radio and iPhone hook up. I added some more lights to mine as Hwy I-10 if full of trucks at night and I prefer to be lit up like a Christmas tree to make myself more visible to them. We are 50 miles each direction from any type of town so I have lots of opportunities to ride the highways. Another friend here in the park has a 2010 RT so we find any excuse to run to the store. Hopefully will have the opportunity to meet others in MN this summer.

Do I count? I am about 20 mile east of Stillwater. One of those border jumpers. I just baught a 08 about a month ago. I just got to take it out on my maiden voyage. Pretty gutsey to buy one and have never road one before. I read alot about Spyders before I spent the money. Final result is ,"I LOVE IT!! It is definately a toy. Fun as Hell!! Hope that someone in the area arranges some sort of get together ride this summer!!

We picked a used 09 up for the wife late last fall. She is in Staples Minn. where the dirt driveway is all mud now. Soon to be snow again then mud again. I ride a 98 honda valkyrie. We went on a ride summer before last out of 10-Hi in Motley. Seth we met a fellow on on yellow spyder that was paralyzed there. I think he was from around the Detroit Lakes area. I don't know what dirt town stands for. Did you have a yellow spyder or was that you. This guy had a gal. with him that rides a white harley. Right now i am working in the cities and living in Eagan soon to retire i hope. So if there is a meet and greet we are all over the state

that was not me, there is a guy in park rapids with a red spyder who is also in a wheelchair which is weird to all be in the same area.

Dirt town is Bemidji mn, 120ish miles north of staples. Mine looks like my pic here, silver death machine esk.

Seth,
Great video, soon everything will be green again.

[SethO]

Seth,
Great video, soon everything will be green again.

thanks that is my old go cam, terrible compared to the new HD one I have but worked for that I needed then.

People keep saying that it will be green again, I just want better than 11 degrees when I ride home from work. Its sunny and 19 out, WTF

I should do a cookout up here this spring for MN riders, IF brp gives me the RSS to test I will do it up.

[bobbobtar]

Seth,
Let me know when, the wife and I will be there, she makes a mean potato salad.
