    Default Brand New Rider

    Hi everyone,

    I just purchased my first Spyder. Actually my first of any type of bike, 3-wheeled or otherwise. I don't even have it yet because I have to take the Riders Safety Course where I purchased it at. I just came back from Sturgis. I flew up to Oregon and a friend picked me up and we took off to Sturgis the next day on his Harley. It was a 3 day ride. Regardless that popping alot of Ibuprofen every day and that it was a Harley I was on, I enjoyed every minute of it !!! I'm almost 48 so I'm not as young as I used to be.

    Nothing can compare to the experience of being on a bike in the open air where you can feel the air, smell it, seeing everything around you. It was sooo awesome! I live in Houston, Tx. and as soon as I get this baby home, I want to start going places with it. I hope that I can find a group of more mature folks that will be fun to ride with. I want to stay around here first to get used to riding in traffic, etc. I don't really even know how to operate it yet other than what the sales guy showed me, so it will take some getting used to. I just requested to join the Face Book group as well. I may start a Meetup Group for my area. There's only one in Houston and it doesn't look like there's much activity. I'm afraid to join any other Motorcycle groups because I don't know if they take the Spyder seriously. Has anyone else experienced that reaction? Also, have any of you gone to a biker type bar and experienced any negative reactions because you're on a Spyder? Just curious.

    Hi Silver Lining, we are new too. We bought ours 3 months ago. I had never even sat on a motorcycle until we bought it. I'm still getting used to that. I have only been with this site for about a week.

    Default Newbie spyderling

    Hi ladies,
    I've had my spyder for a couple of years and I can count on one hand the number of times I've taken it out. I hate riding alone. I've been searching online for peeps with similar interests and I'm glad to find this forum. I'm in south Florida - let me know who out there is interested in a group in the area. Good luck to everyone. Be safe out there and keep on cruising.

    I don't have a Facebook account, but I think this is a great group for us ladies to share our experiences . I love my bike and ride in all seasons. How many of you grocery shop in your spyder? I always get a kick out of clerks that wonder how your going to fit all of the groceries in the bike, then you open all the trunks up and the next thing you know you'll have a crowd watching you..

    Hi - I just now put in a request to join the Facebook group. Been riding Harleys for 20 years, got a 2015 RT this summer (bright red & her name is Natasha!) & have been lurking in these forums for a couple of months now...

    Hi Lynda! I put in a request to the group too about a week or so ago but have not heard anything yet. Hopefully they still have an active moderator.

    We just traded in our 2011 RT-S for a red 2015 RT-S a couple of weeks ago, her name is Ruby. We are not far from you, so hopefully we can do a ride together some time!

    Welcome. If you don't hear back from GOS in the next few days send me a private message with your name, as it appears in FB and I'll see what I can do. One of the mods is on a weekend getaway and another is in the process of relocating so they might not be checking.

    Send me a private message whenever you're back in town and want to ride - we may still luck out and get some decent riding weather in before the usual rain hits in earnest!

    I'm in GOS on Facebook but I'm not aware of a website. If you look up Girls on Spyders on FB and click the Join Group button, someone should get back to you.

    It does, though it may take the admins a few days to get you added. I submitted a request, some time passed, and in the end SpyderAnn helped me out and sent a message to one of the admins. My join request seemed to have dropped off or something by then, but when I did it again they added me.

    Thanks for the reply. It's been months since I sent my requests (I tried twice). I think this would be a fun group to be a part of. I hope I can get in .

    Hi and thanks. I have tried to join on Facebook (twice I think). My Facebook page is a joint page with my husband. Both our names are on it so maybe this is the reason ?

    That could be it. I know they posted on the site that when they go to check, if they don't see pics of Spyders or something related to riding they can't tell if it is a spam request. As my public facing FB page doesn't have a Spyder pic that may have been why mine was delayed.

    Send me a PM with your Facebook name and I will go post over there and see if one of the admins will see it.

    There is a forum similar to spyderlovers that was not widely accepted by the ladies. If you are trying to join it I believe you first must be a member on the Facebook page as you need your GOS member # for the forum. If any of you are having issues with Facebook feel free to send me a private message and include your Facebook name.

    What is "Girls on Spyders" about? Just wondering. What do you get there that you don't get on SpyderLovers or any of the Spyder Facebook groups?

    I'm not being cynical, just curious

    GOS has over 2000 members and is alive and well. Have you tried to get on the FB page? If you've requested to join, there is a good chance that you are a member. If you are having a problem, just friend me (Janie Ryon Harper) and I'll help. Member #322.

    Unfortunately our our website has not proven to be very popular but the more members, the better. If you are a member of our FB page, just sign in to the website by using your full Facebook name and your GOS member number.
