    Default Tucson Spyders

    Looking for other Spyders to do some weekend rides with. I've seen a Red RT between Ina and Tangerine on La Canada and a White and a Blue RT parked for maintenance behind the Ride Now on Ina so I know you're out there...hit me up and let's get riding!

    Have you considered riding up to the event in Durango?

    I took the Buell up to Alpine over the weekend and did some laps up and down 191/180, nice and cool up there, very sceninc and ALOT of fun. I have been up there on the Spyder, too...saw a few Rs/Gs and RT's rolling around up there this weekend. Cabins/hotels and grub everywhere to stay the night, couldn't believe how few people were up there over the weekend. The Mountain High lodge in Alpine is an easy place to stay and access 191 or 180, great fun!

    The wife and I rode 191 all the way from Alpine to Douglas Saturday. We might of crossed paths? We were going south bound. She has a 2011 Silver RTS and I was on a blue M109.

    Default Red Syder

    Hey I own the Red Spyder RT seen on La Canada, and live in Oro Valley. I have had for about a month now and love it. Had many other 2 wheel bikes before, so this is a new experience. Would love to get together with you or other Tucson spyder riders for rides. Am also interested in knowing if anyone in this area is thinking about going to spyder fest in Durango next month? If interested in riding email me at muonwhiz@msn.com

    Default Tucson Spyder Riders

    I have a white RT and am at La Canada and Magee. I have had mine since July 2011. I am a member and Road Captain in the Tucson Freewhelers Riding Club. They are a really fun group to ride with and they have all kinds of bike and trike riders. You all should check them out. I am the only Spyder owner in the group and would love to have some more to ride with. My name is Anne and you can find me on the Tucson Freewheelers website. Come on a ride, there is no obligation to join so try us out! I am leading a ride tomorrow to Mt. Lemmon for lunch. Anne

    Gonna be sorry to leave the area, but am moving to TX soon. Last week decided to go on a "goodbye" jaunt, wasn't all that far but sure was hot! I was stopping just about every town that had a convenience store, and got lots of looks dumping cold water over my head (that I hadn't first consumed)- and the spyder got lots of inquiries too! Wont be any warmer in TX- I think if someone could invent an air conditioned helmet it would be awesome! Good journeys to all!

    ....and we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride.....

    ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds, with
    the devil close behind,.....we're gonna ride....

    Smile Tucson Spyder

    Well, I've been looking for some Tucson Spyder boys. I live in Oro Valley, had my Spyder since 2010. I go back to MN for work every couple of weeks, but after that I'm free.
    Happy owner, so far

    Jadel and I very much enjoyed our ride with you on Sunday and will see you sunday at Montgomery's. Let's try to contact all the Spyder owners who are also there and set up a way to communicate so we can schedule some rides. The ride to Bisbee sounds good to us. Thanks, Jack
