My wife and I have the same experience. We only seem to see spyders when riding with others. Tonight on our way back into town we saw a blue or black RT 2 up in Fredericksburg around 9 PM. Today is the first time we saw more than one. We counted 9 between Gatlinburg, TN and Fredericksburg, VA. 4 of them were in VA, mostly down around Salem.
With my work we have not been out riding in about 3 weeks and still won't be for another 2 or 3.

Hardly See Spyders on the Road!!
Wife & I finished all 45 stops of the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Virginia on 15 Aug 2012. Besides seeing Ken Wright, who randomly checked in @ the Steel Horse Grille at the same time we arrived, we only saw 1 other Spyder on the road during our 9 trip, 115 hour, 2666 miles traveling our CommonWealth. However, it sounds like you had a pretty good long trip yourself, Dr. Buck!!

I live in Virginia Beach, and, work in Norfolk. Like I said I work, don't have the pleasure of running around. I haven't made the investment that would allow me to gallivant around, yet.
I hope you enjoyed the Beach while you were here. I'm sorry that you saw so few Spyders on your trip, but I am sure they were working as well. If you get back down here in the near future, give me a call and I'll give you a tour of Back Bay and a ferry ride over to the east coast of NC. Its a great day ride with no real destination in mind just the ride.

Great Ride last Sunday
We rode down to Afton Mountain from Fredericksburg this past Sunday and visited the little town the author of the old Walton's series grew up in. Saw lots of bikes, no Spyders. But we did have a great time and some of the views were outstanding.

Sounds great... I usually work weekends and off on Thursdays/Fridays; however, I'm straight Mon-Fri & off weekends for the next 6 weeks. We can usually ryde any Saturday or Sunday except tomorrow. I'm taking my Spyder to FMS to have my BumpSkid installed and the spare key I purchased reprogrammed. Just let us know!!!

I was Virginia Power Motor Sports in Ruckersville on Friday. They are planning a ride between the middle of October and the end. They had a ride earlier in the year. The ride should be listed here and also on facebook.

Let's try to make a "Skyline" ride date
ValCruzSyder here. Let's try to get a serious date for a Skyline ride. The wife and I left for ride to Elizabeth City on Saturday...ended up riding to her nephew's house in New Bern, NC. What a blast. Va Beach is a fair jump off point for us...as long as they, (VDOT) are not shutting down tunnels!! What a drag! Looking to ride the Colonial Parkway soon. It's only a 25 mile scenic ride, but all the same, still a good little ride. We will be leaving for a cruise (ship) in a few weeks. So we want to get in some ride time before we leave. Let us know if any of you all want to pick up and just ride. Spyder Crazy!!!!!!

I am from over near Staunton, VA. I will be helping Virginia Motor Powersports put on their 2nd spyder ride like we did in the spring. It was a great time.
Always looking for more people to ride with so if you are ever near Central Virginia (Charlottesville, Waynesboro or Staunton) let me know.

Hey Rudy, I meet you and your wife at the Jennifer Short Memorial Benefit Ride. You actually told me about this site. It was very nice to meet you and your wife. We need to get a bunch of Spyders together around here for a ride.

I have been riding for about a year now but I just joined this forum. I don't see many in the Manassas area. You can catch me on I66 in the HOV between Manassas and route 50 going and coming from work.
