    Default No SITA this year

    Just got this email

    We know that many have been waiting for details on our Spyders In The Adirondacks event for 2013. Well, we've decided to take a year off. We've been running events for five years now. We have had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people, seen some great areas of this country, but after all these years of planning events that we don't even get to ride to, we've decided to take a break this year. We're not saying we are out of the Spyder Event business...and who knows...we may plan an impromptu fall foliage ride, but for 2013 we won't be running Spyders In The Adirondacks.

    Although I am going to miss the event and the people that come to visit in my great state, I sure won,t miss the lack of organization these 2 guys where capable off. Time for somebody else to pick it up.

    Boo hoo! lthough the weather did stink last year, there were some real great people from all over including Canada and a few from as far away as Florida who really enjoyed the event. Roberts Motor Sports of Malone and Saranac did a great job as the local dealer. Certainly looked forward to a repeat and to make the 2013 event better. But... will have to locate another event somewhere in NY or Northern PA.

    For those ryding to Americade, we can have a good time there too. Hope to see a great number of Spyders there to enjoy the Adirondacks and western VT. Ryde on all, Ryde on

    We are certainly disappointed. There focus has never really been on Spyders anyways-- realy their other sleds website they run. We NEED a great Spyder event in the Northeast. we loved riding in the Adirondacks for the last two years, meeting up with everyone, etc..

    I couldn't agree more !!!!!! Even though the event itself wasn't the greatest, I looked forward to being around my fellow Spyder friends. We had some great times there and this news is sad to hear.

    It's too bad that it's being cancelled for 2013...
    Perhaps somebody else can pick up the slack?

    There's no reason one of our own can pick it up and run with it. Setup a meeting place and hotel, pick a date and post it here. Start small and see where it goes. You guys have my vote

    SPYDERQUEST 2013 does have a nice ring to it !!!!!!!!!



    If others are serious about this, I'd be glad to help put something together. I'm just so upset at them right now I just might do it anyway even if I'm the only one that shows up !!!!!

    There certainly where enough people there to justify it. Who ever runs with this needs to get the town involved. While I was there last year and talking with hotel staff and store keepers no one knew what was going on with all these funny looking bikes. Most if not all said they would like to get involved, reserve rooms special rates etc, welcome spyders, be involved in any events.

    SITA was so much fun but it was disorganized, I can not organize my sock draw so I can not offer anything other than support and I'm wiling to pitch in time and effort.

    We need some one like pitbull who as experance in what it takes to run one of these event to chime in. Pitbull you've got nothing going on at the moment apart moving, opening up a new dealership and running spyderfest, can you squeeze in a North East event.

    Does sound nice, but the Quebecians would think it says Spyder West.
    No time for me for a summer event, perhaps in the fall. Also mike, americade is known for the largest touring event in the country. Years ago though it was an aspencade event that turned into a goldwing thing, but not for a long time. Mostly bagger bikes now.

    I would love to put something together in central NY, but I have no idea how to do it. Maybe I will just have a big BBQ at the house and invite all the spyders ryders I can. Let me see what kind of ideas I can come up with.

    I was really looking forward to my first SITA too
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    Just sayin'............

    Default I Totally Understand!

    All I can say is THANK YOU to all of you who organized SITA up until now.
    I can relate to how much work is involved and sure don't want to see you burn out (well from organizing events) - Spyder Burnouts can be fun to watch!!!

    I do hope that it comes around again sometime and when it does - I'll be there again
