Where are all the Virginia Riders at?

**spyderleg** · 11-28-2008, 08:27 PM

Thought I would create a post out of Richmond VA to see where all the other Spyder owners are. I did see a picture a friend showed me of some Spyders down by Poes Pub. So I know your out there!

Spyderleg
I live 60 miles due west of Richmond in Buckingham County VA and
with 6500 miles on my Spyder I have yet to cross paths with one
locally in my area.

Most of my riding is mostly west of Richmond Blue Ridge Parkway
Shenandoah Valley, more rural areas.

I used to ride with a local group of HD but a few viewed the Spyder as not
part of the group theme and in so many words said if I could not ride my
HD not to come,so I let them keep their theme.

I honestly felt that the Spyder was getting to much attention and that was
really the issue.

I'd like to start a Spyder group in my area or be part of one in yours
but with so few scattered so far apart it's hard to do.

If you want to get together sometime for a ride send me a PM..

Hello All Spyder Lovers

I have a Spyder and took the va driving test and the lady did not know what she wanted me to do. But I passed it was great to know I beat the system..

Hey everyone - I am located in the west end of Richmond and have been riding my Spyder since late May...LOVE IT! I have run into a few people down at the Colonial Hts store who don't know SpyderLovers exists! We need to spread the word and get organized...maybe setup a ride one of these weekends!

Agree I lived in Inverness over a year while working at Florida Power & Light in Crystal River on coal fired boilers 3 & 4. Rode every day at that time it was a Kawasaki 550.

I'm in southwest Virginia in Norton. I took the dmv test on my spyder in November. I only had to complete two portions of the test. I had to do the sudden brake and the swerve. According to the dmv lady those are the only two requirements for now for a trike. Good luck to you.

Hi everyone, I'm Ken and I have not done much riding yet, only have permit and I just went for a short one today. I love the ES-5 and the way it shifts, hope it keeps riding good. However I'm signed up for a riders course 27-29 March. After which I will be doing a lot of riding. There is a ride in mid-April in Fredericksburg that I will be riding in. Here is the 09 Motorcycle events web site. So if any of you Va. riders want to get together for a ride and talk, about a possible club or just to ride I'm game. http://www.lightningcustoms.com/motorcycleevents.html

**Spydermer** · 03-26-2009, 06:32 PM

Hi--
I'm a Va. ryder new to the site, but have had my Spyder since Sept. Have seen 2 other ryders in this area. Would LOVE to get together and ryde! I live in the Brandermill area--unfortunately working only weekends, so my ryde times are during the week. Keep me posted on getting something going--I'm definitely interested

**spyderleg** · 03-26-2009, 07:05 PM

Located right here in Midlothian off route 360 on Spring Run Road. Can pull off Friday rides most weeks based on workload. Unforunately this weekend is calling for rain. I plan on installing the forward riding brackets from No Magic Neon this weekend. Need to catch up and get a Friday ride in.

**bandwagon** · 03-26-2009, 07:34 PM

I don't mine taking a Friday off to ride, I will be in riding class 3-5 April. I've seen only one other rider on 95 near Fredericksburg but, he had exited 95 when I saw him and it was too late for me to exit safely. Are you interested in Rolling Thunder (May) in DC? I will be going, after all it was one of the reasons I got the Spyder. ken

Thanks for replying, I thought maybe no one was interested in riding. Understand weekends are not in the plans for you and I'm interested in riding during the week. Fridays sound like a good time to ride, as someone else has expressed interest in riding on Fridays. It's good to know that we are a possible beginning for a good gathering of Va. Spyder Riders. Check out my earlier post (web site) if you haven't already. There are some good rallies out there. I will be riding in one next month and also the Rolling Thunder (DC) in May. I will be riding tomorrow to Fredericksburg to go to Logans (steak house) in Spotslyvania Mall (Va. 3). I will be there around 5:30pm to attend a gathering for a young Marine that has decided to leave Military life. I'm a retired Marine but, works on the Marine Base. How far are you from Fredericksburg/Stafford area as I've never heard of Brandermill? Ken welcome

Ken I too am a former Marine and a three year survivor of a stage 3 brain tumor. This my main reason I am riding the

besides the fact it is just plain fun. Funny Spydermer Brandermill is just on the other side of route 360 from where I live. I will be looking at the calendar and see if the DC Rolling Thunder works. I'm sure I can pull it off. Paul

Hello all!
Just got my 08 SM5 last week, looking for others to ride with in area. The dealer I purchased from said they only knew of 5 or 6 they have sold here in Central VA. That is not to say there are not more in the area! I did see one in C'ville a few months ago, so I know there are other riders around! Hit me with message and we will go from there. Still working on license, they tell me I need to have a 2 wheeler to take the test at DMV, not so sure of that

. May go one day when I have the time to kill and see what happens!
Happy riding,
Brian

**Lamonster** · 03-27-2009, 01:27 PM

welcome

**bandwagon** · 03-27-2009, 03:04 PM

Will keep you in the loop as to future rides, there are some rallies in Va. happening soon. Check out earlier post (rally web site). Let me know something.

I am in Fishersville, VA if there are any Spyder's in this area, Would be interested in riding to some VA rallies if timing is right.

**spyderleg** · 03-27-2009, 08:30 PM

All Ryders we need to find a date in the near future to meet. Looks like a Friday afternoon would be the best based on Spydermer works weekends.
Would a Friday work for everyone? We are spread from C-ville, Richmond and Fredericksburg. Any ideas on a location? Paul

**bandwagon** · 03-27-2009, 10:19 PM

How about Poe's Pub 10 April? Not sure about time that will be good for everyone. I don't know how the Friday traffic is, so are we talking morning, afternoon or evening.
