Wow! No One uses this sub-forum? Any interest in putting together an Ohio Club?
I'm new to owning a Can Am Spyder. Just checking to see if there's interest in putting together an Ohio Club.

Thanks ARtraveler! I think I'm just looking for folks to ride with. I don't care much for meetings. It would just be nice to post a monthly ride. If you can make it good, if not try again next month. Goldwing groups do "Ride to eats" and those are always good to. No route or ride group, just pick your own and just find a place to meet and eat Breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Folks who organize clubs like to tell other folks what to do. Die hard riders who ride the dirt or on the street don't cotton to being told what to do. Sorry, that's how I see it.

Yeah, good idea. About the only lasting group riders I've been around are the PGR guys. They keep on going and going and going. God bless them all.

I was affiliated for many years with a generic motorcycle club. We did weekly rides and stopped off at a restaurant to finish the night. We also had four or five yearly events. They accepted "all" bikes. I was the only Spyder for the first couple years I owned one of them. I was a "road captain" for a few of those years. We had 50 or so bikes and split into about 8 groups for the nightly rides. They were grouped according to ability and riding style.
When the original founders retired out of the club and from riding, the new people made to many changes. Politics caused us to leave the group. After that, we (spouse and I), kept our rides to ourselves. Much less hassle and we could do whatever we wanted.
Here is a link to one of my many albums--this from 2011. Amongst the 79 or so pictures are a few showing the riding club from the good ol days. All of the club photos from that year are on page 2.

We have a Spyder riding group known as “The Spyder Ridge Riders.” We get together once a month and meet for lunch in western NC or upstate SC. Tomorrow we have 10 riders meeting for lunch. We have no officers or dues. Currently there are 32 riders on the email list. We have had as many as 20 for lunch or only 5, but we try to ride the first Saturday of each month, weather permitting.

I ride with the PGR as a matter of respect. Other than that I am not even slightly interested in belonging to a group for riding, stamp collecting, or anything else. I go as slow or as fast as I want and stop when I want. From the time I entered kindergarten until I retired at 56 I danced to someone else's tunes. Not anymore.

Where are you in Ohio? There's a group in SW - 51Three's rides as well as a US Spyder Ryder group in the area that do rides. The 51Three's post meetups for evening rides almost daily when weather permits. It was an informal group, going a little more formal this year, but you can just about always find someone willing to ride with you. Good Luck & Happy riding.

A lot of the ryding groups in BC only post their info on Facebook.
