Spycer Carver to Eden Prairie Almost Daily
Kytten, I think I passed you on my way home from work in EP to Carver recently. I was so excited to see another female on a Spyder!
You were turning East on Pioneer Trail, I was going south on Flying Cloud.
Fun!

Its getting a little cold here in Michigan too. Joe and I rode today it was sunny and 50. The sun makes 50 feel more like 60. I've only used the low setting on the heated grips, I don't want to wimp out and turn them on high just yet.
Seth do you put snow tires on your Spyder?

that is awesome I didn't ride anywhere but to work last week with that crazy wind and rain and thats not even 15 miles total trip. I would like to get back down there but with deer hunting going on and such it cuts into my riding time. I am kicking around going to sirra vista AZ this jan/feb trailering down to NM and riding over if anyone wants to go . be about 10 days, got a place to crash for at least 4 people total.

No, the problem was the front tires create so much drag is you are stopped in more than 3 inches of snow that you do spin, I am sure if I found a snow tire it would work but that would only get me about 5-10 more days of riding. The spyder works great on tar with a "little" ice so you have to pick and choose what you want to do. Me being in a wheelchair "kinda" limits the days I go out with the snow and all.

come on up and ride or see how cold it can get. it was only 29 degrees here last night if would only get down to 0 this place would be a ton more conducive to riding. that and it was summer again on march 1st.

any new mn riders this year? it looks like it will be over freezing all next week and my bike will be fixed SO hopefully I will be out riding by tuesday. It would be great to have a MN spyder meetup somewhere that would help everyone with a meet and greet.

Do I count? I am about 20 mile east of Stillwater. One of those border jumpers. I just baught a 08 about a month ago. I just got to take it out on my maiden voyage. Pretty gutsey to buy one and have never road one before. I read alot about Spyders before I spent the money. Final result is ,"I LOVE IT!! It is definately a toy. Fun as Hell!! Hope that someone in the area arranges some sort of get together ride this summer!!

We picked a used 09 up for the wife late last fall. She is in Staples Minn. where the dirt driveway is all mud now. Soon to be snow again then mud again. I ride a 98 honda valkyrie. We went on a ride summer before last out of 10-Hi in Motley. Seth we met a fellow on on yellow spyder that was paralyzed there. I think he was from around the Detroit Lakes area. I don't know what dirt town stands for. Did you have a yellow spyder or was that you. This guy had a gal. with him that rides a white harley. Right now i am working in the cities and living in Eagan soon to retire i hope. So if there is a meet and greet we are all over the state

that was not me, there is a guy in park rapids with a red spyder who is also in a wheelchair which is weird to all be in the same area.
Dirt town is Bemidji mn, 120ish miles north of staples. Mine looks like my pic here, silver death machine esk.
