Okay - I have a question. I see so many posts in this thread, and yet most are not answered. I've seen quite a few Spyders in my travels, whose riders I'd like to acknowledge and contact, but feel like I'll never get an acknowledgement. So...not being contrary, but what's the point?
I would respond if someone posted that they saw me, but nobody ever does. That's what I get for putting that stealth wrap on my Spyder :riding:

That "Shields Up" command works better than expected, huh Pam?

Earlier in the thread some people acknowledged that they were probably the Spyder mentioned in the post.
But think of the odds.
There are roughly, what maybe 120,000 Spyders on the road. There are roughly 20,000 members on this site.
Right there, at best, there is a 1 in 6 chance that the other ryder is even a member.
How often is this thread reviewed ??
There are roughly 250,000 views. That means that every member may ave looked at this thread about 12 times in 6 years.
As I said, there were some acknowledgments early on, but as the thread gets larger and as the Spyder population grows, it just seems less and less likely that the two parties would match up.
Just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
I agree with this thinking, while I look at the spyder sightings (when it comes up on the what's trending list) I don't seek it out. I actually think this topic could work better and get a lot more activity if it was broken into states of where the sighting took place. This way, one wouldn't have to sift to the end of the 50 page list and read posts of sightings that were 1000 miles away them when they are seeking sightings in their area.

Sounds like something good ,maybe we can get it stickyed in each state threadThere's nothing to stop you posting a "Spyder Sightings" thread in a state-specific forum. That may be a good idea. Then I can watch the threads for the states I've been ryding in. I usually ignore this thread, and only review it occasionally.
