Spyder Sightings

[Bootie]

Hello from Stow

Our first sighting was yesterday in Hinckley Ohio while we were enjoying the 60 degree sunny day.When along came a RT Spyder.....We both stopped in the middle of the road in shock ! then pulled off to talk.We were convinced we were the lone Spyder in Northeast Ohio.....Before we parted ways we made plans for a ride to Hocking Hills Ohio. We also learned he is new to Spyderlovers.com....His site name is Bootie...:2thumbs:

Yup, I was riding on one of Ohio's many backroads (this one in Hinkley Reservation) when down the road comes another Spyder. I couldn't believe my eyes:shocked: We originally stopped in the middle of the road to exchange pleasantries but finally came to our collective senses and pulled off.:chat: We spent the next 20 min comparing notes and making plans to meet in the future. In the meantime, about a gezillion people stopped to ask us about the Spyders. They had never seen one let alone two of the beasts side by side. This one was actually my 2nd Spyder (I had a 2009 RS but sold it to help pay for the 2010 RT). I was out testing my newly installed ISCI Handbrake when I ran into the tajohn folks You just never know...

BTW Hinkley is known as the place where the Buzzards (really Turkey Vultures) return to every March 15.

You can expect a black RT S with a Connecticut plate in Martinsburg the evening of April 22 at the Rodeway Inn parking lot. Take pictures.

I heard Spyders are being spotted all over the Midwest they all seem to be headed toward central Missouri, has anyone called NORAD yet.

 

[Bitten]

Saw a fellow Phantom Ryder at a gas station off of 78 in the Wylie/Sachse area on Tuesday around 7:00PM...

 

[2spyders]

Yesterday we were headed home from Arkansas and saw a blue RT headed south out of Kansas City (I think we were on 70). Mine was in the trailer.

Maybe the owners belong to HOG?

Have you seen someone unfamiliar riding a Spyder ? Maybe you were out riding, or you saw one drive by while you were standing on a corner ?

I have seen more Spyders being towed on a trailer than being ridden by an UNFAMILIAR face. Sigh.

There are those people who ride their scoots . . . . and those who parade them . . . . even in Oregon . . .
Before we bought our Spyder RT, we saw one in O'Brien, OR . . . . a yellow one . .. . since then we have seen (probably) the same yellow one, and a red one in Grants Pass . . . . the reason you won't see more on the road is because the owners are talking to people in a parking lot somewhere . . . . . thus, "I'm not a rock star' thingy . ..

Just saw a bunch of spyders on GW parkway pulled over at the overlook onto Potomac River in DC/VA.

If I saw a few seconds earlier, I would have pulled in...instead I honked and a few looked at me. I was in my car.

saw a yellow spyder with a group of bikes on hwy 90 between Lake City and Live Oak FL today around 11:30 am, about 45 bikes but only 1 spyder. hyea:

Saw a Red Spyder near the Dragon

Finally, I saw one today. First one this trip.
A red spyder. I was with a group of bikes getting gas. A red spyder came by and stopped at the stop sign. I honked and they looked but there wasn't much in the way of recognition.

Saw my first spyder on the road today in Dayton ohio on Willmington Pike near 35 it was black RT with some mods looked great! tying to find the owner. I sure wish it was me! Maybe someday soon I hope!

Yellow Spyder Seen

I was at the Valley View (OH) Quaker Steak and Lube for Bike Night, yesterday. I met up with another Spyder (a 2009 SE5). We had a good chat.
Name was Daryl but he doesn't belong to any forums. Oh Well:spyder:

 

[ThreeWheels]

On the Woodbridge Fire Department Charity ride yesterday, a new fellow showed up in a silver spyder with some nice spyder and web details painted on the hood and fender.

While on the ride, a silver spyder was heading on 69 north while we were all heading on 69 south. That was unexpected. I'm wondering if it's the same spyder I've been eyeballing all along.

Of course the local dealer was there offering test rides, so he had four his out.

Saw the first Spyder I've met while riding mine yesterday, a yellow RS. I was going west and met him going east in a tight left hand turn just east of Castell, Texas. We were both kinda busy with the corner and barely had time to wave.

PA I-83 South sighting

Was heading north toward Harrisburg, PA tonite around 6:15pm or so (in a friend's van). Was somewhere a bit north of York, PA.

Saw a red Spyder heading south in the fast lane. RS with red/black side bags (looked like they were BRP bags).

Spyder sightings

Stopped at Ramsey's HD in Darlington last week to check out HD trikes and buy a can of S100 spray. No trikes in stock. One arriving in a few days. All production sold for the next 8 months according to sales guy.

Black RT in the parking lot with PA tags. He bought it off the floor 3 days ago and doesn't know a thing about it other he likes how it handles. "Much better than his Gold Wing trike" he says. Mentioned all the web sites available and got a blank look. Oh well, we can all be Spyder Guru's.

Red one in Hickory a while back. Another red on on 439 headed north while I was headed south. Wave and fist pump and a combined closing speed of about 120 mph. Yellow one with loud pipes going the other way on 222 near the Union Hotel. A few others here and there I can't recall.
