Spyder Sightings

Virginia sightings!

Lots of Spyders on the road this weekend. Saturday (10/14) saw 2 riders on a matte black pulling a trailer heading east on Rt. 220 in Daleville.

Today (10/15), on the Blue Ridge Parkway:
MM 172: white, northbound
Mabry Mill parking lot: one red, one white. Didn't get a good look, but I think they were single riders.
Rt 58, right near parkway entrance: yellow with a single rider
~MM170: green, with a single rider, southbound. I'd never seen a green Spyder before.

And, a silver Spyder on Rt. 460 in Christiansburg, heading toward downtown.

Im pretty sure I met the couple on the Red F3T and the White RT that you saw. They were at the Spyder Adventure in Maggie Valley. Stayed at the same hotel we stayed at. They pulled out around 8:30am and was headed up to VA. I know you said you didn't get a good look, but the White RT would have been missing a left front fender. He had a little mishap at the meet.

I would be willing to bet bet most of the ones you saw were returning home from Maggie Valley.

Saw a black ST parked at Hunter Mt in NY yesterday 10/15. I parked next to it but they were gone when I left. Also saw a blue one (not sure of model) heading south with a group of 2 Wheels on Kings Hwy same day.

That would be the right timing for a trip up the Parkway from Maggie Valley.

I admit that I rode south on the Parkway yesterday, hoping I'd see some returning Maggie Valley riders. Next year, I'll know that Maggie Valley is in NC (something I didn't realize until last week!) and plan a trip to the rally myself. It's only 4-5 hours away.

Trailering and "Where are the Spyders?"

I have never seen another Spyder on a trailer, and have only spied a few unknown ones (or even known ones) on the road in two years. I have seen quite a few trucks loaded with trailers full of crates, though.

My own Spyder has logged many more miles on the "drop tail" trailer than it has under its own power. It is just a convenience issue (I think), but it did finally gets its ordeal by rain this weekend. I have yet to find a cover which will allow for you to trailer under a soft cover. Might have to go to the enclosed type.

As for "where", you have probably noticed areas where there are too many to count. Southwest Missouri and southeast Wisconsin/nothern Illinois have strong interactions with very supportive dealers, and as you would suspect, many Spyders.J

Then had 2 pass me on the highway in nashville today heading east on I 40 going toward knoxville, tn. That's all except for the blue one I saw setting in my garage last Saturday.

Spotted 2 spyders traveling eastbound Manhattan-Monee Rd, Manhattan, IL on Sunday. Was hoping to be out with the other riders but was not feeling well.
Perfect weather to blow the dust off.
