SPYDERS???

[tatt2r]

last week we ended our 3700+ mile trip to lamonts /to see my kids in florida/and a buddy in ft lauderdale then home ....on the trip except for lamonts i only saw 1 other spyder and that was in tenn ... where is everyone :gaah:

 

[stormtrooper]

:agree: Ride all the time and I see no spyders also :dontknow:

It was the same on the Victory Vision I just sold. I rode 7 to 8k this summer from Denver to S Padre Island, and then to land between the Lakes in Kentucky, and just around and never once saw a Vision on the road and I did not see one Spyder. In Missouri I did get a kinda funny question though... "Victory (pronounced Vicktree) who's that made by.... Honda?" LOL

Same here in Alaska. Rode 15K miles this summer and saw no more than 4 or 5 on the road all summer long. When we were doing club rides earlier, we did have 3 to 4 spyders--but I am not counting those.

 

[Some Guy]

Aside from the SITS trip, I've only seen 2 other Spyders on the road this summer...a blue RT and silver GS with a dog in milk crate on the back seat (in Hell).

 

[WackyDan]

Nearly 10k miles since March all over the eastern seaboard and inland states and only 4 or 5 spyders spotted.

 

[canam9]

I saw three all summer. Two RT's, one GS. :dontknow: :ani29:

 

[Raptor]

Yeah me too! Only 1 black RT and 1 red and black RS all summer. However I know there is another Phantom like me, Leo Jr, that is not far away; we just haven't crossed paths yet. Lunar Rover and Spydergirl are not far from us either and with any luck we'll be riding together soon! SO they are out there Brothers and Sisters. I know they are out there... somewhere!! :spyder:

That surprises me a bit Sir! That Vision looks like a heck of of a machine. What made you sell it?

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I actually saw a silver RS on the road today. I saw the one with the dog in Hell also and I saw one parked at a motorcycle rally earlier this summer and one towing a trailer in Minnesota and that is it. I've put 9000 miles on the Spyders since June 1st and have also driven across the country and back again twice. They must be hiding in garages all over the country.

Vicktree that is funny, kind of like the way people butcher Bombardier.

 

[vtspyder]

Local dealer here in VT said they sold only around 25-26 spyder's since 2008. I know there is one up the street from me but never see him. My wife and I saw one a couple of weeks ago in Grafton but that's it. Had a guy stop today with a load of lumber on his truck to say;"hey, nice bike man"!. Still get loads of looks.hyea:

Bombadeer! LOL Done That!

 

[boborgera]

A dealer 5 miles from me said She sold over 120 Spyders.:shocked:??
In over two years, But in the two years i have mine, Except when i was at the Chatterbox I've only seen two on the road.

 

[BikerDoc]

Today at the Sanford Bikefest, I saw 6 spyders not counting the BRP demo rides. Its slow progress for us to have a presence in the very very big biker world.. the good news is the advertising that CAn AM BRP does on ESPN at least makes us recognizable to most of the biker population..

 

[Raptor]

While I don't have my :spyder2: on the road yet I've been looking for them and the sitings are few and far between. I've been used to this with what bikes I've been riding. Don't see very many Guzzis or Aprilias either and I kind of like it that way. I guess if I wanted to see a lot a particular brand I'd buy a Honda or a Harley. They are like a plague of locus out there. I like being the odd duck in the pond.

:spyder:

To me the Guzzi and for that matter the Aprilia is a biker's bike, you know what I mean? Whenever you see one, you have to stop and admire for a bit. At least I do. I just love the lines of the Moto Guzzi. I saw one up at Alice's just last week; me and a guy on a beatiuful DUC were yackin it up. When we saw it, we both dismounted from our rides and walked over to it just to get a good look. Very sexy, dude! You have good taste in bikes! :2thumbs:

The Vision is a heck of a machine and one of the toughest sales I have ever done. It was very fun to ride and really turned heads everywhere I went. Most importantly it never left me along the road. BUT.. I got bitten.... and now have the yearning for a Spyder. It is ordered 11 RTS and I am just waiting.

I hope I made the right choice... We will see.. I sold it because I cannot ride both and do not want to keep both.

You should have been with us in Southern Illinois today, then...you'd have loved it. Three of us riding - a DUC, a Moto Guzzi and a Spyder. :doorag:
Hmm, come to think of it, we didn't see anyone else on any of these either.

 

[draboo]

We traveled 8K miles this summer and saw a grand total of maybe 2 Spyders. I figgered we would see a few in TN and SC, but nope.

 

[katnapper]

saw two today, no wait 3 and only rode 200 miles or so:chat:
