Spyder Sightings

[YPILOT]

We were traveling I-26 through Columbia on the 5th. If it was us that you saw in the rain we had our yellow Frogg Toggs on. I didn't see you because I was really watching the traffic around me at the time. We had already seen two auto accidents in the rain and we saw a bike down in Columbia. I did see a silver RS Spyder on I-26 just past Asheville NC earlier in the afternoon. We traveled to Savannah GA, spent the evening and continued to Daytona Beach on Sunday. We saw a woman on a silver RS Spyder in Ormond Beach, a silver RT going down A1A and we met a gentleman on a blue RT at J&P Cycles in Daytona next to Bob Rossmeyer Harley Davidson.

Saturday, June 5, in the late afternoon on I-26 just west of Columbia. I was heading into Columbia on my way home from the Southern Throttle Rally, and this yellow Spyder with hard bags was heading in the opposite direction. It was also raining pretty heavily at the time, so I am not sure if the ryder saw me or not. I was able to get a quick wave off for just in case though.

The one I saw had a solo ryder, and was heading toward Spartanburg, so I believe it was going in the opposite direction of you. The rain was pretty bad, and I may not have been too far behind you as I also came across 2 accidents.

I do hope you had a great trip to Daytona and back though. :thumbup:

Saturday there were two at Parkway Harley Davidson Swannanoa, NC., ours and a silver and black RS from East Tennessee. Hope to see more this coming weekend at the NC Hog Rally in Matthews, NC.

Met a local the other day. I was getting ready to leave the corner market when a Red Spyder pulled up along side me. His name is Stu. He doesn't frequent the websites though. I did tell him all about us but he didn't seem very interested. I saw him again to day while shopping and we got to talking about oil changes and the oil in his airbox. Told him he should really visit the how too forum on this site. Give me a little time, I'll get him to join the family. It seems we only live about 4 miles apart.

Do you have a link with information about this event? I am not too sure I will be able to make it, but may just try as it looks to be about 3.5 hours away from me.

NC STATE HOG RALLY

Only seen two others, since purchasing my yellow SE5 in August 2009. One was on the highway south of Kokomo, two up. The other, a red one, belongs to somebody who works at Indiana Packers, Delphi, IN.:ani29:

We don't seem to have many Spyders in Indiana.:dontknow:

Not sure I am going to be able to make this one. Thanks for the well wishes, as I am still battling the end of this illness but do believe I have almost kicked it. Wife doesn't really want me travelling like that so soon after being so sick.

Plus, I do not have a H.O.G. membership card and it looked like one is required in order to register for the event. If I read things correctly, you cannot even get into the vendor area without the wrist band, and you need a membership card in order to buy a wristband. :dontknow:

On 6-10 about sunset, bringing my new RT home, north bound on I-25. Saw a south bound RT between Las Cruces and Rincon, north of the Border Patrol Station. :cheers:

 

[ynot]

west bound (i believe blue) RT on I-26 traveling with motorcycle, 10:38 am. Friday, between Hendersonville and Asheville, NC.

NO... I'm not a member, and $5 buys you a wristband and access to the vendor area. Local BRP dealer has spyders there. I was there yesterday and will be again on Saturday - Probably.

Thanks for that information Dan! I am actually feeling a lot better today than I have been for over a week now. I may need to start trying to butter up my wife to see if she will let me make a road trip tomorrow. However, it is currently raining cats and dogs outside and I don't know when that is supposed to let up. It is keeping me from doing the outside chores that she would like me to get done. In the end, everything seems relative.

Hopefully you will be able to meet up with ynot if you go, and I will post again if it looks like I will be able to make it.

Spyders spoted

On 6/15 I saw a parked yellow RS with yellow tinted windshield off I-81 in Verona, VA

On 6/17 I saw a silver RS going down Fortest Hills Rd and parked white RS in Machesney Park, IL
:2thumbs:

Black RT spotted @ Pilot Knob and 46 tonight. He turned right off Pilot Knob onto 46 and went a few miles, then left @ 3 for a mile, then left onto 42.

I was in my car. Honked and waved, but he didn't notice (or didn't care). I followed for a while, but didn't want to seem like TOO much of a stalker.

Got this pic at a red light. (Don't worry, it had just turned green as I snapped the pic. I immediately put the phone down and didn't touch it again until I was safely home!)

Is this you?

Come out, come out where ever you are!

Black RT & trailer in PA

We were driving south on I-81 (a bit north of Harrisburg, PA).

Saw two trikes driving north. About 1pm at exit 77.

One was a standard trike - white.
The other I realized as it went by - black RT pulling black BRP trailer!

I'm really starting to see more and more Spyders on the roads.

Oh, and my dad says he sees several Spyder commercials a day on ESPN (he's a barber & the TV is on all day for his customers). So far I've only seen the ad twice.

 

[chillirider]

I saw a Silver RS yesterday evening about 6:45pm at the McDonalds in Waverly, OH

 

[retread]

Silver RS, woman ryder, on State Road 135 just north of Nashville (IN), around 3 PM yesterday.

Finally - I was on my Spyder when I spotted another red Spyder RS. Today at about 3-4 pm getting on 83N (I think) near the Rt. 30 exit.
I was coming off the exit ramp & saw the other Spyder going opposite among a lot of traffic.
I do believe this is the same red Spyder I have seen in the area multiple other times!

We need to stop passing each other & meet finally!

 

[Florida Rev]

I thought there was a thread for this, but couldn't find it, so I'll start a new one.

Around 11:00 a.m. today I saw what looked to be a new blue RT going south on Rt. 109 in Dedham, MA.

I actually drove from Florida to MA on Monday and Tuesday (by car) and did not see a single Spyder the whole way.
