I'm in Central PA near Williamsport, but we ride all over the place. Hubby rides sportbike, but he and his friends let me join in on my Spyder and we take very long rides every weekend all over creation. I also enjoy long trips out of state on my bike. Looking for more "Spyder-ers" in this state. Send us a holler if you're around! Thanks!

There are five of us in West Central PA, 3 in Johnstown and one in Ligonier. 3 yellow spyders, my red spyder and 1 phantom in Windber. We just got a new dealership in Windber on Dark Shade Drive.

Well I'm not in PA, but if you're heading East to New York, you've got to ride Route 97 North out of Port Jervis... I'm only 45 minutes or so North of this gem of a road...

We'd love to have you guys join us!

Hi!

New rider (mid-June), going tomorrow for 600 mile service (I have 850 already).

Had my license for 40 years but very little actual riding, so I'm not comfortable yet going 70 on I-81, but am really enjoying the twisty 2 lane blacktops that are so Central Pennsylvania (and Williamsport!)

Recently widowed, so I've got the time to ride... figured I better get the BEST warranty since I'll bet the miles will really pile up over the next 5 years! I just bought the BEST this week.

Well, talk to you guys later... I'm looking forward to reviewing all the valuable information I see on the forum!

Frank.

Welcome aboard Frank!

Whereabouts in PA are you? I'm not too far across the Delaware into NYS...

Have a 2010 RT SE5 - located in Media, PA.

Thanks for the welcome, Bob!

The weather's been hot, but fairly dry, so... in the six weeks or so I've had my Spyder, I've got over 1200 miles on it!

I will report that the 600 mile service PLUS installing the three SpyderPops heat shields cost me $223.50, including tax! From memory, this included belt tension check, oil change, programming flash (for the throttle body), torque wheel nuts and other connectors, and some other checks. I thought it was VERY reasonable!

Anyway, talk to you folks soon...
