Default VA Spyder riders

Sorry about my hiatus, been tied up for awhile. I'm in Hampton VA and have ridden my Spyder throughout most of Greater Tidewater and Richmond. I also have a V-Rod Muscle so I have to share my time between both rides. I find the Spyder comfortable, I have purchased the highway peg brakets, just haven't had time to install them. I also purchased electronic cruise control and at some point hope to install it. I did upgrade my saddle and installed a Corbin unit, nice on the butt. I'm looking forward to trips to the Outer Banks and the like locally and maybe to the GreenBriar in WV this fall.

Cool Charlottesville checking in

Hello all:
Just wondering if everyone is awaiting spring of 2010 as much as me!! Can't wait to get in the wind!! I have an 08 Spyder that loves hitting the highway and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Virginia. Looking for more Spyder riders in the area or anywhere in VA to ride with from time to time.
Peace to you,
Brian aka UVA Spyder and UvaSpyder

I agree 100% with Irish2themax (I'm Irish too).
Two things are a must...
1)Handlebar Risers
2)Highway Pegs (or floor boards)
3)Maybe a new seat.

Do the mods and make adjustments on shorter rides (100-200 miles) BEFORE your big trip.

Default Bryans Road, MD

Hi, I am in the Maryland area and have purchased a new RTS and taking it for its first 600 miles check-up.

I am available during the daylight hours Monday - Sunday for riding. Creating a Spyder Group sounds very interesting.

Lets see about a meeting, say a half way point for all who are in the area, on a certain day for introductions?

Question Maryland, RTS Owner

Has anyone in VA consider having a meeting with the Maryland Spyder, say somewhere on 301 on the VA side close to RTE 17 or closer, for a meet and greet of new owners within a 100 miles radius?

Just asking.
