Hi my name is Jeff I'm a Spyder owner since October 2008, below is the picture of my baby coming home.

With the help of Martin at Australian Spyder Ryders I have pinched the detail (with his approval) for this web site which I think is the first in the UK. The main reason for this is that there are so many more owners down there and look forward to our collaboration, I hope to do something similar with a site in the USA so that we can pool our knowledge and information.

If you are a UK owner we need you and your input for the site.

Spyder owners are a group of like minded people who all enjoy the fun of riding the BRP Can Am Spyder Roadsters . There is no other road going vehicle like it.

We hope to meet regularly for social events and planned rides of both short and medium duration.

Please follow the links above to view our upcoming events, latest news or to contact us.

PLEASE - Send us your photos for the gallery page.

Why Spyder?

To quote one road tester, Tim Blair. "The potential market for the Spyder in Australia is immense. There's any number of former motorcyclists who crave open-air travel without risking contact with open-wound gravel."

Another said "Because it's a three-wheeler, the Spyder will go around corners faster than you realize, and neither rain-swept pavement nor oily freeway ramps will ever hold the same terror they do when you're riding a two-wheeler. "

And "Zero to 100km/h acceleration in 4.5 seconds is comparable with fellow two-seaters like the, er, Porsche 911 GT3 and Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. "

Just a few of the Spyder's features- 990cc Rotax V twin, ABS, Electronic brake distribution, traction control, vehicle stability system, dynamic power steering, rollover mitigation.
