St.Cloud Law Ride - Blue Knights FL - January 26, 2013
The dignitaries of Osceola County and the St. Cloud Police Department were so impressed with the results of a short notice effort to help one of our St. Cloud Motors Officers in August 2011, they approached us to make this an annual event. Now, the First Annual Osceola Law Ride has been born. Ride starts in St. Cloud, Florida.
Meet up with C2C chapter at CFPS at 8:15 AM to stage to ryde in together so Spyders can be a single pack on the Ryde. You can download registration form from website and fill it out in advance to expedite your registration once we get to the ride site. This is a 77 mile law escorted (non stop) ride. There will be vendors/ food etc avaiable at the beginning and end of ride.
This would be a great time to bring some food items to CFPS for the Second Harvest Food Bank benefit that will take place February 23, 2013.

I just purchased a new Spyder RTS trike last weekend and I've noted a problem with heat hitting the right side drivers foot. It gets “Very uncomfortable” to the point where I can’t keep my foot on the peg all the time or risk getting burned and I can’t believe this is normal from the factory. I've been made aware that there are after market fixes for this, but the way I look at it is after market fixes are alright for a used bike, but I’d feel better if this were addressed by the factory as it seems to be a definite manufacturer design flaw with their trike. So, I gave BRP a call ( 1-888-864-2002 ) and explained this scenario with the heat on my brand new trike. They opened a case file and asked that I bring it back to the folks at Central Florida Power Sports where I purchased the new trike to get an official inspection report from an authorized service center, which I will be doing this weekend in hopes of a permanent solution.
I've been riding motorcycles and other recreational vehicles for over 40 years and have never experienced anything like this before, so I'm curious to know if this is a common issue with "all Spyder's" and would appreciate other owners input on this subject. Thank You
