For those that are excited about the upcoming SuperGP on the Gold Coast- like Spyder Ryder is- Nikon has been announced as the replacement major sponsor, meaning the show will go on and be better than ever.

Got news today that there are new Spyder models being released soon in the US and Canada. One is specifically designed for touring and the other remains sportier. The touring one can even have a trailer. It is a definite Goldwing beater. As part of the extra model lineup and changes, a Blue and a special edition Pearl White are now available (still not as good as the Red of course). Check them out at spyder.brp.com Now when I retire and go touring I will have something to ride... who doesn't want Ipod intergration, cruise control and heated grips?

The SuperGP is coming up, 22nd-25th October 2009. This is where A1GP open wheel race cars and the Australian V8 Supercars take to the streets of Surfers Paradise for a four day motorsport festival. Make sure you book your tickets so you don't miss out. For more information on the event and for tickets click here. Get in early and book your Spyder tours, thrill rides or hire well before the event!

Found a really good review of the Can-Am Spyder done by motoaus.com A few good quotes
- "you can see straight away how ideal this machine is for those who can't or wont ride a motorcycle for some reason. Or those who want an extra dimension to the fun that is riding."
- "the more you ride it, the more you get into the flow of things" so so true
- "You can find a swag of Spyder tests on the net or in print. But none of this is really going to tell you if this unusual machine is a match for you, you really have to try for yourself." This is where we come in...
- "Just remember to hang on in the corners!"

Spyder Ryder Australia is a part of Southern Gold Coast- Pure Gold. The Southern Gold Coast is the less publicised, best kept secret of the Gold Coast. Southern Gold Coast features world famous surfing beaches such as Kirra, Duranbah, Snapper Rocks and of course Coolangatta. The Quicksilver Pro is held here every year late February- early March. The Southern Gold Coast isn't just about the beaches though with some excellent cafe's and restaurants, beautiful natural scenery such as rainforests, creeks and lookouts. All of the Southern Gold Coast is within a 5min drive of Coolangatta airport with flights arriving from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide daily as well as flights from NZ and Asia.
