This past weekend, BRP Can-Am Spyder roadster owners from all over North America rode to Los Angeles for the Ryde to the Red Carpet event. This year’s annual owner’s event – the second for Spyder – was in celebration of the Spyder roadster role in this summer’s blockbuster hit, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Hollywood didn’t know what hit them, as 220 Spyder roadsters and 410 Spyder owners were parading around the Los Angeles and Hollywood streets for three straight days.

Most of the owners stayed at the host hotel, the Sheraton Universal. There was a buzz throughout the entire hotel as hundreds of Spyder owners were proud to spread the Spyder word. Roadsters even took over the parking garage as the whole first floor of the garage was for Spyder parking only! There were countless photos, stories and handshakes exchanged among the owners and their passengers.

The festivities started on Friday night, as more than 100 owners/riders on nearly
70 Spyder roadsters went to Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank for their famous car night. It was quite the sight as the Spyder Ryders expanded and took an entire section of the parking lot. Even Jay Leno made an appearance – not on his Spyder #001, but with a few friends in one of his many classic cars

After a couple of hours at Bob’s Big Boy, a big group of owners rode to downtown Burbank – another hot spot for great food and good times. About half of the owners that were at Bob’s Big Boy wanted to head home to get an early start to Saturday’s events. But there were a number that stayed out to experience the sights and sounds of Burbank, Los Angeles and the other great surrounding towns.

Day two started early with owners heading to the festivities around 7:15 a.m. They were welcomed by the Universal CityWalk parking crew with VIP spaces, right next to the action! With the 200 plus Spyder roadsters parked together, it was an impressive sight.
