Board of Directors

President: Brenda Cooper

I was born and raised in Michigan. I have been in Northern California since 1985. I bought my 2020 RT Limited just before I turned 60!! I have always loved and wanted a Spyder. When I joined Spyder Ryders of America I started out as a Road Captain soon after joining. Then I became the club Secretary and then the Vice President for a few months. I became the club President in September 2025. I am enjoying the friendships I have made in the past 5 years. I enjoy planning rides and the fellowship that we share.

Vice President: Brian Trombley

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 10 years old. Dirt bikes, enduros and street bikes. Many miles in the saddle. When I saw my first Spyder, about 15 years ago, I was so intrigued and wanted to take one for a spin. Well, fast forward to July 2024 and I bought an F3 limited and joined SRA-Sacramento club. For the first month of driving, I was not sure if I liked the ride of the spyder. By the 2nd month I could not believe how fun this was to drive and how much easier to handle than a 2-wheel bike. Needless to say, I love my spyder and the SRA Club. So, if you are thinking about a Spyder, drop us a line and I am sure someone in the club will take you for a ride and maybe let you drive one.

Treasurer: Stacy Preston

I have always wanted a Spyder ever since they first came out in 2008. I went and sat on one and was sad because I couldn't sit with my legs bent due to knee problems. When Can-Am came out with the F3 U-Fit I was so excited! I went straight to the dealership and bought my 2015 F3. I had never ridden any motorcycles before and my first ride was from the dealership to my home by way of the freeway. I was a little scared at first but riding the Spyder is very easy, comfortable, and fun. I joined SRA Sacramento and became part of a new wonderful family. I served as club Secretary for several years and am now the Treasurer. I have ridden over 80,000 miles on my 2015 F3 and my 2021 F3-T. I am excited to see where my next adventure takes me!

Trustee: Kevin Barone

I grew up riding dirt bikes on the Northern California coast. I quit riding as a young adult when I went to college and started raising a family. It was 20 years before I got back on another bike. I rode motorcycles for 10+ years before having to give it up once again (this time due to vertigo). In 2020, my wife (Rachelle) and I rented a set of Rykers in Bend Oregon while on vacation. We absolutely loved them and realized how much we missed riding. Within just months we had two Spyder F3s. I bought a 2015 F3 Sport and doubled it's 12,000 miles in just one year. As of 4/12/24 and 4/22/24, we have two new to us 2022 Spyder RT Limiteds. Ryding Spyders and then joining this club has given us back a life we had really been missing. We look forward to many more adventures and travels with our new bikes and this club!

Trustee: Susan Ballard

Hello I'm Susie Ballard-Braker. I rode 2 wheels since high school. In 2013 I gave up my Harley Sportster 1200. After a few years I was yearning to be back on a bike. But I had no one to ride with and felt like I didn't want to worry about having to pick up a bike. One day I saw a Spyder and thought that was so cool. I started looking for one. Then one day my daughter said I should join a group to learn some more about Spyders. So I did and that is how I joined Spyder Ryder of America - Sacramento Chapter. In fall of 2021, I ordered a 2022 F3T and waited and waited and waited. By July, still no bike and I was seeing the riding season slip away. On a hoot I stopped by Dixon Ride-On Powersports. There was a beautiful dark blue 2022 Sea-to-Sky! I bought her on the spot!! The great people in our group coached me on how to ride 3 wheels...lighten your death grip and put time in the seat. Last year I rode to Deadwood, SD with another lady from our group for the 3 Wheel Rally held there. It was a great experience and had a lot of fun. We plan to do it next year. I started out not having anyone to ride with and now have a bunch of great people to ride with and enjoy life. But most special of all, I met my husband Rob!! Who woulda thought??
