    No Thanks.
    1200 miles in the cold to attend a rally at the wrong time of the year only to have it rain so I'm alone with no venders.
    No Thanks.

    Thanks for the reminder.....gonna get on the site now. We'll be trailering down this year again. It just makes things easier and less worrisome. We'll be bringing along some friends who are new to the Spyder.....I told them to have a clean credit card ready to melt....LOL. I believe they're looking for a trailer too.

    You should bring both rigs. Everyone wants to see them. Plus, you will be able to do that "trial run."

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    It's a tough call...
    I really dig the ride, and carting the bike just seems.... wrong to me.
    But it would save a ton on Hotel costs...

    It's not really all that bad of a ryde... give yourself three days to cover it, and you'll have no problem at all!

    Now that we have an Ironhorse WB Trailer, Linda always votes for trailering. It just so happens we have two family "events" over May 4-5; so we are going to pass this year. Last year's debacle(weather, break-ins @BWCH:cars & Spyders, and reduced # of vendors) made our decision easy. Really not fans of the timing of the event. The "Powers That Be" ignored all the input they received to move the event into better weather.

    Our hotel has been booked for quite a while and we have registered. We love going to Spyderfest, we work hard but still get to visit with all of our friends at the end if the day. This will be my 8th SF, I didn’t start riding until a month after SF 1 so I missed that one.

    Default Just curious

    What usually takes place at Spyderfest?

    I saw one comment about "no vendors". Just curious since I have been to two state rally's where most of the discussions were about [unnamed brand] motorcycles, and admittedly kinda boring. Another problem was that a lot of the people had been riding together for a while and while friendly, made me feel left out. However I went to one basically for anything but Harley's (dual sport, adventure and sport touring), and I had a great time. It had suggested preplanned routes, continuous evening presentations on such things as motorcycle safety, motorcycle riding, etc. Most important I found it easy to get into interesting conversations with people.

    Side note - I visited for an afternoon the national [unnamed brand] rally before I bought that brand. I was invited twice to join groups and I was not even riding that brand. So it may have been a function of the state group being far more close knit.

    "We'll be trailering down this year again"

    Smart move, but since I don't own a trailer, we will be riding down again.

    Where can I get more info on Spyderfest? Where in Springfield is it located? What is the motel/hotels of choice? Are there any planned rides?
