Lamont have you been able to activate the Tapatalk setting so Doc can reply yet? I know he uses tapatalk we he's out riding

[Mudpuppy2]

We met Doc, Forest & Wacky Dan Friday morning in lake Placid, NY. We all rode together for the day in the rain and had a GREAT time. We went up to Roberts Sports center in Malone in the morning so Doc & Forest could get an oil change, some good free hot dogs & burgers at the dealers and a new rain suit for Forest. From there we rode to the other Robers sports in Lake Placid for some more dogs & burgers and tee shirts. From here we continued on the poker run to get more poker chips to turn in at the Mohawk Casino on Sat. We were able to get six more stops in before darkness started to set in. At this point we went back to Doc's & Forest's hotel resturant overlooking beautiful Lake Placid for a couple drinks and snacks. On Sat morning we met at HoJo's at 8:30 AM and rode together up to the Mohawk Casino in Akwesanse, NY to complete the Rally. At about 2:00 o'clock the boys had their coffee an off they rode to california. Boy-O- Boy let me tell you these Florida Express boys don't let any grass grow under their wheels.

I will keep you updated and talk daily to Doc and forrest. Just got off the phone with Doc and he is heading to bed. I have no idea why he sounded so tired...LOL

Looks like the fellas have been at the same spot/area for an hour or so.... taking a nap?
Can't imagine why they'd be tired or hungry!!!

[Wheeler~]

The boys are eating dinner near Joliet Illinois after about a 7 hour sleep break. Their spirits are great! They sound revived and ready to get back on the road around 8:00 pm after suffering from extreme Midwest heat temps today. Forrest said he's happier with his '11 RTS than he ever was with his '08 or his '10. It's great to hear Forrest happy with his Spyder!! It speaks volume for the 2011 RTS. I'll update as I hear more.

I was always taught as a good biker to NEVER LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND. I think it is most disgusting that an event would take over a friend, letting Forest ride in the desert at night alone. Shame Shame.
A spyder is a fun machine, if someone wants to torture it, then just go out and smash it. It was not meant to take the beating that Doc and Forest are putting it through. I do not see anyone else responding about this disgusting ordeal. I would never put our spyder thru that or a friend. I think someone needs a shrink.

I think that Doc and Forrest are having fun. Your idea of fun and their's are obviously two different things. Forrest is a big boy and I bet that he gave Doc his blessing to go on without him. They are riding their Spyders which I don't think is "putting it through" a beating.

[dave01]

Such an attitude from you. I was in contact with Forrest all of the time and at almost every fuel stop. Who are you to judge people or Spyders anyway? Beating? Its called riding, obviously something you know little of. Forrest told Doc to go on because he knew all 3 of us would keep in contact. When Forrest or Doc wanted to stop, they did. I think you need to chill out some and come back when you get off your podium of judging others.

Maybe nobody else thinks like you do

[SteveMac]

You are 100% right. Someone does need a shrink. However it isn't Forrest or Doc... and to quote you,,, Shame Shame

I would agree with your first statement but add "unless both parties make arangments to do otherwise". You have no idea what they have planned and I guess you don't know Doc either or else you wouldn't have made that statement. The only one that has the right to say that would br Forest if he felt that way. I have been talking with Doc and they are kicking around plans to get Forest back safely seeing Doc won't be able to ride back on the Spyder.

I don't even know how to respond politely about your comment about the Spyder so I won't.

Mary Like its been said you don't know or understand either one of these gentelmen. They are the best of friends and neither one would put the other at risk. They would of discussed the situation and made a decision which was the best for each other. Everyone here has been keeping intouch with both parties so they know that each other are ok plus they keep in contact with each other all the time. I think you owe them an apology. Carol and John

PS Besides Forrest beat Doc to Eureka by 45min.We talk to him last night.

[Scooter]

Dave, We were on a short vacation and we missed some threads. I noticed that Doc's bike is still in the Reno area, did he blow an engine or something. After reading the other threads, I take it that Forest is not with him, where is he?? is he planing to finish the ride alone??

[dave01]

Doc has some issues with his Spyder. Its in Reno now. The best thing would be if they can get Doc's back on the road and the original plan of them finishing together would come true. If thats not the case, there have been many options I have presented to them, from trucking, meeting up with others, etc. Whatever they decide, I am sure it will be what is in the best and safest interest of both parties. Will update later today when I have some firmer info.

How do these bumps in the road affect the Aug 27/28 speed runs at Bonneville? Seth, if you are lurking, are you still planning to run at B'ville?
If no one is going to be there I'll need to change my plans and cancel reservations.

Doc and Forrest are at Corbins for some additions to thier spyders. Doc will fly home later today and Forrest will head out tomorrow, with the SPOT running for a relaxed trip home. Anyone want to head in that direction to meet up with him?

[Wheeler~]

I just got off the phone with Forrest and kudo's to the old fart. I honestly thought he'd turn around and come home after NY. In fact I had told him prior to the trip that was my prediction. His spirits are great and he's preparing mentally for the third leg of the ryde. God's speed home my friend and be safe!

[Spyder Cat]

If Forrest was passing thru our neck of the woods, we'd give him an escort!

Hats off to ya!!! We'll be watching your progress. Safe travels!!!!!

[dave01]

I believe he has settled on 10 east, which is a real boring ryde to me. Maybe 40, but its his choice.

[murphybrown]

When I last talked to Forrest yesterday he was just leaving Eureka headed to Hollister....have to admit I got a great as I looked at his shredded black garbage bag ryding b@#tch obviously loaded with clean (lol) clothes (will look GREAT on his new Corbin!!!)....trust me Forrest looked great...the bag? much the worse for wear!!!!

Dave, I thought Forrest was heading home today (Saturday) is he going to use Doc's "Spot" it looks like he is still in the Reno area or at least the "spot" is. How is he doing?

[dave01]

I guess he decided to stop and play some poker. Actually, he is near Bakersfield on I5 and the Spot wont connect to his phone. He left this morning from Hollister.
