Great area, we love the mountains and I broke the wife from going "down the shore". Yeah, she's a Jersey girl. (exit 7).
Would love to make Lamonts world famous BBQ but don't know if we'll be there in time. And didn't sign up for it.
Meet folks who post here.
And lastly, I have to go back to work on 27 June. Been out since 1 April. 
I'll have plenty of food Bro even if you show up late. Some folks can't get here till after 5pm. I'll have a little fire going to roast dogs on too.

God willing this will be my first event. I wanted to make it to Cuba but had to choose between the two and being new to distance riding, the weather and time of the year was the deciding factor. Hope I meet lots of you guys and gals that have giving me so much of your knowlege and advise thru the postings on this forum. Thanks SpyderLovers.

SPYDER STALKER
Great friends..Great food...Great times.............

I am packed and ready to go
Big reason to go is simple----I have made reservations for a front row seat on the porch---just like last year.
GOOD BBQ
Get to spend some time with the Michigan riders.----- Before the 3 lakes in 3 days ride in August.
Last but not least------I ordered cool Michigan shirts ----which tells LEO I'm not from Florida.

Why we are attending the owner's event
Top four reasons we're attending:
1) We couldn't pass up another chance to ride the Dragon
2) We can attend Lamonster's BBQ and the owner's event in the same weekend
3) We're looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends and making new ones...it's awesome to see hundreds of other Spyders at the same time...compared to the four we normally see locally
4) Maggie Valley will be the starting point for 2 months of summer riding in hopefully cooler weather...we're going from Maggie Valley to the Adirondacks with all points in between. As docdoru says, it's "location, location, location."

Reasons - who needs a reason to ride.
But if to list why:
Missed SITS last year with failure just outside of Memphis.
Missed the BBQ last year. (see above)
Loved the area in 2009 during SITS.
Daughter is in Raleigh NC and I'm going there after MV.
10 days on the . Great start to the summer.
Man Wisconsin weather this spring has just s*ucked. Even if it does rain it's got to be warmer than here.
Oh and I have NEVER meet anyone more gracious in opening his home to a bunch of "strangers" then Lamont.
Very Happy Owner

Why I'm Going
It came to me one night in a dream .... Jim Morrison and a naked indian .. and Sammy Davis Jr. ... telling me I should ....
... But seriously folks ... I had been originally bent on making Spyders in the Adirondacks in July ... and I will make that event perhaps next time it rolls around. That said, from where I live, the roads there aren't as scenic or friendly to NY as they are down to TN/NC, and to get to SIA efficiently, one has to take some pretty dense suburban freeway until one gets north of greater NYC/NJ. Needless to say, there was no BBQ on the way. Plus, there were more people talking about Maggie Valley than SIA (unless you go over to SpyderTalk, of course).
Alas, I ate the registration fee for SIA and cancelled my reservations there for this year. Karma's better. Another Spyder RT-S owner and I will be linking in Front Royal, VA and schleppin' down to TN; then NC. I work full time so can only take on one tour d'force per year. Last year it was SITS ... this year MV; perhaps SpyderFest or SIA next year. In the meantime, see everyone in MV!

It will be about a 10 to 11 hour drive for us but we have some time free and I can't wait to ride with all of you that love riding your as much as I LOVE riding mine!!! 
One not so great moment for me in attending this event. My husband's Harley is in the shop and he will not have a bike for the next 2 weeks so I have to give up driving my and I have to be his passenger!   Unfortunately, I will not get to experience driving the mountains of NC myself unless I can convince him to be my passenger. Yeah, right.  Any suggestions on how to convince a husband to be a passenger?
Simple. "It's MY , now get your a$$ on the back!"
Honest.
My sister's hubby had his Harley in the shop recently, and it was ready to pick up. So Sam heads for Sis's car, while she is walking in another direction. "Where you going?" he says, and she replies "It's a nice day. I'm gonna ride my bike." Sammy rolls his eyes, but puts on his shorty helmet with flame graphics, and hops on the back.
Of her Spyder.
Her pretty, pretty PINK Spyder.
Yep. He sure did. He decided what the heck, I'll just have fun with it, and waved at folks like a pageant queen. They pull up to the Harley shop, and he's still waving and grinning like a fool.
Now, as for why I am attending, well, I had just purchased Clyde one Saturday last fall, and Sis told me about SITS. It was too late to take time off from work, and heck, I didn't even have my learner's permit, let alone my MC endorsement. I got the learner's permit the next Friday, and we went to SITS for one day - Saturday. So, we really missed almost everything, and we knew nobody yet, as we were new to the forum. It was nice to see the Spyders, but we were a bit lost.
So, this year, the event is near, the marvelous Lamonster is serving up 'Q, I still have my permit, and we had time to plan. So this will really be our first event!

I WOULD be going because of the location,the BBQ and because it's spyders! Chicago and LA were to busy. I think this one will have a more Spyderfest feel to it.
I'd love to run the Dragon and all the other awesome roads. Sorry i cant be there.
-
It's our first event, want to meet some of the great folks on this site. And, these here Yankees love good BBQ. Peace.

This is the first BRP event I will have been able to attend, your bar-b-ques are infamous, in my years of riding, I've never ridden the Tail of the Dragon and most of all I enjoy the Spyder camaraderie.
