If it wasn't so far, heck, Teddy & I would join ya's
Hey, as long as your prepaired, there shouldn't be any issues, as long as the roads are clear of snow & ice
I just checked GPS & its a 3 & a half hour ryde for us, or we'd join you guys. Granted, the adjustable shield & the heated grips of the RT-S make for a more comfortable ryde than the RS, but if you dress approprietly for the conditions, you should have a good time Tho, I bet as many ppl that are look'n at the light display, will also be checking you guys out.IMG_20111206_154748.jpg

If the weather permits, go for it! One thing you might need to consider is if there is a requirement to turn off headlights as you go through, as some I've seen require. If so, you'd probably need to leave the Spyder at home.

Hey your reading my mind, I have some soft black carpet that was left over from the DB rebuild. Was thinking I would cut some panels out to cover up the headlights. Santa Claus is about 45 minutes from Evansville so going to trailer it up there and unload for the ride. To many dear out running from guns right now for me.

Great idea to go and participate. As mentioned above, if its not snow or ice on the roads--20 degrees is doable if you are dressed good. Riding pants and jacket with liners, good gloves, and I recommend a belaclava type helmet liner--to keep the frosty air off your face.
I rode through Santa Claus during the summer on my bike when I lived in Indiana in the 70's. I had to check the place out.
Have a great and safe ryde.

As far as the northerly ride goes, like was said, just dress for it and have a blast. As for us, James Island here we come! Oh, and on a regional note, there is also a drive through at Santee Canal Park as well.

We also have friends who live 3 miles from there. They can almost see Holiday World from their house. We could take our Spyder there when it was warmer and leave it and just pick it up for the drive through. You would be able to unload there also, they have 50 acres and it would be a safe place to leave our stuff.

You can use duct tape. One piece on on each light.

We would definitely do it if we were closer to you. I truly agree with the above quote. I'm ryding the on my own, and have done a lot of things I never thought I would. It's called living, and I want to do it to the fullest!!

It's this Saturday and next Saturday also 12/10 and 12/17. It's got to be this weekend for us. We have party the weekend of the 17th.
Although rather do ride then party where wife works. . There is two places to ride from what I hear, One Christmas Lake Village which is free and loops in and out of there about 27 miles. And the other is camp ground area which does cost but hear it's like Garvins Park display. Never done that one. Let me know what your thinking would work for you.

Garvin Park has one and its very nice. South off Diamond Ave on Heidelbach Ave. Cant miss it. Costs, but money goes for a good
cause. Thinking its Easter Seals.

Teddy's got his winter coat now, not to mention all his other winter ryde'n gear
I'm not worried about the pup, he's got it better than I do. Last Christmas, we did a trip from Cincy to Indy (100 miles one way) to get our Moto-Mate Camper at an RV show (for 1/2 off) & with his set-up, he was warm & toasty, as was I, except for my feet. We actually had to do the trip twice, 1st time was 12 degrees & second was 28. I thought my boots & thermal socks would do it, but I was wrong. Thought my toes were going to get frost-bite, so I kept wiggling them, & made it ok & learned a valuable lesson. Now I use those chemical boot liners for long cold trips & all is well once again.
What time are you guys meeting & can you give me a physical address or GPS coordinates so I can plug it into his Zumo & then I can really see if I can make this happen

I work this Sat. but will be off by 3:15 to 3:45. We would freeze our butts off but we would live. We don`t have all the fancy winter riding gear but we know how to layer, lol. Would look like the marshmellow man. If it dosn`t rain I am in. I could be ready by 5:30 at the latest.
