I wouldn't see why not, since that is both in Cuba, and where the festivities begin. Just make sure you have some to your hotel as well.

Riding there last year from Grand Rapids, MI we took 24/25 through Indiana and into Illinois. Use Google Maps and put in to avoid highways. Or take I72 through Springfield, IL then get off at Pittsfield. The road from there to Cuba is very nice 2 lane curvy and pretty scenery. Pittsfield would be a good stopping point for the night if you plan to take 2 days to get to Cuba. If you stop there is a hotel off the beaten track that is very nice and reasonably priced. It is called Monroe Street Suites. We stayed there once and really liked it as compared to the Green Acres Motel which is the other option in town.

Yeah, but the Rock Ride will ROCK your world!

My wife and I are registered for the gathering. We are #112/113. We are paid in full but do not have any documents/receipts to show we are paid. Do we need anything or will registration records be available at check in? Thanks!

They will have the record at the desk.

So, just bring photo id?

Does anyone know if you will have to have the motorcycle endorsement before they will let you take a demo ride? We're bringing friends to Spyderfest that are intersted but I don't think either one have the M endorsement.

[SpyderLady]

From what I have seen I do not believe a motorcycle license will be required

Usually at the demos riders with an endorsement do a demo ride on the road, but those without are limited to the orientation course in the parking lot, from what I have seen. BRP is unlikely to ask you to break the law just to take a demo ride.

We bought our registration from 3POD (IL) who can't make it, so you can remove him from the IL list and add
Explorer53525 and spyderloverx2 from Wisconsin.
Thanks!

My guess is Wild Hogs and Easy Rider. Complete with BRP Spyder commercials.

As long as it isn't GIGLI or The BLOB we will be OK!

Will it be like a Drive In Movie? I've always said that I'd love to ride my Spyder to the Drive In - I like to sit on the passenger seat and put my feet up on the handlebars - very comfortable. However, if I were to eat too much popcorn I might have trouble with the throttle when it is time to leave.

Don't forget Transformers 3. But only the first 30 seconds.

Thanks all,


Mitch

Mitch,

We have a group meeting in Beloit, WI Tuesday morning if you would like to join in. They will be meeting with another group in Bloomington, IL and maybe another in Springfield, IL. Here is a link that gives information about the schedule and meeting locations.

I will be heading out this Friday but you can PM me before then if you have any questions.

Ok folks, just asking if anyone thought about doing a blessing of the bikes at Spyderfest. I know it is too late for this year but perhaps next year. Thanks.
