Lamonster BBQ- Ride Day

[Lamonster]

What a great day we all had. I think the count in the parking lot of the BP was 96 Spyders

We had police stop traffic for us as we left to parking lot (thanks RC) and headed toward Hot Springs to split up into groups. That really worked well and I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time. I didn't get home till 9:00 pm and then had to weld up a broken front fender mount and that took 2 hours and then I had to catch up on my day job. Got another 3 hours sleep so that makes 6 for the last 48

Anyway I wanted to thank you all for a great time yesterday. If you had a great ride too how about posting that here? Thanks

I was one of those 96 and also one of those whose day ended after dark with a smile on my face. What a great day. Beautiful weather, exciting twisters, Nanny (VSS) came to my rescue twice which I appreciated, great people...what else could one ask for? Looking forward to another great day at Lamont's today enjoying the company and looking forward to that Tn BBQ! Thanks Lamont for a great time ...your event is on my yearly must do list.

I had a great day riding! I started and finished the ride. Riding was great and the people were great along with the weather! My favorite was the Hellbender, I was behind Lamont and Eddie and was really able to run thru the Hellbender...haven't had that much fun in a long time! Thanks everyone, especially Lamont, for such a great day!

What could only be described as a spectacle, was a sight to behold.

For some that may have been to an owners event, or Lamonts in the past, you know what I'm talking about, but this was our first time, and it was worth the effort to see all these bikes together in one place.

Leaving the parking lot under police escort was a nice touch Lamont, well done.

The Wheels Through Time Museum was awesome. They have a couple hundreds bikes from all brands and breed, dating back to the turn of the last century, and they ALL run! Check them out online. They also have a TV show coming out soon, stay tuned.

The tour through the park was unbelievable. The Ryde of a lifetime. We ran a stretch through Pigeon Forge, where there was an annual antique and muscle car show going on along the main drag, but guess who go all the attention as we rolled through? That was fun ryding in a pack like that down "bring and brag" alley. I'm pretty sure we stirred up the crowd a little as we passed.

We were there for the whole thing as well, bell to bell, and wouldn't have had it any other way.

Big "Up's" to Harvey for coming out, it wouldn't have been the same without you.

On the last stretch of the Ryde, the buzz home on the parkway, one of the three guys in front of us lost a part. I tried to snatch it as it bounced past the bike, but I couldn't reach it. Looked like a light housing of some sort. We were rolling at 60 mph, so there was no chance of stopping. Hope it wasn't something important.

Big thanks to Lamont on all of this. It's a massive undertaking hearding all these cats for three days, and he's so laid back and cool about it all, he makes it looks effortless.

It has been great meeting all my Spyderlover friends too. Mr. Orange, Bruiser and Baby, Dave and Teddy, and many, many new friends. New roads, new friends, and memories for a lifetime.

Thanks to everyone for contributing to such an awesome day. Something we will never forget.

Now, where's the BBQ?

We live in the area and saw stuff we have never seen. Thanks for a wonderful day! Fencepost lead the sightseeing group on the Rattler and we hope those folks had an enjoyable ride as well. This thing is only going to grow if you will have us again!!!!

Thanks for putting this on. Had a good time

The Rattler, Hellbender, The Dragon and Blue Ridge Parkway all in 1 day! Absolutely AWESOME!

Wheels Through Time is an amazing place. And just like the ride, you just don't understand how good it is unless you've been there.

Beautiful weather and a lot of great attitudes. Tons of Smiles and quite a few Miles!

Thanks Lamont for one more great year and another great BBQ!

[cjackg]

What a great event.... We just got home to Chattanooga an hour ago. On the way we ran into Yazz in Knoxville fueling up on the way to TX... The whole event was another great spyder experience. We got to spend time with a lot of old spyder friends but also made a lot of new friends that we hope to see again soon. A huge Thanks to Lamont for inviting us all to share his home for this event!

The Rattler, Hellbender, The Dragon and Blue Ridge Parkway all in 1 day! Absolutely AWESOME! What a ride! More twisties than I have ever rode in one day. Lamont you really did a great job. I have to say I was dragging butt when we got back after 9PM. But was well worth it. Thanks

I've posted in other threads about the weekend and will post here also. The whole weekend was absolutely fantastic , enjoyed every day of it. Met a whole lot of nice people , got a lot of good tips about the bike and had a great BBQ meal and also the burgers on Thurs.. The days ride tho was the absolute best , had ridden all those roads before but not the "LAMONT " way of riding. FANTASTIC !!!!! Anyone that missed it missed a whole lot of fun times.
