    Default I'm overwhelmed.....again!

    We are closing out on one of the best weekends I have ever had--I am overwhelmed, but probably not for the reasons that you would think! (Trust me, moving a family and starting a new business-no sweat )

    i am overwhelmed at the amazing support I saw this weekend from that awesome group of people you all know as MoGang. They drove--many over 3+ hrs to see the new home of Spyderfest and check on PitBull Powersports. I cannot tell you all just how phenomenal this group is. Watch for their loud shirts at Spyderfest and make sure you meet as many of them as you can, and then you will be as lucky as I am to call them friends. We laughed, we ate, and had a great time. They were full of hugs, well wishes, and the encouragement that means so much as we are starting this exciting adventure.

    i was overwhelmed at the support the Ozark Community has already shown us. I can assure you Ozark allows us to maintain the integrity of the event, while giving you many different options on places to go and things to do. I believe as we get closer to the event you will start to see some activity from the Ozark community starting to welcome the Spyderlovers to the area. To say they are excited to meet you is an understatement.

    i was overwhelmed at the venues that have been chosen for this years event. I cannot imagine anyone will be disappointed!!!! I think a earlier post said something about pictures not doing things justice--I agree! The pictures are great, but until you see the places and start to envision Spyders everywhere--it's going to be awesome! I love to remember the first year and how things came together in less than 6 weeks--little did we know in just a few short years we would have the honor of throwing a party once a year for over 1000 of our friends. There is a reason why the week is second only to Christmas at our house. Our #2 kid missed being a true Spyderfest baby by 1 week! We love Spyderfest.

    i was overwhelmed again by my husband. To see what he has been able to accomplish at the new store is so cool! To see the level of detail and excellence he has put into this event is inspiring. It is important to him on a personal level that you have the experience you want each year. One of our favorite friends said to me once, "when I meet someone I make an acquaintance, when Len meets someone he makes a friend." This statement couldn't be more true. He's about as loyal and true blue as they come and I couldn't imagine getting to share in this journey with anyone else. I'm sure you can guess, I am ridiculously proud of him!

    There's still work to be done--but I am excitedly counting down the days until you all start your journey's to the Ozarks and we get to kick off Spyderfest 2013--The New Adventure. See you all there!

    Default Thank you

    Vanessa, I am still just getting to know you, Len and your family. From the first time I came in contact with you and Len two years ago on the Branson ride I to last Saturday I keep being overwhelmed by the sense of love and hospitality that is shown. The character that shows through in both of you is a testiment to the depth of faith you both have in each other and your God. My wife, Sara and I will keep you and Len in our prayers as you two continue this new adventure together.

    After lurking here for a while nearly a year and half ago, then finding our very slightly used Spyder in our own backyard, I knew I wanted Len to be MY dealer, no matter the distance. When I first met him, I knew he was 'good people', and integrity was a big part of him.
    Not long after we first met, all I wanted to do was to get involved with this crazy, energy-filled, magical group of folks called the MoGang!

    Our lives are richer for knowing you, Len, the MoGang, all the folks we've gotten to know, and all the ones we WILL get to know from this amazing family of people on SpyderLovers, and we are both proud to call you all friends.

    We'll likely be seeing you in a couple weeks, and are hoping for RYDING weather this trip!

    Vanessa,

    You and Len are so obviously the real deal that people just want to be a part of what you're doing. And you're both so much fun that it's like a magnet to others!

    I have sure enjoyed getting to know you guys and can't wait to part of this New Adventure!

    Default You are GREAT people...

    I remember ryding into my first Spyderfest..."older" woman, brand new Spyder/motorcycle ryder, headed from WA state to Cuba, MO...the closer I got the more "concerned" I got...what the heck was I getting myself into..then since I live to not allow fears to stop me I worked hard on staying focused (my final I can do this was to tell myself remember if you don't like Spyderfest or the people you rode in you sure as heck can ryde out). When I arrived I hung back (yea, yea I know that doesn't fit who I am)..watched and checked out the "head" people. So many smiles, so much positive enthusiasm and then I met Len...as a business developer I liked his energy and type A personality..but also thought hmmmm wonder if this is the real deal or just a persona. Then I met this gorgeous very pregnant lady....sweeeeeet, calm and real....the I connected the type A to the calm one and said hmmm this lady would never be married to someone that doesn't have as his core high integrity. And I can say that all my concerns were gone and trust me you and Len are the real deal...Awesome people with awesome values that you live in all your dealings. I count it a privilege and HUGE BLESSING to have met and connected with you and Len and those precious awesome kids (and the pup ain't bad!!)...anxious to see you again in a few weeks at Spyderfest 2013.
    Soooo excited and continue praying for your new life adventure and all the work and stress involved. BUT you are the Queen of Adventures...
    Hugs to a special lady and ok a hug for your man also

    This is one big family, a little dysfunctional at times but still a family and Len has shown what can be done when you have a vision.

    Yes but we put the "FUN" in dysfunctional
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    All I can say is "DITTO" to all the above! You two are so obviously genuine when dealing with people. That kind of caring only comes from the heart, and that's what really draws people to you. We are proud to be members of MoGang and consider ourselves blessed to be your friends and part of such an awesome group of people. Praying for you everyday that your new business will be a great success (no doubt there)and that God will bless us with awesome weather and safe travel for everyone attending the SpiderFest activites. It's going to be amazing, and you can count on us to be with you all the way! Let us know if you need anything.

    There is an old expression, "You Reap What You Sow". It is never more evident here. You and Len have planted the seeds of Friendship, Trust and Integrity just to name a few and now you are reaping the rewards. We are honored to be friends and part of this magnificent adventure.

    Vanessa, I'm not as eloquent as the others, but what others have said is true. Good people, draw good people to them. The MOgang is an example.

    You and Len are the real deal and your kids are so blessed to have both of you for their parents.
