Would anyone be interested in meeting somewhere to enjoy a meal & see a parking lot full of Spyders?!?

Not necessarily all ryde together - but ryde to a location so we can all meet & maybe chat a bit?!?

Anyone?!?

We are in the York area and would enjoy meeting up with other PA ryders.

Burg - not sure where or when. Wanted to get a feel for who might be interested.

I think a Saturday in June might be nice. Open to suggestions on location - but, I was thinking somewhere central in PA. We are near York/Harrisburg.
State College, maybe?

7/25 is the Bucks County Covered Bridge Ride...

Sorry I haven't posted anything recently regarding this - we were out ryding the last several days.

State College is central to most of us - it's still a bit of a ryde (it's about 2.5 hrs for us).

There is a restaurant in the area that we have been meaning to try:
http://www.kellys-steak.com/content/home.php
Located at 316 Boal Ave, Boalsburg, PA 16827

We (my hubby & I) are thinking an early afternoon meet-up so we can have time to meet, eat, photos and not be too late leaving for the trip home.
Date potential - June 19 (Father's Day is 6/20) or June 26 (same weekend as Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown - sorry).

If these days don't work...maybe we can look at July dates.

Let me know what you all think - and who would be in for which dates.

Boalsburg PA is too far for me to do a one day ride and both of the dates you posted for June not good for me, 19th is weekend before the BRP event and if I am going have to get Spydie ready that weekend.

Just a reminder to those looking for a destination ride. We are having a barbeque cookout for our Triumph and Spyder riders who are attending the Thunder in the Valley rally in Johnstown in June. It will go till around 8ish Saturday night after which we're all riding into the city to catch some of the free entertainment.

I'm making a decision to go with June 26th.

How many people can make it Saturday, June 26th?

Will Boalsburg work for everyone? I'm thinking lunch around 1:30pm.

Who's in?!?

If we don't have a lot of response for that date - I think we might need to look into July.

I live in Chester Springs Pa. We are leaving on a trip on the 27th, but I would love to try and meet up with the group on the 27th. I need to figure out where everyone is coming from, but it sounds like fun assuming I can get my packing and so forth done by the 26th.

I probably could do it, but with our trip on the 27th I think the six hour back and forth might be a bit much, otherwise no problem.

We are away from the 27th-July 4th but i would love to meet up with a group of fellow spyder riders.

Why does Pa. have to be such a large state!

Last year, I found myself at a very large bike rally at the Ephrata Cloister- There were at least 2000 bikes of all kinds. I cannot remember when it was or even if there will be one this year but I was one of 2 Spyders there. That would be a cool place to meet!

There used to be a Sunday breakfast that the American legion put on for bikers. My scooter club-I used to ride a Silverwing and still belong to the club frequented the place.

That is where I saw my first Spyder and decided I wanted one. It is about 1.25 from me or so.

But...my husband and I took a not overly long ryde today - and it made me realize that I really can't ryde my Spdyer 2.5 hours one way right now.

I'm not going to be able to ride all the way to State College until I get highway pegs. The bike got too hot on my leg and my hip starts to hurt. I desperately need to stretch my legs out on long trips.

So, if we could find a closer location (if you all can ryde longer?) or put it off for a bit.

What do you all think? I know some of you could only make it if it was in the State College area (or close).

I really hate to ditch out - but, we only went to Hershey (got stuck in stopped rush hour traffic) and I was hurting.

Any suggestions?

I cancelled my Spyder that was ordered at a dealer in York, Pa I got tired of it not showing up. I am flying to Cowtown,USA(Missouri) on Wednesday to buy one and ride it home next weekend. 1000 miles. I won't be able to make 6/26, but after that I will be ready to ride!

Have you tried Performnce East in NC? I had called them just before I bought my Spyder used last year. However, he quoted the best prices I had heard. For an additional 300-400, you can hire a private trucker to bring it to you- Even if just to check the price, it is worth the call.

Hay fellow Spyders:spyder:

In the Efferta ( yuo know where I mean) area there are 2 breakfast, one at the American Legion on I think the 3 sunday of the month, but I think it is over for this year and will start up in spring and another at the Lawn fire company of which has ended also but will start up in the spring.
:dontknow:, don't know of others. There will be the Allentonw toy run in November and also Phila. I will be going to the Allentown Toy run in November if any one is interested in going, will be leaving from the Underground Biker in Palm, Pa. A place where Spyders GO:clap:
