Sorry friend, but when you speak of this Friday, it is a bit early for bike week. It starts on Mar 4 not the Feb 25.

However, you are most welcome to ride with us when we meet in Daytona, or other area's..
I think Louis sent you a message to call... Please do so and we could get together..

Have a great day and trip.

[johnnyg]

Were going over there the 12th, we sent an e-mail to BRP to try to get a ticket to ride around the speedway that Sat. Capt. Jim had sent an e-mail in also. If we can find the site again we will try to put in the front of the thread. JC

Well I may have to change my plans, now that there is the oppertunity to ryde on the track at the Daytona International Speedway.
I was supposed to go to the GatorNationals in Gville that day (March 12), but after seeing the track from the infield on the C2C ryde a few months ago---I just have to do whatever, to participate in this once in a lifetime event.
I have already gone to the BRP site and pre-registered and I am in hopes of being one of the first 60 participants.

You'll only be allowed to ride the lower track......still a blast!

[Blinc]

Man, I hate to miss all these rides with all you Hoolies.
Had the Tlif lower back surgery 2 weeks ago and my wife likes the fact that I am 1/2" taller now ;) (spacer, pins and plate). Neuro says 5 months for the fusion to take place and before I can ride, but I am thinking with a 3 wheeler I can ride much sooner since it's not like the bike can fall over etc....waiting for some feedback from our Spyder Doc. I will send him a copy of my scans soon.

So, I found this official definition of a Hooligan online:
Hooliganism refers to unruly, destructive, aggressive (http://www.spyderlovers.com/wiki/Aggressive) and bullying (http://www.spyderlovers.com/wiki/Bullying) behaviour (http://www.spyderlovers.com/wiki/Behaviour). Such behaviour is commonly associated with Can Am Spyder fans, particularly supporters of Spyderlovers.com (http://www.spyderlovers.com/wiki/Association_football). The term can also apply to general rowdy behaviour and vandalism (http://www.spyderlovers.com/wiki/Vandalism), often under the influence of Doc and Forest.

Seems pretty official to me?

Here is an agenda for those who wish to ride as a group to daytona.

Meeting Place... Bob Evans... I4 and US 27 : :clap:

Wed March 2 at 11:00 AM no plans for eating at this time.

Sat March 5 at 9:00 AM no plans for food at this time.

Sat March 12 at 8:00 AM also no eating planned.

Of course those who wish to meet along I4 after the above posted times,, YOU ARE MOST WELCOME.

[InspectorGadget]

JonnyG,
Any word on a meeting place or time for the ryde into Daytona on March 12th???
I will be departing Avon Park with a couple of other riders @ 6:30am, stopping at Cracker Barrel @ I-4 & US 27 for breakfast about 7:30am.
Departing CB about 8:15am depending on length of service there, and heading NW on I-4 for Daytona.
I think 1 of my other riders has to stop in Deland to pick up a passenger, so if Deland is the place we are meeting I can join up with you there if the timing is right.
I look forward to seeing all of my spyder buddies and we are espcially excited to get the oppertunity to ryde the track.

Right now I'm planning on going over to Daytona "possibily" the weekend of the 5th and 6th, Monday the 7th, Wednesday the 9th and definitely Friday and Saturday the 11th and 12th.

No, I don't think so. I had the opportunity to ride the track the last 2 years and I'm going to ride Saturday too. I think the Florida law applies. We can't go to fast, just depends on the bike in front of you. :spyder2:

Chris,
It looks like it will take us 1 hour from the time we leave Cracker Barrel to get to Sanford if traffic will allow. So 9:00-9:15 am would be close to the ETA for Sanford
I will call you when we leave CB and we can hook up. My cell is 863-873-7002
What exit are you close to and where would you like to meet. You don't just want to be setting on the side of the road waiting for us??????
Let mw know. Mary and I look forward to seeing you and Cindy again, and ryding the track:clap:
C-YA RL

[MouthPiece]

Did you wear one last year?

Yes mam. I sure did.:D

[MouthPiece]

R.L., there are three exits to Sanford. They are 101 (A), (B) and (C)

101 (A) exits to SR 46 A or what is known as Hugh Thomas Blvd. I'm 5 minutes from there.

101 (B) exits onto Toll Road 417 (not a feasible option)

101 (C) exits onto SR 46. There are gas stations, convenience stores, etc. and I'm 5 minutes from there.

Just give me a shout.

Chris

Forrest,
We are heading over on I-4, and we go north from CB to Ronald Regan Parkway (Dean Still Rd goes west & RRP goes east) and then pick up I-4. It's only a few miles, a nice drive, and is safer than turning the group around and crossing US-27 to head back to BE.
Let me know if you will join us. If not then we will definitely see you at BRP or the track.
Have fun and ryde safe C-YA RL

What time do you expect to be arriving at the track, and is that where you are going first??? Just looking for a meeting point in Daytona and not sure where everyone is meeting and when.
Our ETA for Daytona is 930-945a. Might stop at the Flea Market if we are too early for everyone else.
Let us know and we can make a plan. I'd like to ryde the back roads up to the North side like we did last time. That was a nice ryde, and Chris said he knew a good place for good fried shrimp -- yum yum.:thumbup:
Have fun and ryde safe C-YA RL

There's a fella by the first name Jim that I met today in Daytona. He's out of the Kissimmee area. He would like to ride with us to Daytona on the 12th. (sorry I can't remember your last name Jim). I told him about RL coming up the interstate from Sebring.

Hopefully Jim will follow my advice and see this particular thread on the forum. He is new to the forum and I suggested that he look at it tonight and perhaps coordinate a time that he could join RL's group.

Hope you do Jim.

One of the Florida spyders that we ryde with went up to Lake City to accompany Fred Rau to Daytona. Fred has created a video blog and in it he shows some of the mods on the spyders. You can see my footrests in the video. http://blog.spyderfred.com/ (http://blog.spyderfred.com/)

For the "RL Gang" that are coming up I-4 to Daytona, there is another fella, Rudy, who will be in Altamonte Springs. I told him about ya'll coming up I-4, and also, that I would be meeting with you at Don Pablos in Sanford. (I-4/SR46, Southeast Quadrant).

Anyways, I think he'd like to join us riding to Daytona AND perhaps "do the loop".

Rudy if you read this, I guess the best thing would be for you to be up in Sanford tomorrow (Saturday) morning around 9:00. We will be at a restaurant called Don Pablos. You get to it by heading up (East toward Daytona where you are in Altamonte) Interstate 4 and then taking exit 101 C, which will take you to SR46. You want to bear right when you get on 46 and Don Pablos will be immediately to your right. It may be a little tricky when you take that exit 101. It has an A, B and C. You want to make sure you get on C.

Hope to see ya'll in the morning.

Thank you all for the friendship that we have felt since we have been down here. We are looking forward to meeting more of you, and the rides tomorrow. We made a lot of new:spyder2: friends at SITS, and it seems to be the same here.
Thank You All,
Rudy

[InspectorGadget]

Mary and I finally arrived home @ 10:15pm after having a most wonderful day. We want to thank all of you that rode with us on the loop ryde. We made many new spyder friends and Mary and I both agree that spyder ryders are some of the most friendy people we have associated with in the motorcycle community.
The height of the day was being interviewed by Fred Rau under the grandstands and the ryde on the track----it was awsome for us to see the steep banking up close and personal.
I will post some photos soon, and we look forward to seeing many you at Cuba and/or Maggie Valley.
Have fun and ryde safe C-YA RL and Mary

i wished i could of been there on Spydy... But physically couldn't... Altho I did ride the Jeep out with cha all... Was nice seeing you all again...

Angie and I hit Daytona Beach when you all left for the track run... We had fun... Could of done without the ticket... :gaah:but thats another story...:yikes:

Hope to be back on the Spyder again soon to hit another get together with you all.....dan

[MouthPiece]

Cindy and I really enjoyed the Daytona adventure as well. RL and Rudy, I agree about the friendship thing. Cindy and I are still talking about it. I think that we all can say that we've been blessed. Another reason I'm truly thankful I got my spyder.

Sorry we couldn't stay for the race track ride. I just wasn't sure when the race would get over for us to ride. I had "grandkids stuff" that I HAD to make that evening.

See ya'll in CUBER (said like Teddy Kennedy).
