[Trickie Dick]

I'm in.:clap:

[SpyderFun]

Count me in....as long as I'm not n vacation. :thumbup:

[StriperKing]

Depends on the date but we are interested.

[retread]

Looks like it's going to be in June, I'm headed to Rolling Thunder next week, then into PA to see my mother. Give me an idea of when you're available and we'll try to plan so we can get the most people.

Sorry I am replying so late but the only plans we have for June so far is my wife`s class reunion on the 11th.

[steelers58]

Sounds great but it depends on the date. The third or fourth weekend would be best for my wife and I.

[retread]

Right now, I'm kinda thinking the 18th, any takers?

john

[StriperKing]

18th works for me. Wife has a bridal party but will try to get out of it but I am in with or without. I figure she will make it. She loves to ride! Would love to meet some local Spyder folks.:ohyea:

[Trickie Dick]

I'll be going to Lamonts and Maggie Valley that weekend. I'll catch it next time.

[retread]

I'll hang on to the 18th for now, might set up for the 25th, I'm pretty flexible on schedule and would like to see a good group get together.

Okay, the 25th, meet at Flatout, SW corner of 37 and 44, 9 AM, we'll spend some time there, then leave around 10. To Bedford, then Shoals for lunch, then Nashville, and regroup, then probably a run through some good roads in Brown County.

Well, there's some straight ones, and down in Yellowwood, there's some that are only good for Humvees.:ohyea:

[StriperKing]

Sorry but we will not be able to make it. We will try to make it next time. A good friend of mine is having a fund raising ride this Sat. for a great local cause that we feel we need to support. We also have some things we need to get done because we leave for vacation the next friday and riding close to home works better this weekend. Again sorry to back out on such a late notice. I will make a post to see if anyone else in my area would like to ride. We are only 8-miles from kentucky.

Not sure if your opposed to non-locals joining in, but if you list an actual address or gps coordinates, (my apologies if I missed it) others can see exactly where your talking about to see if they could make the meet-n-greet as well:thumbup:

If that's the place, Teddy & I are only about 125 miles away, & we love road trips & meet'n fellow SpyderLovers:thumbup: if you'd be interested in having us join & show'n us around your lil neck of the SpYderWoods:dontknow:

Hope to see you guys there. Here's the location. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=39.43048,-86.396917&ll=39.430923,-86.394939&spn=0.007027,0.01929&sll=39.430923,-86.394939&sspn=0.007027,0.01929&num=1&z=16

:yes:What a great day of SpYderRyde'n :yes: Was awesome to meet so many new SpYderRyders :2thumbs:

We took the long backroads way home & I discovered so many new parks & great Ryde'n spots right in my own back yard:clap:

Thank all of you for show'n us around, & we're look'n forward to it again.:yes:

I'm dead tired, think we did over 600 miles today, gonna crash soon, but I'll get the photos I took posted tomorrow:popcorn:

[retread]

I think I'm going to have to ride more, just a little stiff. ;)
Shall we do it again? Different route, different things to do.
Teddy had more company than usual, 8 of us escorted him almost 200 miles thru the wilds of southern Indiana, that's after he came over 100 miles to see us. Thanks Dave.

[Amanda B]

Well, I totally blew that meet. I have been very busy and haven't been on here for quite some time. I would be interested in meeting sometime.

The ride was Awesome. You guys Rock. I am a little embarased about having such a hard time keeping up on the twisties. It struck me as odd that you guys were cornering so hard. After pondering about it I realize you southern guys ride on twisties everywhere you go. It is second nature for you to go fast around corners or you would never get anywhere. We up here however have well... no roads like that. We just pretty much go in a straight line and seldom have curves that go a full 90 degrees. Come on up on a snowy winter weekend and we will see how you fare on our ice covered roads. Maybe I will feel better then. (kidding of course) I have to say that after the ride I have had much more confidence around corners. I put in 590 miles that day. I was stiff for a couple of days, but kept riding. I have improved my flexability and can ride even easier now. I think since I can't keep up on corners. I am going to do something crazy like ride over 1000 mi in a day or something so I don't feel like a woos

Any thanks for the great ride, and for the patience

I grew up in Michigan, and spent a lot of time in places like Maine, Nova Scotia, northern New York and Quebec, so I do okay on snow, just don't like it much.;)
Hopefully we'll be able to get something going for Shipshewana, maybe we'll see you there.

Ha

Shipshawana is plenty close for me. I would be happy to meet there. I can't say we have any really cool places here to see unless you guys want to do amish acres or something. Michigan has a lot of beautiful roads and places to drive (just a hop skip and jump from here) but they do have a helmet law. (I know that doesn't bother either of you... and I am fine with it to.

Anyway.. You guys go for a run up this way... I am in

[rcdurango]

I didn't get on board on that one, but would love to join in on one soon. Headed to Michigan at the end of August on vacation. Anyway what's the best way to follow these rides in Indiana? Got lucky and found this one but to late.

Just check this Indiana thread. We will post any rides that we do here. I'm sure we will do one soon; probably in September. We generally head south so we could meet you somewhere.
Since you are going to Michigan, you might want to check the Michigan thread. There is a ride called 3 lakes in 3 days that about 20 or so people are doing. I am heading up on the 11th to take part. Let me know if your interested.
BTW, I just got your "friends" request. It is a pleasure, thanks.

[SpyderFun]

The Indianapolis Motorcycle Group (IMG) http://www.meetup.com/indymotorcyclist/ has several riding events during the warm weather season. They also do a weekly get together here on the north-side of Indy @ Wolfie's (off of 96th & Hague in Fishers) its Wednesday nights around 7pm.

[rcdurango]

Thanks for the info. I keep checking back and hopefully catch the next ride.

[SpyderGirl]

My mom and dad purchased their RS-S in late April from Flat Out and they are looking for local Spyder ryders who want to get together for regular rides. They are located in Danville. Anyone interested?

[retread]

Always interested, trying to get something going down by Evansville, river ride maybe.

Evansville is a bit far for them. They are looking for something more local to their west / central Indiana area. But you never can tell.

[retread]

Evansville is pretty far for me, I'm on the south side of Indy, but I want to check it out, I hear the river road is pretty good.

Congrats for them! :clap:

Sorry but I moved from Danville to Fishers. :(

You may want to tell them about the Indianapolis Motorcycle Group (http://www.meetup.com/indymotorcyclist/) they usually has a lot of riding events during the warmer season. Good way to meet other bike riders and ride within a group of similar motorcycle enthusiasts!
