All I can say is....niiiiiiiiiiiiice. The response has been very good so far...Keep the ball rolling and spread the word. I'd like for this to be bigger than the last Spyder event (Oyster Run).

We are but a few days away, and the weather forecast calls for PERFECT ryding conditions. Also, I contacted the BIG ROCK CAFE (our ultimate lunch destination) and they are looking forward to our arrival with our unique rigs.

Please join in on this great ryde on what will be a GORGEOUS day...

Actually, we were there looking at a wing/hack setup, and noticed it parked outside like possibly it was going out on or just came back from a test ride. We noticed you got one of InspectorGadget trunk racks.. I like the plastic hoses on the cross pieces! Gonna steal that idea!

See yall Sunday,eh?

Yup be there with bells on if the bike runs that long, lol....

That is 1/4" vinyl that I silt lenght wise with a little jig I made up. It is just a bit sticker than the power coating so things stay put better and it protects the finish.

See you then,

Eighteen Spyders! We made quite the spectacle out there on the road. Thanks, Joe, for setting up a great ryde. We had a blast. It was great seeing old friends, and meeting new ones.

The "official" photographer, our lady Seattle (Cindy) will, I'm sure, be posting up some higher quality pix. But here's one (hopefully it loads okay) with most but not all of the bikes. Cindy did a better job of lining everybody up to get all of the bikes in the shot.

Need to sort through the 350+ photos I've taken today to weed and toss the bad shots; based from a quick preview, I'll just confirm there are a LOT of those!

The two raw videos captured between myself and Joe will take time to edit and pare down to under 10 minutes, highlighting the most picturesque portions of our ryde.

It was terrific connecting with familiar friends as well as meeting the new people... which I hope we'll see over the summer for upcoming planned rydes. A special thanks goes out to both Lifestyles Honda for the coffee and donuts and Clem's Enumclaw Powersports for their generosity buying the group lunch .

Joe - Many thanks for being an awesome chauffeur... again.

And no, our Spyders don't look like that, but I don't have any 3D models of Spyders, unfortunately...

I had a great day, thanks for getting us all together! We have to keep it up now, I would love to do some overnighters, or at least day rides to Leavenworth or Winthrop for example.

I also want to thank Kevin (my salesman) and all the folks at Lifestyles Honda for the "Starbucks" coffee and doughnuts and Enumclaw Power sports for the great lunch. Randy is their mechanic and was fasinating to listen to and pick his brain.

I will try to get some pictures on line soon as well.

Regards,

Randy

I would also like to say wow that was a fun ride and seeing everyone from the Oyster Run and meeting new Spyder friends. I also want to thank Lifestyles Honda for the coffee and Randy from Enumclaw Power Sports for the great lunch and all the Tech Info he was giving us about our different Syders (RT/RS).
:yes: :clap:

GREAT shots, Cindy! You do an amazing job of capturing the essence of a trip.

(Now, if we can just get Letecia to wake up there, on the back of Ricardo's bike, she'll enjoy the scenery too!) :roflblack:

Great gathering! We wish that we could have attended but kids and sports consume our weekends. I did get to enjoy the great :spyder2: riding weather last weekend over here on the east side of the state :thumbup:. We look forward to riding and meeting other :spyder2: riders this coming spring and summer.

Cheers,

Would like to let everyone know I haven't forgotten about our video. I'm discovering – as a novice – that raw video editing can be a very cumbersome :shocked: and daunting process; the challenge is to select the best segments of video to be showcased under 3-5 viewable minutes with the two cameras that were used to record the experience.

I have a whole new respect for those who do editing on a professional scale for the TV/Film industry.

A wonderful tribute to a great ride. Our gal Seattle always does a fabulous job with her photo and video work! Looking forward to the next gathering!
