[wyliec]

Just remember, my spot is last in line on the ride.

Randy,

You're not wearing lace in your helmet, are you? Forget it; don't answer. I can see you with more than just a piece of lace hanging down out of your helmet.:yikes:

[vtrider]

I'll meet everyone in Vermont that will be coming up for the ride on Wednesday. I will then ride with the group back to Lake George after lunch at the Ice House. Lets hope we see more sunshine. Ride safe & have fun!

:cheers:

[Barbwire]

Woke up this morning to rain in Lake George and had second thoughts about joining up for the Spyder Ride. With a little pushing from Fencepost I was convinced we should head out and go for it. We met up with the group along with our 3 Furkidz and the weather was already clearing by the time we got there. We want to thank you all who planned and lead this ride, it was great! Beautiful scenery, good food and great company. Thanks also for letting Fencepost ride along on 2 wheels without giving him a bad time and for even letting him be in the photos.

I think it should be called "The Dragon Slayer".

My gf asked what the burning smell was on the way down. I said I was probably riding my brakes. Wrong. The next day the smell continued. When I got home I checked to find the new HID ballast had fallen through all the wiring behind the cluster and landed on the motor along with the wiring harness with the sealed box shape object, which I believe was a relay. The relay and wiring were cooked. That was the reason I only had one headlight on Wednesday.

I thought that was you in Saratoga Springs this morning.

[vtrider]

Well I made it back home in Vermont from the Americade ride. I had a great time for sure! I made some new friends and reunited with some folks that I haven't seen in some time. We had lots of laughs and some good memories to talk about. Ron thank you again for giving me a place to stay while on my visit in LG. Randy and Holly, you were great hosts as well. Thank you! here are some pictures that I have from the trip. Enjoy!

The ferry crossing at Grand Isle VT and the ride through the Islands.

These pictures were taken in and around Lake George. The ride up Prospect Mountain was awsome!!! Thank you Ron, Randy and Holly for taking me up there. This place has some great panoramic views of Lake George and the surrounding mountain ranges. Very nice up here!

Good to see you folks again! With all the new RT's that I've seen, I may be on one next year! Have fun on the rest of your trip!

[vtrider]

Does anyone have pictures to post from the Ice House Restaurant in Burlington that attended this ride? I left my camara in the spyder and missed out on taking pictures when we were there.

[somanyroads]

It was great meeting you guys at the campground! :thumbup: Hopefully next year I will be able to go on the ride with you?:f_spider: Nice looking Spyders! :D

Back home, good to see my old friends and meet some new ones. See you at SITA if not before.

The only picture I have was the waitress !!!! :roflblack:

[DynamoBT]

All the pictures are fantastic. It's like the rest of us are there vicariously. Nice to see all the RSs!!! I feel like the RTs are taking over the world sometimes!!

Glad everyone had a great time! The scenery is just beautiful!!!

[spyder3]

ok, well lets see that one! :roflblack:

[gmcgarrity]

Gail and went up on Friday but could not spend as much money as we wanted to.
Not to many vendors had stuff for the RT.

worth the trip to ride in beautiful country

1204 miles round trip from MD to Plattsburg NY and return

Saw 2 Spyder's near Otego and Sidney on Sunday:yes:

ride safe

Marilyn, Maybe you could join in the fun on some future rides. We could always use more New Englanders on these rides!

[DynamoBT]

This is my hope. It's hard for both hubby and me to do things because of our dog at home. But, one of these days, I need to bolster myself up and get out on these events alone. My Spyder has been 100% reliable. I should get some soft luggage and hit the road!!!!

[SpyderAnn01]

Beautiful pictures looks like fun.

[dannymax]

I took a ride up Saturday but traffic was really heavy so I didn't go downtown (already went thru one loooong traffic delay in Albany), so I sat in a parking lot on the south side of town and watched the bikes go by for awhile. There was one group of 10 or so :ani29:'s (RS's & RT's) that went by, we exchanged waves but I didn't recognize any of the bikes. Looked like a great crowd and I even saw a couple Harley's. :shocked:

Danny.........You should have got ahold of us before you left, we would have met up and made you dinner. :gaah:

[dannymax]

I didn't do my homework very well Randy....I was thinking I would just ride around till I found you guys but, of course, that was totally unrealistic. :sour:

The smells from all the BBQ joints reminded me I left home without eating and a burger or sausage (or even a handful of stale chips) would have really hit the spot....plus it would have been nice to hook up again. I'll plan better the next time! :bowdown:

[Spyderjockey]

Did I miss it? What did Randy win? :dontknow:

Sorry Randy.....I missed it too, but heard you won 1st place with your Spyder in the judging. Congrats to you, you really did do a great job on it......glad you won!!:thumbup:

Way to go Randy, a well deserved win! :thumbup:

I took alot of pics but my camera was set to high so they are to big for this website. I might have to put them in photobucket and post the link. I will work on something.

You can convert them to a smaller size with many of the available photo programs.

[arntufun]

You can convert them to a smaller size with many of the available photo programs.

I've tried to look on my computer for a progam to do so, but I'm not having any luck. Any free progams out there to help me with this issue ??? Do you know what is the maximum size allowed here ???

[vtrider]

Randy, All the pictures that I posted, I loaded onto photobucket and then added them to this thread from there. I wasn't sure how do do this directly from my camara. At least I never had success doing this any other way in the past. I'll have to check on the actual picture size.
