Come on Indiana spyderlovers, make your reservations and go. This is THE spyder event of the year. (at least until the owners meeting:popcorn::ohyea:) There will be 700-800 spyders there and it will be fun.
Lets set up a caravan to go down. Most of us are going in on Tuesday, 4/23. It starts the next morning. Believe me, you need to make your lodging reservations now. It will fill up. One of the reasons they moved it from Cuba, was the lack of lodging for everyone.

The way I figure it we should easily be able to get 1000 Spyders at Spyderfest 2013. :firstplace: Pitbull Powersports is going to be ready for us So no limit on the number of Spyders and ryders that can go! Do I think that Spyderfest is the premier event of the year? :thumbup::yes::firstplace:

Toysinattic and I are ready to go. We are going to stay at the best westrn on the 24th to the 28. The night before we are going to stop at Rollo. I don't think I can manage a 9-10 hour ride in one day.

Sounds good. I think a bunch of us are planning on riding down together on the 23rd. You are more than welcome to ride with us and go as far as you want. Look forward to seeing you again.

A friend and I are debating this trip...
I am debating cost of trip vs. money that can go towards upgrades...
He is debating how long he really wants to ride... 9hrs is no fun... i told him we can break it up into sections... we can even go through St. Louis... Drive to Effingham.. spend an hour or two... then drive to St. Louis... spend the night even. Then first thing hit the stretch down to Ozarks!! of course stop and get breakfast along the way...

so many decisions!!

Working out logistics on going!
As an FYI... a good and easy place to meet on the Westside is the cellphone lot at the airport.....lots of room with quick and easy access to highway. Just need a meet-up time.

Hope you can make it.
Right now the plan is to meet at the Love's Truck Stop at exit 59, I70 West of Indy on Tuesday morning around 10:00-10:30. As the time grows closer we can get a head count. Champagne's east coast party is spending the previous night in Columbus and scheduled to leave there at 7:00. We think 10:30 is a reasonable time to meet. We do need to be ready to go when they show up and gas up.

Not sure I'll have my Spyder by then (I hope I do!) but if not, I'll be on two wheels. Or, someother mode of transportation. I'll know more as we get closer.

I'm Mike's (Spyder Fun) friend and we'll be in the caravan leaving Tuesday morning.

Just picked up my new 2013, Pearl White, RT Limited (with black seat) from RT Sales in Zulu, IN. SE side of Ft. Wayne, IN. Even though I took my trailer with me, I rode the Spyder back home... 150 miles in the cold and close to 100 miles of that in the rain. I kept getting knocked aound in the wind. As I learn to ride this I'm hoping it gets better. More to follow. Pictures, too.

:cheers: Congrats,Jerry. You will love it. Learn to relax those hands and let it lead. Its tough starting out in the rain. They say it takes a few hundred miles to start getting comfortable with the spyder. It's very different that a 2 wheeler.
Still going to spyderfest. ?

Yes I am... Will be at your house Tuesday morning ready to go. How many are meeting at your house? Do you get things worked out with the New Jersey group? I saw that they thought we were meeting them in Richmond. It should be a nice caravan.

Don't know how many yet? I will do a thread in a day or two to try to get a firm number. Things are fine with Champagne and the east coast group. Looks like 10:30 at exit 59 on I70 west.
