Hello Gang, anyone interested in meeting for a spyder-social event every other week? We have several great establishments we can frequent. It will give us opportunities to schedule rides, do a meet and greets and finally get the Indiana Chapter together.

Do we want to wait until the weather allows us to Spyder to the meeting (which looks like it could be sometime in June) - or - do we just want to get together for lunch (even it we "cage" to lunch) to meet and talk about the olden days when everything wasn't covered with snow?
I'd be up for a lunch meet soon...at least seeing all of you would restore my hope that Spring will, eventually, happen. Anyone else up for a lunch in the next week or so?

What I get for multi tasking, it's Trafalgar, where SR 252 and SR 135 meet. Best brisket I've had in Indiana, except my own.

Suggestion:
Patty doesn't disclose a city, but everyone except Retread seems to be at or around the north side of Indianapolis. If we were to pick a place convenient to the interstate...and perhaps on the West side, it wouldn't be too far for Retread...and I suspect we're going to be in his neighborhood a lot this summer, since the 'twistys' are mostly down south. Just about every exit off of 465 has a bunch of restaurants...if we opt for this approach for our first meeting, does anyone have a preference? Perhaps a place with a broad menu would be good for the first time. ???
Just typing out loud here...

I have a commitment from 1:00 to 2:00 pm that I can't get out of on Friday... I could meet after 2:00 pm.
Saturday and Monday are also looking good for Spyder weather, but I don't know how many of you (non-retirees) can break away on a Monday.
I know we can put this together.

Ordinarily I’d be available, but I’ll be in training on Monday. Will another day work?

I'll definitely be out on the Spyder tomorrow (with the exception of 1:00-2:00 for my appointment) as well as Monday and Tuesday (with no restrictions)...No special plans, but if anyone wants to meet up, I'm game. I'll be checking this forum but if you want to PM me, that's okay too.

Why don't you let everyone know where and when you're going to eat lunch tomorrow. Those who are available may show up.

I'll have to make it earlier than I might (because I have that 1:00 appointment I mentioned) so I think I'll shoot for 11:00 am at "Hotcakes" which is a full-menu "diner" just south of 86th street on Ditch Road. - I'll have my leather motorcycle jacket either on or over the chair next to me. Hope to see you there.

Spyder was down at flatout for servicing since tail end of November. they treated her for most part well...however today when I went to pick her up the battery was dead and I had to spring for a new battery... it wasn't dead when it got there ... but since it wasn't there for storage... they didn't have it on a tender... just my luck... 2 batteries and 1.5 hours later we finally got bike on the road... sorry I missed it...

Slagiatt (Richard), Trickie Dick (Dick) and me (Jerry). We discussed a few rides over the summer.

Trickie Dick and I (Slagiatt) have tentatively planned a ride to the dealership in Peru on Tuesday the 11th. If we go, I'm guessing we'll depart Indy late in the morning...it's about an hour drive one-way. Jump in here if you're available and interested in coming along.

I'll be checking with Trickie Dick and Funon3 tomorrow and will post our plans here in the afternoon or evening.

We'll be meeting at Trickie Dick's house (96th and Ditch Road) at 11:00 a.m. The "plan" is to visit the dealership in Peru, catch up with a few Spyder friends along the way, have lunch, and return...pretty flexible.

So far, the group includes Slagiatt (me) Trickie Dick, and Funon3.

I assume we'll be going up US 31, so if anyone wants to schedule a meet along that route, we can do that.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Hi I'm a new Spyder owner. I can't wait til the weather brakes so I can get some riding in. I belong to a group called IMG( Indianapolis Motorcyclist Group) in Indy. We have 4 or 5 Spyder owners in our group now. All types of bikes are welcome in our group.

Are you an Owner and if so, what do you have and where are you?

05-07-2014, 08:33 PM
Yes I am an owner. I have a 2014 RT Limited. I had a 2010 RT and just traded it in for the new one. I live on Indy's southeast side near Brookville and Post Rd. My name is Mike and my wife's is Gigi. I would be interested in putting in time to start an Indy Spyder Rider's group. Get people together, decide on a name and establish a club. We could start by meet at this bi-weekly event and seeing who's interested. Comments?

Slagiatt
05-08-2014, 03:16 PM
I'm mostly keying in on IMG rides now...would most definitely be interested in a bi-weekly Spyder meet-up group. I have an out-of-state commitment from May 21-28, but other than that, would be available for a ride and/or a meeting to see if we have interest in an on-going group with regular rides. However, I believe the history of these efforts (in Indiana) has been not too promising, but this is now...and who knows?.....shall we try again?

Put something together and who ever is available will show up. How about meeting for dinner or lunch at some restaurant and hashing things over. What say you?

Sorry I can't make the 24th...I'll be on a Spyder trip to the East Coast...(21st > 29th.)
Sounds like a great location for a meet, though.
I'll keep checking the forum in case the date is changed.
Have a great pancake!
