SpyderLovers Meet in Daytona!-Updated

[Lamonster]

Update-

SpyderLovers meet at the Hess gas station around 11am on Sat. 2-28-09 and the following Sat. 3-7-09 at the same time. I looked it up on the map but I think they have it wrong. If you get off of 95 onto International Speedway Blvd. (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=ilG&ei=f7CRScPQI9CCtweilaTXCw&resnum=1&q=speedway%20blvd&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl) and head east the Hess station will be on the right (south) just before you get to the race track.

From there we can head over to the Cam Am Spyder tent at the race track and if you like we can take a little ride over to Corbin (http://www.corbin.com/ormond.shtml) in Ormond Beach and then to Rossmeyers (http://www.brucerossmeyer.com/) Harley where most of the action is and No Magic Neon (http://www.nomagicneon.com/spyderbike.html) is setup.

Hope to see you all there. :doorag:

Well my last trip to bikeweek ended up costing me 15k, that's when I decided I had to have a Spyder. But I'd be up for whatever everyone decides. I'm not too far away and the in-laws are local so I can make it up pretty much any day that week. :2thumbs:

[mike3069]

Count me in!

[Magic Man]

We'll be there set up at Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona off exit 273 of I 95. If you're there stop by and see us.

Depending on when you all get together we'll try to come if we can get free.

[docdoru]

I'm pretty sure BRP will be at the Race Track ...

I'm ready! :popcorn:

[LittleJohn]

Guess it's not too early to start making plans. I'm pretty sure BRP will be at the Race Track and maybe I can get them to do something special for us if we get a good size group of SpyderLovers to show up on a certain day.

So who's in? :dontknow::popcorn:
I will arive there with a roup of friends the evening of the third, and be leaving the morning of the 7th. If I can make anything planned, I would love to meet a few of you!!!

[chasbadger]

Ok lets pick a day. I don't know about you others but I have to work during the week so maybe a Saturday or Sunday, maybe the first weekend or the last Saturday The last Sunday everyone is packing to go home. let's keep in touch so all of us can go and meet in a chosen spot. Hope to see a lot of you there whenever.

[sleepman]

Ok lets pick a day. Most of us has to work during the week so a Saturday or Sunday maybe the first weekend or the last Saturday let's keep in touch so all of us can do and meet in a chosen spot.

I'll vote for the first Saturday. I'll probably head up on Friday so if anyone wants to do a little riding that day I'd be in also.

[LDFIREWORKS]

first sat.works great, everything will be going on by then we need to think about where to meet, a good place maybe near jp cycles that is where nmn will be set up see what you guys and gals think ????????:2excited::spyder::spyder::spyder:

If you would like, we can meet close to where I am and ryde over to the coast.

J&P Cycles is off Exit 273 of I95 right behind Rossmyers Destination Daytona Harley.

There are several hotels right across the street. However these tend to be big $$$$ during bike week and book up fast if not already.

MM

[effgjamis]

thanks magic..

[Monique]

I will be there for the first two days only.
Looking forward to seeing as many SpyderLovers as possible :2thumbs:

[LDFIREWORKS]

how about if we meet sat @jp cycles thats where nmn [evan and crew ] will be set up selling there goods let me know what you think??????:2thumbs:

[sleepman]

how about if we meet sat @jp cycles thats where nmn [evan and crew ] will be set up selling there goods let me know what you think??????:2thumbs:

Just my .02 cents but I would suggest that we meet up somewhere outside of town for a quick meet and greet and then we can all ryde into Destination on our own. If you've never been there Destination Daytona where JP Cycles is gets incredibly congested. It's gonna be hard to find each other if we're not with our Spyders and the parking areas out there are away from the vendors.

[LDFIREWORKS]

i am such you are very right that idea was me talking without thinking great idea:2excited::spyder::yes:

[Lamonster]

I'm thinking maybe the Hess gas station near the race track. Then we could roll over to the Can Am tent

[LDFIREWORKS]

that is a great spot why did i not think of that first your the man

Good luck with BRP when we were over for Biketoberfest we were on our way to the track to check out their tent as we were waiting at the stoplight to turn in a bunch of spyders pulled behind us and beside of us we just got in line an followed them in. After we got in and parked infront of there tent one of the guys came up and said we had gotten in the middle of the ride and was very rude and told us we would have to answer to the cop that was at the gate when we leave. We walked over to the tent because my husband had a few questions no would we even speak to us very rude people. No ever asked how we liked our spyder. So we waited for the next test ride to leave and followed them out the cop asked no questions. Love our spyder but had we gave so rude people our money.

They were probably the guys that BRP hires to run the demos at the events, not fulltime BRP employees. Truthfully, at the Michigan Spyder event I went to last summer, those guys weren't bending over backwards to make me happy either. They were friendly enough during the event but when it was clean up time, they were semi standoff'ish. And they had a screwy policy for their SE5 demo rides. Basically, if you weren't one of the first 5 people to sign up for the demo, you couldn't go. :dontknow:

At Mid-Ohio this summer it was much the same. Most of the crew was area dealer staff...in training. One or two veterans, and a bunch of rookies. Some had never seen the Spyder until the week before.

Wow, when I was there for Bikeweek the staff was actually very helpful and kind. Ran into them downtown at night after the demos were over and they were all really nice.

I will say this in their defense, when it comes to the demo rides getting mixed in with them can get you into an area that you shouldn't be on your bike. The manufacturers are responsible for following the event rules at the track and can get into trouble if they're allowing people to be places they shouldn't.

[LDFIREWORKS]

:agree: but you need to come to bike week anyway and we just will not go see those a-holes:spyder::spyder:will show them

[LDFIREWORKS]

:agree:

Hess sounds good to me I will be coming with the wife if all goes well. I know where the Hess station is, arriving about 10:30 or 11:00 Sat morning hope to meat some of you :spyder:riders. I go each year and buy a hat or two look around and then go home that makes a long enough day for me we come from Port St. Lucie FL. about 150 miles one way.

It will be nice meeting you all

How about we meet both Saturdays at 11am or so? That way everyone will get at least one chance to meet.:doorag::spyder:

2.28.9 and 3.7.9 @ 1100

[effgjamis]

Is there a motel close to the area? Or any recomendations just off 95 ?
Both Saturdays..... Great...

Thanks

[sleepman]

Thanks

There's a Holiday Inn just down the street, but it'll be pretty expensive during bikeweek and may even be sold out by now. My suggestion would be to just head over without reservations, you'll be able to get something on Atlantic Ave cheaper by just walking in. They'll have plenty of vacancies.

[Lamonster]

Best to call around now if you plan on going. I stayed 50 miles away last year and had to ride back in some bad rain a few nights. I won't be doing that again.:sour:

[effgjamis]

Thanks for the info... now to get a tel list .... I guess the bikeweek web site has a list.. so will look there..

Thanks again...

That'll be cool I look at the first Saturday I Believe the 28th. 11:00 will be perfect that'll give me an hour there from my home. I ve invited two other Spyders hopefully they can come also.
:spyder:

[spyderbob]

We live about 20 minutes away will be there also.

[bdspyder]

Hey guys

Im new to Spyderlovers and just got my :spyder:a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it and have already started adding stuff to it. I acutally live in Deltona, FL which is about 25 min south of Daytona and meeting up sounds like a lot of fun and a good chance to meet and get to know everybody.
The hess station was a great idea for a meeting place and would give everybody a chance to gas up the tank and the belly before heading off to the Can-Am tent. If everybody would like to take a little ride together after leaving the tent enroute to JP Cycles(Destination Daytona), we could drive towards the coast and take a well known and scenic ride called "The Loop" which winds around rivers and backroads and I believe ends up right near Destination Daytona. That would be a fun, scenic ride instead of the boring interstate:clap:
Just a thought to see what everybody thinks.
Looking forward to Bike Week :yes:
Ben Davis

[spyderbob]

If people would like to take a ride and get out of the traffic and ride though the Ocala National forest we have a place in Astor, FL on the water where we could take a break It is off of 40. Destation
Daytona gets so crowded during Biketoberfest it took us almost and hour to get there on US 1 sitting in traffic.

[Cundiffla]

Hey I am game for anything I am just there for the Fun Ride!

We got an invite to have a meeting at Corbin too and I think that's real close to the Loop.

Maybe we could meet at Hess, hangout a bit, ride to the Can Am tent, hangout a bit and then ride the Loop and wind up at Corbin. From there we could go to Rossmeyer's Harley to see all the vendors and visit with Magic Man and crew. :doorag::spyder:

Welcome to SpyderLovers bdspyder!

Hey Lamonster...

You got the Plan...

[sleepman]

Sounds like Lamonster gets to be the Grand Poobah of this little meet and greet. :thumbup:

[effgjamis]

Hey Sleepman.... don't suppose we can get him a head cover as the spyder poobah??

From there we could go to Rossmeyer's Harley to see all the vendors and visit with Magic Man and crew. :doorag::spyder:That sounds like a good plan and a lot of fun. After leaving the tent to goto Corbin, we can do some backroads to the start of the Loop. About 1-2 miles into it, there's a park right off the intercoastal we could stop at to stretch our legs and regroup to catch any Spyders we might have left behind from traffic lights. We could make some copies of a Google map just in case someone got left behind till we all make it to the park. From the park we would head north and do 1/2 the loop and end up on hwy 95 about 4 miles north of Destination Daytona and Corbin. (Very nice ride and we can all pretty much stay together from that point). Depending on how may Spyders we have, we might have to block 1 or 2 stop signs. Taking the on ramp off hwy 95 going toward Corbin wouldn't be that busy from the direction we came from but busy going from Corbin to Destination Daytona

I'll see if I can't print out a google map of the route, mark it, scan it and put it on the forum.(Don't expect much - 1st for me trying to do that):yikes:
What do you think lamonster
How many Spyder do you think might come?

[bdspyder]

I was just thinking about the route and I think we said we'd meet around 10-11am. If that's the case, we probably need to stop somewhere for lunch before we get to Destination Daytona (known as DD from now on). There is a barbeque restaurant at DD but I can imagine it would be packed and probably would'nt get too sit together and there's the usual food stands around but thats it. Or we could modify the route and ride more of the loop ending up right on the coast and eat at a local dive with sandwiches, salads etc (good place) thats right off the beach. From there we would drive south on 1A which is right off the coast and nice view of the ocean for about 7 miles or so. Make a right onto 40 heading into ormond beach then a right onto hwy 1 which will take us straight to Corbin then DD. More riding with nice scenery.
Everybody think about it and give me some feedback and I'll make another map showing the new route if you want me to.
Whatever we choose it will be great :yes:

[Stuart49]

I will be in JAX on Friday 3-6 for the Iron Butt Dinner, riding down Thurs/Friday from PA. I could meet on Sat AM 3-7. What is address of this Hess Station (if that is now the meeting destination)?

I'll likely be heading back north later on Sat, at least make the SC border by Sat evening.

Anyone else riding down that way on 3-6, or back north on 3-7?

Thanks, Stuart

Wife and I are planning to ride our Spyders IF we get hers straighten out. If not will going in car:cus::cus::cus::cus:!!!!! Already have a room near race track. So keep us informed please.

[hollylmh]

The last two times I have been down to Daytona getting in or out of DD was such a mess I did not even try. I'll be coming down from Orange Park [I trailer to there] on Saturday the 7th and maybe the week before. It would be neat to see some Spyder types there.

[sleepman]

The last two times I have been down to Daytona getting in or out of DD was such a mess I did not even try.

The trick with DD is to either go there early in the day or come at it from the other direction. If you hit it going west on 1 there is where the worst of the traffic is. You can go up the interstate to the next exit to Old Dixie back to 1 and head at it from the east. The traffic isn't as bad going that way.

[bdspyder]

That's true Sleepman. LaMonster was saying we were invited to Corbin and earlier posts, we had talked about going there 1st then hitting DD to see Magic Man and mess around. Heading northward on 1 from ormond beach would allow us to goto Corbin 1st and also do half the loop, eat and finish the other half.
Your right -- It's always crazy around DD. I think they've taken a lot of interest away from Main Street. It's not what it used to be around there.
Hope to see you there:2thumbs:

[kalavera]

I would love to ride out to this:

1. I have never been to Daytona Bike Week (or daytona for that matter)
2. The longest I have ever ridden on a bike is 2 hours in either direction from my house.
3. Its about 7 hours by car. What am I looking at by bike?
4. Dont wanna make the trek alone. Anyone in the panhandle riding down there? Maybe meet up with other Spyderlovers.com peeps on the way.

You'll have three or four fuel stops in those 7 hours. How long does it take you to fuel up the Spyder (stretching the legs, answering questions, etc.)? Multiply that by the number of fuel stops and thats how much longer it should take you on the Spyder. For me, I would plan on 8 hours by Spyder (allowing 15 - 20 minutes per fuel stop). Longer if riding in a big group, less time if riding solo.

[vt228]

guys I cant make it to daytona wife going under surgery on her so my be next year I well be in so carolina may hope to see you then vt228:coffee:

[Biker]

I haven't been able to ride at all since I bought my new roadster. I'm really looking forward to Daytona to try her out. I would really like to meet with you guys and discuss things. Let me know where you will be meeting and I'll try and be there. We'll be there for the week. AS the time grows closer to Bike Week, keep me posted. :opps::2excited::clap:

------------------------
SpyderLovers meet at the Hess gas station around 11am on Sat. 2-28-09 and the following Sat. 3-7-09 at the same time. I looked it up on the map but I think they have it wrong. If you get off of 95 onto International Speedway Blvd. (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=ilG&ei=f7CRScPQI9CCtweilaTXCw&resnum=1&q=speedway%20blvd&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl) and head east the Hess station will be on the right (south) just before you get to the race track.

From there we can head over to the Cam Am Spyder tent at the race track and if you like we can take a little ride over to Corbin (http://www.corbin.com/ormond.shtml) in Ormond Beach and then to Rossmeyers (http://www.brucerossmeyer.com/) Harley where most of the action is and No Magic Neon (http://www.nomagicneon.com/spyderbike.html) is setup.

Hope to see you all there. :doorag:

I'm glad you decieded to meet closer to Daytona.:agree: I really didn't want to drive on 95 from Ormond Beach. I also think we make more of a statement driving along US1. I am so looking forward to this get together with so many Spyder Ryders!!! :yes:

[Jake007]

Actually this year has been unseasonably cool for us. Of course it should still seem like a heat wave to you.:) Coldest I've had to ride in this year was 28 degrees. If the weather we've been having lately hangs around then it's going to be excellent for bikeweek.

[ratspyder]

see you there

Will be at Hess sat. 2-28-09 @11:00.

Hey anybody in the mid-west headed to Daytona with a trailer? Was supposed to have bike shipped already but truck headed south was cancelled. Now I have my bike all ready to go and no transport to Daytona...:yikes:. My plan is to leave it down in FL till may and ride it home. Was thinking about riding it down but -30 below here this am. Will look at weather again tomorrow, Have heated seat and Ind. 7 windshield can wear snowpants for my legs, just worried about my hands...Maybe choppers on the hands...:dontknow:

Nice videos doc! :thumbup: Looks like that new camera is working out good.

[Roaddog2]

Jealous in CT. :2thumbs: but I did finale get out for a 70 mile rip on Friday.
now were supposed to get dumped on big time :banghead:

[Monique]

Well it looks like I missed you guys yesterday :O( and I was really looking forward to meeting everyone !
We drove in from Kissimmee (where we're camping) and anticipated traffic to be heavy but this was ridiculous - we had a 45 minute buffer and still didn't make it on time! Traffic was insane and we only arrived at the Hess station around 11:20 - no Spyders to be found ! I stopped at a Shell and asked if there was another Hess station around - I was definitely at the right place.....just too late.

I did meet the nice folks from No Magic Neon and "Lamonster" the previous day and waved to a few Spyder owners on the road but it's just not the same.

I was only #4 when I checked in with Evan....I even wore my Crocs (like LDFireworks!) for good luck ! Oh well another lucky Spyderlover will win it later this week.

Still enjoying this lovely Florida weather!

I live in Kissimmee.... 407-520-1061 .. if you are still here.
I just returned from Daytona this AM, before the weather changed.
Saturday was a GREAT DAY, I didn't think we left the Hess Until 11:45 heading to the BRP Tent at the Speedway. Real sorry to have missed you...

[hollylmh]

Sorry you missed us. I counted 28 Spyders and I don't think there was a single "stock one" there! Good to see all the various mods. Plan to check out the floorboards with the lowered controls further. I got new side cases later and hope to get a top box Thursday. Hope you can make the Factory get together Thurs 4 PM at the display tent.

Needless to say, I am home again from a Sat day at Datona..
LaMonster, was there with a bit of flu, but he hung right in there.. Don't know where he gets his git-up-an-go especailly when sick. Get Well Lamonster and hope your trip home is a safe one.
We met at Hess and proceded to the BRP Tent at the race track and networked a bit, and then off on a loop ride. As I am not Familiar with Daytona, I don't know where I went, and was lucky to find a yellow spyder back to the race track so I could find I4 and homeward I went..
However, we stopped to eat at Manny's, and let me tell you the food was great and plenty, and I mean Plenty of it.. I just hope someone posts the plate the Doc ordered.. OMG......Seeing is believing.

This am, I met George and Len on I4 and we 3 rode to DD and then to the meet.

It was a great day. I really enjoyed it and I do believe that those in attendance also enjoyed the day.

Forest it was nice meeting you too. See you next Sunday am and don't forget you owe me one egg and a slice of potato. Lee.
I agree I never saw anybody eat so much. His greek salad was "small" enough to share with the table and they just kept coming with wraps and fries. It was so funny. Fun to meet all SpyderLovers what a great bunch.

[Biker]

Daytona 2009 is now in the history books but, I thought I would like to give my thanks to Lamonster for setting up the events and talking with me to give me some hints about the Spyder. Thanks again. You're doing a great job. :congrats::bowdown:

Hi Lamont, we had a great time at Daytona & we were glad to meet you. My question is when & where will be the bike run in Tenn. for 2009? Thanks, Sandy
