MISSOURI RENDEZVOUS

[RTGENE]

Here is the story of how it began.


Last year there was a spyder and two wheeler event at Fort Lenard Wood in support of the USO on post.


Great turn out with people coming from all over the country. I met Len on his spyder who happens to own the Cow Town spyder dealership in Cuba Mo. As usual spyder riders start off being friends and it grows from that point on.
Months later I was getting an oil change and Len and I started brainstorming about a Spyder event.


Here is what we came up with.

MISSOURI RENDEZVOUS

Cuba Ride April 17th and 18th

Len has offered up a free BBQ lunch and is working on a free dinner I of course accepted for us.
There will be 3 RT's available for Demo Rides
I'm asking each person that attends to pay $5.00 entry fee. I wanted to use those dollars for a cash drawing then Len offered to match our total entry fees. The winner of a drawing will have the total to buy BRP goodies at Cow Town. He also mentioned that he will have attendance bags for everyone.

Cow Town has its own test track and lake. Len suggested that we test ride some of the other BRP products.
Since Cow Town has 6 trained spyder tech's he plans on doing maintenance and oil changes at a reduced price If anyone needs service
I also asked if he would lead our group on a scenic route thru the country side and back before dinner time. He would be more than happy to show us around Cuba's twisties.

Motel in Cuba for those that want to stay overnight.

Now that's funny, was thinking of the same thing "coloring book"
I was just being nice, and didn't say anything

"STRONG WRIST & HEAVY FOOT, OH NO"
This is going to be a lot of fun!

OK folks sorry it took me so long to get back with you all however,, I WILL be there for sure, sounds like a LOT of fun.. Gene I thank you for getting this starting, I know during the USO run we had a huge discussion about this event and I kind of LOST THE BUBBLE on it however, this will be a outstanding event in order to kick off the riding season, although some of us (LEE) ride most of the year but for us fare weather riders it will be a start.. OK its on----I'm thinking I'm going to spend the night but have not yet booked it yet.. Cuba has some wonderful roads so I'm looking forward to the ride for sure.... See ya all there on Cuba Mo..
