    We should arrange a day and time and meet up at Town & Country Sport Center in Cement City, MI. They have a great restaurant next door, the Artesian Wells. In addition, a lot of great places to ryde!

    Sounds okay to me....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Let's do it!

    Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
    Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

    8/15 is the Nascar Race at MIS. I'll be there on my Spyder but you may not want to fight the crowds or traffic!

    a meet up there sounds good to me. Prefer not to be when a Nascar race is happening, way to crowded in the area to be enjoyable. That is the dealer I bought mine from.

    Sounds good to me. We wouldn't be able to get near the place on a NASCAR weekend!

    Default Michigan/Indiana Gathering

    I proposed a Michigan gathering a few days ago..Proposed a Saturday meet/ride from the dealership to Hell, Michigan and back. The 21st is the date in mind..after the nascar crowd is gone. The dealer is Cement City Town and Country Sport, where I bought my spyder. Can-Am will be there on the 18th/19th as part of thier demo tour. Wish it was for the 20/21st but we can have a fun ride without them. If anybody's interested, send me email at Littlebadwolf@aol.com or leave a note here. I'll put together the event day if I see that anybody's interested. A side note..If you're ever in the Jackson area, let me know...we'll go out riding.

    If you can't make the 28th, let me know. I should be free on the 21st and I'm always up for a ride. My routes often take me through Hell (MI, that is) and the road was recently repaved. It's not good, but it's better. We were on it this past Sunday. Lots of nice roads in the Waterloo and Pinckney Recreation Areas, too.

    Default Michigan/Indiana Ride

    I'm going to defer trying to set up a date..it looks like there's other attempts to make it happen so I'll watch to see what date everybody decides on and I'll show up for the ride <laughing>. I'm glad to hear the road into Hell has finally been repaved, it was really getting bad entering from the west side of town. As I said before..if you're in the area and just want to ride, just send me an email or leave me a note and I'll show up. I'm retired and nothing else to do except ride. Don't tell my wife though, she'll have a different opinion regarding my "nothing else to do" statement.

    dltang and I might be able to meet up in the Pinckney / Hell area but I don't think I'd want to ride all the way to Cement City.

    Fine! Go ahead and go to hell then!

    Couldn't resist....

    Okay-- Cement city is 1 hour from Hell.

    Perhaps meeting up in Cement City and then ryding up to Hell as a group and meeting you guys up there?

    The reason I said that was I thought the plan was to meet in Cement City and then ride to Hell. Not sure that I wanted to tack on an extra two hours of riding for that day / event.

    Zombo, I have a Lowell address but I like to say I live in North Alto as I'm south of I-96. Haven't seen you on the road, or any other Spyder for that matter. Shoot me a PM sometime and we can link up for a ride.

    How about the one weekday evening the 1st week of August? Sherman's Ice Cream or Joe's Bar & Grill in South Haven would be good meeting locations.

    I might be able to do that, it is a little far for a night ride by myself...but I think I could do it.

    Sounds good to me. We're always up for ice cream. Our schedules are pretty loose during the week, so just let us know what works for you. PM and we can work out the details.
