Northern IL Spyders

**Chitown Newbie** · 06-02-2011, 07:56 PM

I am planning to buy new Spyder RSS tomorrow from Nielsens at Lake Villa.

I am getting M class licence in 2 weeks but hoping I can ride a bit before...don't want to get a ticket but it will be tough to keep in the garage without trying to ride it

Anyone lives near Vernon Hills, IL..curious to see if folks ride around Northern Il or South Wisconsin.

I sent you a pm...

**Chitown Newbie** · 06-12-2011, 08:07 AM

I finally got Spyder RS SE5 delivered on Friday. I took it out to practice around our sub division a couple of times...each time getting more comfortable

I am taking Basic licensing class next week so I should be legal driving in no time!

Good luck to you guys going to NC next week...I was there for business this week and saw a bunch of BPR guys meeting ATV lovers

for ATV event. It should be a fun event....

Let me know if you guys take a ride up in Wisconsin " home of the superbowl champs"

, I ride all over southeast WI, would be fun to organize a spyder ride!

Very cruel

. As a Bears season ticket holder I am trying top forget that last game.

Will do in spite of your football allegience.

Sounds like a plan, we should organize a ride to South east Wisconsin for a lunch but we will make our Wisco friend buy

if..should I say when Bears win the crown this year, we will repay

Kidding...we should have a ride in July.

Papa/other guys, not sure if you know...Nielsens is organizing a Bike ride for kids on July 17th with a raffle for a brand new Spyder

...I am planning to attend...others should join for a good cause!

Please keep us updated on this ride or any other ride, I would like to attend if possible.

I'm putting together a list of interested Ryder's and will try and pull something together after MV.

If we have enough interest we could try and form a Spyder Ryder's of America chapter here in Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin. We should have enough people. Any interest?

**DougB** · 06-13-2011, 11:05 AM

Welcome from Norway, IL.

**BMW** · 06-13-2011, 06:44 PM

on your new ride. southern IL.

**Chitown Newbie** · 06-13-2011, 07:49 PM

Great idea Papa! We have a bunch of folks on forum from around this area...

We should try to get as many Spyders to attend Ride For Kids on July 17th...we can meet by Nielsens or Elgin Community College (main meeting place).

I am going call Nielsens soon to get more details on timing, etc

**Smokinspyder** · 06-19-2011, 08:19 PM

NICE I just read about the ride at nielsens, im going to have to see if i can make that ride. It would be fun to meet some local spyder riders . Since i have really only seen a few on the road around here in palatine aside from the one i just got a few weeks ago !!!!

Sounds fantastic. My wife and I have been trolling the same areas for a couple years now and would love a regional group to participate with.

**Papa** · 06-26-2011, 09:54 AM

I'll contact the organization and see what it takes to get a new chapter up and running. Stay tuned.....

You already have a SpyderLovers chapter now up and running, why not use it?

This is the IL chapter board of SL. I'm sorry if I'm missing something here.

**Papa** · 06-26-2011, 12:47 PM

Gotcha. I thought you might be referring to a chapter of SLA. I'm good with am informal vs formal club. KISS approach.

**Smokinspyder** · 06-26-2011, 02:18 PM

I guess we should all meet up and hang out and chat and talk about sypder stuff. so far ive seen some north from us mchenry, mundelien, hoffman estates, palatine, arlington heights.Did I miss anyone ? if we get a general location that will be easy for us all to meet up . we can congregate there like a sonic or super dawg, something centralized. suggestions for said meeting place ?

**Papa** · 06-26-2011, 03:04 PM

Why don't we use this event to get together and talk about the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin group. Good cause on July 10th. See link:

**Smokinspyder** · 06-26-2011, 03:07 PM

Ya I have been reading about that . Im going to ask the wife if she wants to go . I really want to attend . Everyone else up for this event ?

**Chitown Newbie** · 06-26-2011, 04:25 PM

I will try to attend 7/10 ride at Woodstock as well. It will be fun to meet IL Spyderlovers

Papa, we can probably meet up again at the Mundelein's Starbucks to ride together there.
