    Default Come on guys!

    We need to get our crap together! We are probably the least active state in the Spyderlover community. I know we are in Wisconsin and its FINALLY nice but... We need to start meeting our fellow Wisconsin spyder riders. Time to start organizing things. Elkspyder and Bersquack are the veterans here so with their help () I'd like to start up some "Meet,Greet and Ride". If everyone can put in their 2cents on when and where. We could start with smaller locally MGRs weekly. Maybe take over Two Wheel Tuesdays. and maybe once a monthly/bimonthly we travel north,south,east or west to MGR with everyone else. Hopefully we are able to get out and cover the entire state to hang with our fellow Spyderlovers

    I'm not in WI but do most of my riding there. Last weekend was a ride around Lake Koshonong with lunch at the Anchor Inn. I would love to join you guys for a ride.

    I am thinking about rYding my Spyder to a business meeting in Brookfield in August. Does that count?

    Seriously, If I do, I'm stopping in Cherry Valley IL to eat at Salamones Pizza. Grown partial to that place!

    troubles for a guy like me is location and therefore time. most everyone else on here is in the eastern part of the state. me being in the extreme west, makes for a 3 hour trip just to find other ryders. working every other weekend doesnt help either.
    hopefully i will get some time to head east soon and meet some of you. until then if any of you are heading west on I-90, holler at me and I will do all i can to hook up and ryde.

    Howdy I am from Mo and in Merrill now. Would love to have somebody show me THEIR roads. Could meet around Shawno? Sometime Fri or Sat the 10th or 11th?. Haven't seen ANY spyders up here on the roads yet. Believe they are shy and in hiding.

    We will be heading to WI after Maggy Valley. Have kids in Janesville and Platteville(our orginal home) around the 1st of July and will probably stay a couple of weeks. Would love to meet up with others.

    Wishing you luck on getting organized rides with fellow lovers. Same problem here in AK. Everyone is out doing their own thing.

    Fortunately I have a group of friends in a general motorcycle club that I ride with weekly from May through September.

    Have been riding with them for 10 years now.

    It is nice to enjoy the camaraderie and friendship of regular riding friends.

    You have Harbear just to your east and HDmod a little ways to your south. You might PM them to see if they want to get together for a ride.

    Would love to get together! There is a fellow Spyder rider that camps up at the lake and Janesville is only 30 minutes away (or and hour taking the scenic tour). My father in-law has a condo in Cape Canaveral were he spends the winter.

    I am willing and able to go riding. I hope I can meet everyone at Lamonts BBQ or the BRP owners event in Maggie Valley, then maybe we can get our act together and go riding.

    Were are you located in WI? I keep a map of everyone in WI so I can make contact if I'm going to be riding in the area.

    I am glad that I invited all to attend the the 2011 Wisconsin Road Run. It looks like I had great timing for that invite. I look forward to seeing all of you fellow spyder riders at the event and beyond! I have since posted a new thread on the main forum to get even more interest. Thanks guys and gals for supporting riding in Wisconsin for breast cancer.

    Sorry for the late reply, I don't read the forum as often as I used to.

    I'd be up for a ride on a weekend. Just let me know when and if I'm available I'll be there.

    @Jeff. My wife and I are planning to make the trip over to your neck of the woods for the WI ride. Any plans together yet for Spyder ryders to meet ahead of time??

Pig roast, Raffles and live intertainment by Southern Exposure. $25.00/Bike $15.00 for aditional passenger... For info call Dave Robertson at (815) 814-5347. See you there! Bob
