Tunnel of Trees color tour in Petoskey, Michigan

[RLS]

We want to ride up on Sat. to do the tunnel ride. When are you going to leave the motel to do the ride. We would like make a nice day ride out of this and ride with the gang. Hope to see you.

We're glad you can join us. There isn't any thing set in stone. I would imagine by the time everyone gets up and has breakfast, it will be some where around 11ish. I think Legs Inn doesn't open until around noon. That's where we end up and have lunch. But the plans are open until we get to Petoskey and we can get input from eveyone.

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately we cannot make it to the "Tunnel of Trees" this year. Nancy had to have hernia surgery last week and I think it would be just too far for her to go. I hope you guys have a good turn out and great weather for that weekend. Have you and Joan decided about your rides yet and what you will be doing as far as adding mods to the Spyder or going for the RT?

Have fun on your ryde and will be looking for pictures.

I've reserved a room for Friday night. My boyfriend and I will be joining everyone for the ride Saturday. Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing the fall colors. This will be the first time he will be riding my Spyder, fingers crossed that he will like it.
On another note I saw a few Spyders at Bikes on the Bricks in Flint last weekend. Wondered if any of them are on here. The police escorted ride was awesome and my 14 yr old nephew who rode with me thinks he is the coolest kid ever now. Here is a video of the bikes going by I'm the white Spyder RSS that goes by about 7.5 minutes in.

[SpyderAnn01]

Rachel, thanks for posting the video of your ride. I had no idea that that was such a huge ride! We had a charity ride in Grand Rapids on Saturday or we may have gone to Flint. I think I counted 7 Spyders - not a bad turnout.

Everybody enjoy the trip this weekend have a great time.

I'm considering going but cindi's gotta work...anybody from my area <Jackson-Lansing> going? If I go I'd rather ride with a companion but not necessary...just nice...I'll watch the forum...

Will you be leaving from the hotel or from a different location?

Just an FYI when I made my reservation they told me they couldn't find your room block so they just gave me a room with a 20% discount for having a Sams club card. We will be there Friday night and leave after the ride Saturday.

Just talked to Rando and sounds like he may have had a GPS failure. He was on his way when it happened. Hopefully his dealer can get him fixed up and back on his way.

hi bob having a swell time

[Rando]

We ended up delayed about 5 hours but arrived in Petoskey around 6:30 PM.

The dealer didn't have a GPS in stock and they only had one RT in their showroom so they wouldn't take the GPS off a donor bike.

They were able to clear the codes and get it running so after consulting with Lamonster, we decided to go for it.

[Littlebadwolf]

Hope y'all are having a good time..Wanted to go but Cindi's schedule wouldn't allow it...so anyways Mr Spydie's sitting in the garage with half of my new wrap installed..gonna finish the wrap today. This wrap is gonna be awesome...Pete sells a quality product and his service is terrific.. If you're contemplating a paint job check into the wraps first..Will save you a lot of money and you still have the ability to customize your own look. I'll post pics of Mr Spydie when he finishes getting dressed.

[SpyderAnn01]

I hope you all have a fantastic ride today. Looks like a great but chillly day for a ride. Take pictures please.

Bob, here is the link to the photo's of the tunnell of trees. They are larg files and can be downloaded. They should be able to crop them and still get a good picture. Feel free to do with them what you want. I enjoyed meeting you and the group. I hope our paths will cross again in the future.
