Got the kitchen pass to attend the BBQ. Looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new ones.
Love the idea of wrenching! Bringing my zip-ties and the hammer.

Dates don't matter to us. We'll attend whatever days we're able to (Thursday and Friday might not work, too early to tell), but we won't miss the weekend stuff.

I'm in as long as you set a date early.
- I can change the oil on an RS blind folded
- I can swap out shocks
- Change plugs
- Install some options
- Pull frunks and grease joints
- Install juice boxes
I assume either you will have supplies there for sale so people don't have to bring their own supplies for things like oil changes, etc. Baja Ron to the rescue?
Anything else would require me to trailer the spyder in order to have space for other stuff.
Would love to learn how to check belt tension *Properly or actually see a rear wheel removed and reinstalled.
We could also do a spyder wash with a donation bucket and pick a local charity to donate the proceeds to... or something of the sort.
Doc better have his Silver Dream there with the new powerplant by then!

Dates
Us mid northerners ( Ohio ) tend to get some cold weather off and on in early October , especially in the mornings. Headed to Tenn this last October and nearly froze ( 38 when we left at 0730 ) plumb to death until temps warmed up around noon. Once we got to Tenn the temps were great and great all the way home . Sept. sometime would seem excellent for our area .Course I could just leave the wife at home and then I wouldn't have to worry about cold....LOL

I'm finding a hard time nailing it down right now as there are other events going on that I don't want to overlap. I'll post something here when I have dates.
So when is your SpyderLovers BBQ? I think that would be great to have one there too.

Question,
Where would it be held?

I was talking with another member last night about my ideas for the Lamonster BBQ next year. Right now we know we have Spyderfest in Cuba MO (April 25 to 29) and the BRP Spyder Owners Event in Durango CO sometime in June. These are the two big events and depending on the turnout this would be the third largest Spyder event if you guys show up again.
My plans are to make this a three day event (wife is going to kill me).
First day would be a workshop at my place. I would need folks that are willing to bring some hand tools and be willing to help others work on their Spyder. We could show folks how to change oil, check belt tension and even install accessories. I'm sure there are plenty of capable SpyderLovers that would be willing to either do the work or help teach someone that was willing to learn. We could help with the tools and help you if you get stuck on something. Everyone else could just watch and fellowship and maybe cook some burgers and dogs.
The next day we would ride. As you all know there are a ton of great riding spots in the area and I can think of some good routes that would pretty much take up the whole day and you would never see the same thing twice.
the last day would be the real BBQ where I would bring in my guy and we would do like we have for the last few years. From there you could head back home or hang around, that would be up to you.
Right now I'm thinking a Thursday, Friday, Saturday thing. What I don't know is when and that's another thing I could use your help on. I'm looking at the months of August, September or October. Got to remember Biketoberfest in October so I'm not sure if that would work.
So what are your suggestions? Is there already too many things going on next year? Should we even plan for this?

Just another opinion
With Spyderfest in April and the Owner's event in June--- I vote for August or early September. I love the idea of the schedule that was mentioned; tech time , ride time, social at the end.

September would be good as there would be less families on vacation with the start of the school year.

We have poultry farm, so everything hinges around that schedule. Can plan somewhat close when a date is decided. I vote for September, August could be too hot, October has chance of turning cold up there.

We have a wedding in VT over Labor Day weekend and will prolly be visiting a few other friends and doing some other Spydering after that. So later in Sept. or Oct. would be better for me.

Any luck nailing down a date yet. This will probably be the only "spdyer" function my wife and I can both go to. But we need to know what the dates are so we can ask off from work. Can't wait to meet more spyderlovers. I've got the soldering iron and wire already to go for the electrical gadget help.

I vote for early September as October can be too chilly in the mountains for it to be enjoyable to stand around outside or ride. As the other two events are too far away to attend, I am REALLY excited about a get-together closer to home. Thank you so much for offering this opportunity!
