Spyder fest Florida...

[Wheeler~]

I stand corrected on omission of the word " IF "..... but I am not a DUDE Paul..

[Wheeler~]

Only if this is going to be a Spyder Lovers event...

Lamont's going to sponsor the event? Hey I'm all for it. That would be the answer to a prayer. Let me know as soon as you get that handled. Until then excuse me if I continue to research this with or without your help.

Spyders In Paradise?

Ok I like Spyders in Paradise and we could have it in Homestead they have plenty of Motels and it is fairly easy to get in and out on the turnpike or the back road up to HWY27. We could spend two or three nights in Homestead with day rides to keys or the everglads or southbeach. Or a second choice could be Ocala horse country, there is plenty of motels, a good delearship, either coast is 1 1/4 hr away. You could do this either spring or fall. OH yes Disney is only a 1 1/2 hr away for those that are Disney fans. Just my thoughts

horse country.. less congestion I think.

Spyderfest is a Spyderlovers event. If you want to do something with SRA then it would not be a Spyderlovers sponsored event. The Fl group started on this board and was never a SRA group till you took over so I would think that any SRA event should be promoted through your Facebook page and not here and any Spyderfest event would be promoted on Spyderlovers and not a SRA site.

Are you saying that this is going to be a, "Spyderfest" event and you would sponsor this event Lamont? That would be great! At this point it is neither an SRA event or a SpyderLovers event until someone steps up to the plate and assumes ownership. I just want to see a Florida event come to fruition. When and if it becomes an SRA event I will post on Facebook and if it becomes a SpyderLovers event, and I think I speak on behalf of our entire chapter, when I say our chapter will still be here to help and support a Florida event any way we can, no matter who puts it on. WE promote Spyderfest all over our chapter sites. We're honestly not here to promote a group, we are here to promote and support an event. I would hope you'd do the same for us?

Here's how "Spyderlovers" sponsors Spyderfest in Cuba.

Cowtown is a paid sponsor of Spyderlovers and Spyderfest was a grassroots event started on Spyderlovers. All promotion for this event is done free of charge and Cowtown provides all moneies and keeps all profits for this event. None of the funds for this event is provided by me or comes back to me. My contrabutions include providing input in the event planning (more so last year) and providing this site to promote the event.

If SRA has their own paid event they are welcome to buy a banner ad here to promote that event on our boards or work out some sort of link exchange. I have yet to be contacted by Ken about any such event or promotion of any SRA event so your best bet would be to have him contact me if wants to do some sort of promotion on our boards.

Cool! BTW not to change the thread but I love your Spyder frunk and trunk ornament that replaces the BRP logo. Nice job! Looks great on my Spyder.

[JolyStNick]

I'm all for having it at Leesburg Bike Fest! only 12 miles from my house. Yep just up the road!
Where ever it is COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SPYDERS IN THE SAND! I sorta like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The further north you have it, the more out of state attendees in my opinion. Extra 350 miles to Homestead may discourage some of the non Floridians who may be under time constraints as far as travel is concerned.

[spyderdmb1621]

folks, if there is a gig in florida- we need to be considerate to all, it needs to be in central florida, convenience for northern and souther folks.

Yepper..... I agree..... Ocala Nat Forest is not a bad ride as long as one doesn't get lost..

[Dizneyman]

Wow...way to much drama here for me... Checking out..

[Wheeler~]

I was kind of sold on the Central Florida idea but the Ocala Forest might make even better sense. The extra ride time and distance to Southern Florida might not appeal to out of Staters. The rides in the National Forest might be more attractive to visitors and rides South could always be planned as a ride option.

just as long as its out of love bug season....

[Michele]

I am excited about the Cuba Spyderfest but like the idea of having an event or just a weekend ride in Florida. My trailer is suppose to come in Thursday so it looks like I will be trailering my motorcycle. Please don't think less of me...LOL...Look forward to making new friends in Mo.

[MouthPiece]

Our very own SITS..... Spyders in the Sand

Aren't those called crabs???

As a new owner who's looking for some type of event to attend, I like the idea of having something here in Florida. Central Florida does seem to make sense to make it easier for people from neighboring states to be able to join in. I can't wait for this to be set up.

[CyncySpyder]

Teddy & I usually try to get to Florida once a year durring our Christmas break from work , usually Dec. 23-Jan 2nd, would be great if there were a Spyder Event maybe right after Christmas & durring that time of year, usually us "Northeners" are ready for some fun n the sun DroidPix-10-2010 1008.jpgDroidPix-10-2010 1007.jpgDroidPix-10-2010 972.jpg

October 2013 is currently being considered for our first Florida Event. Things could change! If so, the first couple weeks of November is also being considered. Updates to follow............

[dave01]

Biketoberfest is already in October, unless you time it out for both to run together.
