I couldn’t make it today but anxiously awaiting pictures and a report

Eighteen Spyders! We made quite the spectacle out there on the road. Thanks, Joe, for setting up a great ryde. We had a blast. It was great seeing old friends, and meeting new ones.

The "official" photographer, our lady Seattle (Cindy) will, I'm sure, be posting up some higher quality pix. But here's one (hopefully it loads okay) with most but not all of the bikes. Cindy did a better job of lining everybody up to get all of the bikes in the shot.

Need to sort through the 350+ photos I've taken today to weed and toss the bad shots; based from a quick preview, I'll just confirm there are a LOT of those!

The two raw videos captured between myself and Joe will take time to edit and pare down to under 10 minutes, highlighting the most picturesque portions of our ryde.

It was terrific connecting with familiar friends as well as meeting the new people... which I hope we'll see over the summer for upcoming planned rydes. A special thanks goes out to both Lifestyles Honda for the coffee and donuts and Clem's Enumclaw Powersports for their generosity buying the group lunch .

Joe - Many thanks for being an awesome chauffeur... again.

Many thanks to everyone that arrived for the Meet 'n' Eat...18 Spyders made it the largest event to date. Great group of friends, great ryde, great weather made it hard to beat.

Here's my "walk by" video (Click on the photo to see)...



And of course...Looking forward to the next one...

Oh, and don't forget to thank Clem's Enumclaw Powersports for the lunch!

Posted this on Facebook, but gotta share it here too. Our very own Seattle, looking for something she's lost... Title of the picture is "Has Anybody Seen A Pearl Earring?"

And no, our Spyders don't look like that, but I don't have any 3D models of Spyders, unfortunately...

OMFG, that is freakin' GREAT!

I had a great day, thanks for getting us all together! We have to keep it up now, I would love to do some overnighters, or at least day rides to Leavenworth or Winthrop for example.

I also want to thank Kevin (my salesman) and all the folks at Lifestyles Honda for the "Starbucks" coffee and doughnuts and Enumclaw Power sports for the great lunch. Randy is their mechanic and was fasinating to listen to and pick his brain.

I will try to get some pictures on line soon as well.

Regards,

Randy

I would also like to say wow that was a fun ride and seeing everyone from the Oyster Run and meeting new Spyder friends. I also want to thank Lifestyles Honda for the coffee and Randy from Enumclaw Power Sports for the great lunch and all the Tech Info he was giving us about our different Syders (RT/RS).

[Radthorne]

OMFG, that is freakin' GREAT!

And my thanks as well to our buddies at Lifestyles Honda and Enumclaw Powersports. It's great to have such nice dealer support!

[Seattle]

Very NICE Kevin! LOVE IT!

GREAT shots, Cindy! You do an amazing job of capturing the essence of a trip.

(Now, if we can just get Letecia to wake up there, on the back of Ricardo's bike, she'll enjoy the scenery too!)

Got it! lol....

Great Pics once again by Cindy.

[Tru-Blue]

Great gathering! We wish that we could have attended but kids and sports consume our weekends. I did get to enjoy the great riding weather last weekend over here on the east side of the state . We look forward to riding and meeting other riders this coming spring and summer.

Cheers,
Patrick

Would like to let everyone know I haven't forgotten about our video. I'm discovering – as a novice – that raw video editing can be a very cumbersome and daunting process; the challenge is to select the best segments of video to be showcased under 3-5 viewable minutes with the two cameras that were used to record the experience.

I have a whole new respect for those who do editing on a professional scale for the TV/Film industry.

Here's the video from our 4/15 Meet-n-Eat, which was sped up x2 to keep it short so as to not bore anyone.
