Hey ALL Of You SpyderQuesters!

[FRKSHO]

Wow - I'm confused !!!

[Spidergirl]

The minute we find out, we will be booking. I am sooooo excited this is being put on again. For me it is all about the people I meet.

I am not on Spyderquest committee, but I have been to Spyderfest.

In 2013 they had group rides, plus what I mentioned below.

2014 Spyderfest if people wanted to going riding on their own they could, they also had a place for the vendors,( which was inside) so we could get our spyders worked on ( or farkled).

Plus BRP was there, they had a tracker trailer?? and they sold clothing and accessories, and they had demo rides of the 14RT's, they had a very large movie screen, saw a movie, and a light show( spyders with lights) , light show, prizes for the people, Food, plus we stopped @ Pitbulls to visit and buy things. They also had 1 or 2 host hotels. 1 of the hotels they had farewell party. ( Friday night)

Mogang or Lamont, or Lenny I don't want to be stepping on your shoes. Deanna

I agree with Deanna (even though she types so tiny)!!!! There is no reason BRP should NOT be there. It's just "down the road" for them - not half way across the country. There is no event in the Northeast or Central Atlantic region that BRP attends, as far as I know. Spyderquest would be perfect for them. Their presence would also attract other venders. There are also no other vender attended event in the NE or Central Atlantic that I know of.

But, that said, if you are going to attract BRP and additional venders, then you MUST open the event up for more than 200 registrants. I understand about the rides filling up. When the rides are full, they are full. That's a safety and manpower issue - no problem. But folks should still be able to come and enjoy other events, meet other Spyder owners, and shop with the venders.

Another thing that the committee might want to consider are workshops - sponsored and conducted by venders and local dealers. That will also attract additional owners for the venders. While some people go on rides, others will want to attend the workshops.

That's my 2 cents worth of advice. (Well, it may be more like 6 cents worth. Sorry.)

Thanks so much ! We worked really hard and it's nice to hear that people had fun and want to come back.

Just to clear up a little confusion here. There was no limit on the number of people that could register, in fact we had 261 people. The on limit was up until when you could register, this was because of the lead time to get the T-Shirts made. You could come and go to the vendors that were there even if you were not registered. We are not stopping any vendor or manufacture from coming. We would like more to come. Again it's an economic decision on the vendors part.

.......Do you need the Lat. and Long. or just the GPS co-ordinates or what................Lake George NY is pretty specific ..............your welcome , Mike

[Roadster Renovations]

We just spent 2 days at Lake George last month on our New England trip. That is an awesome place!! Count us in!!

[kawakii]

I'd be happy to volunteer to help. I live in NH but I'm great at organizing, could help contact vendors, etc...

We will definitely be back next year - this time with our Spyder and Indian Scout. We have decided to keep our Spyder one more season then make a change to another Spyder, Harley Trike, slingshot, ...or ?

We had a great time even without our Spyder - great people and a lot of fun.

You might want to "Officially" PM rnet about this...
And since organizing our Group is akin to herding cats at night in a driving rain; thanks! We NEED you!

[Bob Denman]

...And I deferred.

I couldn't say that about you, anyway!

[rnet]

Headed to Lake George this am. Some will know what this is all about.

[Bob Denman]

Let us know what you learn; Good Luck!!

[bruisersbaby]

Yes, I'm actually on spyderlovers lol!! Bruiser normally keeps me informed on the "goings on", but I was just checking to see if the dates had been determined yet for Spyderquest. We are planning to attend again in 2015 and want to make sure we have our reservations confirmed.

Yo - anyone on the committee have any info to share?

Soon, waiting for a few more details. Thanks Ron

[bruiser]

Yeah, we'll probably be there. Staying at the Comfort Suites. But damn if I'm buying a new Spyder again.

[oldguyinTX]

We (Val & Dwight) will definitely be back next year. Met lots of folks & made new friends. This was Val's first event & she loved it. Even riding in the rain on Saturday, she was game to go for it. Dinner cruise was great - AWESOME sunset. Food was lousy. I know that the committee is working on that (even they thought it was lousy). Maybe a seafood offering for those of us who are not carnivores? AND..wait for it...maybe theClown Car.gif will be back!! Looking forward to SpyderQuest 2015!!
