    Default Spyder in the Smokies

    Anyone going to Spyder in the Smokies October 22 thru 25? We've already registered, and made arraignments for camping at Bryson City at Smoky Mountain Meadows campground. Rode there today and checked out the campground. It's kind of a sacluded place, and off the beaton path, just like we want.

    Hopefully we we can get a lot of people from North and South Carolina to show up.

    My niighbor and I ride to Blue Ridge Georgia today to get some BBQ at Joe's. Had a great ride. When we came back to where we parked there were 5 Spyders parked across from us. Anyone know who they were?

    We will also be there. We are coming down the weekend before to do some riding.
    I do plan on doing some riding during the week also during the event, Teresa said she will stay at the trailer if I want to go out with everyone.

    We are staying in one of the Cabins.

    Well we signed up for the FREE DINNER paid for by BRP only to be told that we have to pay $15.00 each to pay for the room. Whaaa? Apparently BRP gave the free tickets to the organizer who won't give you one unless you buy the $15.00 "entertainment" ticket. We weren't planning on staying past the dinner since we are staying in a cabin 45 minutes away. Blackmail!

    Somebody should let BRP/ BRP rep know that this"highway robbery" is going on. A $15.00 "entertainment fee" does not make the dinner FREE. Did BRP give sponsorship money to this event???
