Ask HDX about when his GPS lied to him..... in the pouring rain...... bike week, NH. I wore dishwashing gloves that day. Bright yellow ones. Should have had the Spyder then, it would have matched nicely. Would've been Stylin!

Not sure how this will work out but here is an idea. bjt and I are getting the banner from jeuchler in Niagara Falls this next weekend. We are going to drive it through Ontario and hopefully get some of our Canadian SpyderLover to sign it. I know we have Director and Nudle, hoping for more. We will bring it to MI. I need to contact DaddyDarko, he is riding out to Rolling Thunder. Maybe he can take it through OH and PA into DC. From there it could hit New York and NJ and head back a little south to Virginia. It just needs to head back west by the June so that we can catch up with for the trip to LA. We will just have to keep an eye on it and see where it is and who can get hold of it.

Is it to late to add a spiral note book with the banner.
Something that could record the date location and (pony) spyder express rider's name.
Here is the plan when it gets to Saint Louis first gather club members for the signing. Then off to Anheuser Busch to see the Clydesdale's then to the Arch then to Ted Drews.
We may even take it out for a Saint Louis Pizza.

I'd be glad to fetch it from you or meet up for a signing. I could also ferry it to DD, depending on when he is leaving. Maybe somebody else, too. Gotta work around the Spyder in the shop and Nancy's surgery, though. I will be her legs and wheels for a while. Time for the Michigan contingent to sign in.

Midnight...Just got home.

We're too cold to bring it to Rhode Island tonight, bro.

The banner is like the NHL's Stanley Cup where every member of the winning team gets to take The Cup home for a day or two. Every member of the SpyderLovers team should get to take it to their neck of the woods for signing by other Spyder owners and a nice little ride or lunch / dinner event. I'm sure that can happen and, in the course of making it happen, it'll probably criss cross the US a couple of times.

Would I be a little late in saying maybe we should try to get the banner back to LaMONSTER before his California run. I see alot of opportunity there. Or did this already come up? Sorry, if it did and I'm repeating something.

Patty,
That would be great if you and Evan could make it to the Falls. I would love to meet you both. It should be a nice time for everyone.

That'd be awesome!

Barb and I will pretty much drive right past you guys, so let us know...

[jeuchler]

OK, I'm thawed.

As I wrote to ddeyle, the daughter's tough (so is the son--recall he rode through rain and then intense heat + humidity for two days last summer), Me--I'm just silly. (Stupid? )

Anyhow...

Pics 1 & 2: One of the many rooms in tatt2r's awesome Dragon's Lair studio.

Pic 3: It got down to 32 degrees for most of the ryde home + brutal wind. The things we do for love--of The Banner (and The Sharpie).

Pic 4: Outside Brattleboro, VT on the way to Salem, NH. Didn't see any that day.

Thanks again for the hospitality and stories, tatt2r. A wild day, all in all.

(P.S. HDX, RoadDog: I think the ink in the Sharpie froze.)

[jeuchler]

Hope ya got some ink while you were there.........

Nah.

I felt bad making tatt2r wait for us after hours on his workday. Wasn't gonna make him work more. 'Sides, he was doing the whole show-n-tell thing which was fascinating.
