    Okay, it looks like we are getting a path here. Mike can get the banner to Roaddog who will get it to HDX bones, who can get it to jeuchler. John will Bring it to Niagara Falls. From there Bruce can take it home on Sat. and then Brian and I can either pick it up on Sun or make a quick trip back to Sarnia the next week and meet Bruce there for a pick up. After that I will try to rally the Michigan SpyderLovers to meet and sign the banner, maybe in Hell Michigan as we seem to be able to meet there easily. After that, I can drive to either the Indiana or Ohio border if someone is willing to meet me there for a pick up. I see a path of progress beginning here, let's keep the communication going.

From there, we will have Director take it through Toronto and London and then Brian and I could pick it up from him on our way back to MI. Once we get in Michigan we can take it to the west side of the state to Scotty for Photos and then take it south to some of our Ohio or Indiana riders for the next leg. Just keep me informed, I definitely want to be part of this banner run.
    You name it and we'll fetch it and pass it on. If it's booked with someone else, we would love to ride support.

    What say, jeuchler?
    Hey, Mike

    I'm getting ole' PE#2929 all woke up from hibernation tomorrow to start getting ready for Niagara...

    It sounds like you'll be up in our neck of the woods next week some time--if i could get it from you on a weekend, that'd be great. Both the lovely bride and I are big diner fans, so if you know of any between Saratoga Springs and western MA/VT we could meet and treat you to a meal. If you feel like swinging out closer to us, we have a Hayabusa owner who runs a great coffee shop/cafe (Brewhaha) right near us.

    Just pm me (if you don't mind) when you know what's up timing-wise and destination-wise. I can pass along my cel phone #, etc.

    Thanks for getting this going!!

    Sorry, Mike, I just reread RoadDog's and HDXBones' posts...

    If that's easier to get it to them, and them to me, that's great, too, of course!

    I'll most likely be taking I-88 up from I-81 into Albany, then 87 to Saratoga.

    Planning to open The Golf Range for the season Friday 3/27.

    Wish I had the kind of money I've made in mafia wars! I make $663K an hour - I really make 1.2M but it costs me half to keep up with all my cars, weapons and I have to keep armor for my recruits. Why haven't you signed on to play w/ us? I can sit on there and do nothing and make money while my other family does the work! And you can kill people on hit lists, you can die over and over, there is no end to this thing - it's insane.

    If you want to get it east OR west from Toronto (Brampton) I can take it to Michigan (Detroit Area) around Aug 1, or East to Kingston ON, or even Montreal QC another time in the Summer.

    Thanks Star but bjt and I are in Michigan. We will be in Niagara Falls with Director who is from London Ont. We are meeting jeuchler who is from MA or CT (one of those little New England states...LOL) along with HDXBones, Roaddog and Smylinatcha, hopefully. Anyway, we will be able to bring it from east to west into MI and meet up with some spyderlovers here to sign it and then either pass it off to Scotty or ride with Scotty to pass it off. Maybe we could meet you somewhere along the way though and get your signature and photo with the banner. Heck, join us in Niagara Falls in April.

    Longlegs, it sounds like a Chicago meet might be a good idea, (maybe south of actual Chicago) to pass off the banner. I think we have a good path going.

    That sounds great Deb.

    Make sure to have everyone sign it.
    Take a picture with it if you can.
    Take lots of pics of people and the area.
    Some video would be cool too.

    I'm leaving in about an hour to take it to Kentucky.

    It would be nice if we could work in some appearances at some bike events along the way, even little local ones.

    Today's ride went great with a few note worthy events.

    I left my house just after 9 am and headed to the BP to meet Roger and his brother and another cool guy that drove all the way from Asheville to ride with us. I forgot his name already I got just about to my turnoff and the road was closed so that put me behind a bit.

    When I got there the boys were ready to ride. There was one Spyder and two really nice Harleys.




    It was a little cool (41) but not too bad. I did change my gloves when I got there. I mapped the route out on the GPS and it took us on some really great roads, not much highway at all. The Spyder was running great and I'm really digging my new Corbin bags. Everyone says it looks like the Batmobile now.

    We were about 6 miles from our meeting place in Jenkins, KY when I looked over at a gas station on the right and saw some crazy biker waving his arms as we drove by. I wasn't sure but I thought it might have been Mike. Sure enough it was and even though he parked his Spyder on the road where I could see it there was a big group of folks around it so I never did see it till we turned around.



    We filled up with fuel and headed south to get some lunch. Turns out there was nothing in Jenkins so it was best to just head back. Mike followed us back.

    We found a Arby's and pulled in there to take a few pics and to sign the banner. At first I was thinking that only SpyderLover members should sign the banner but then I thought that's not right, these guys drove a couple of hundred miles with us and they earned the right to sign the banner.




    You got to understand that Mike is missing a leg and his left arm it pretty messed up too but he still made the trip and it was a lot colder where he started from. I've ridden with this guy in many states and even Canada, he's a real hardcore rider.
    Here's where I handed it off to Mike to make it's way to New York.



    While we were in line at the Arby's I asked Roger if he saw that dead cat I hit. He said yea I flinged it up at him and then he flinged it back at is brother. That cat got around. Then his brother told us a story about a week old possiom that he hit that flew up in his face and had him puking his guts out for over an hour. It was a great story, just not at lunch time.

    Mike rode a little while longer and split off somewhere, I never did see him leave. We took another route home and I let the Spyder open up a bit on a long open highway. GPS said 101 and speedo said 110.

    Somewhere along the way my XM radio decided to give me fits and I was messing with it driving down the road and I hit the kill switch. That was fun.

    We pulled off at a DQ and got some ice cream and shared a few more stories. All and all it was a great day. When we went to leave my Spyder had the "check engine" light flashing and then it went into limp mode. I had a feeling what it was so I popped the fuse box cover and sure enough two of the relays had come loose. The road going into the DQ was pretty ruff and I think that's what might of done it. Rogers Corbin backrest had popped out and was sitting on the rear seat when we pulled in so I'm sure that's what it was. I did pull all the relays when I got home and took some needle nose pliers to them and gave each prong a little twist so they stay in there better next time I hit a big bump.

    So now the banner has been pasted on and I can't wait to read the stories and look at the pictures of the next adventure it will take. This was a lot of fun and I hope you all get to be a part of it in the future.

    lamonster, after a year of seeing pics of you and your Spyder, its strange not seeing a big yellow trailer behind your ride. Keeping that new paint job under wraps for a special occasion?

    That's awesome, Lamont!

    I'm hurrying to get some NMN peg extenders, new pegs, a new tank bag (as well one of those shop manuals on CD) so the banner can ride in comfort and style when it comes to our leg of the trip!
