Littlebit and are are thinking about riding our spyders out to this event. I dont know if we are gonna enter. Nothing special about our rides except from being different that the other bikes out there.
Looking at the registration form:

There is an award for Best Club Participation and Best in Show. If we have our local Alabama and Florida Spyders there ( should be at least 5 of us), we might have a chance. I dunno. Never entered one before. I do know that our two Spyders helped get my Parade entry get Best in Show this past Pensacola Christmas Parade.
So, who's in?

I'm supposed to teach martial arts at the Y in Navarre that Sat., but if there is a good response from the other locals, I can trade out and come along.

Martial Arts.... I knew I seen that word before. Sabunim. We say it in class with a reply Kamsahamnida
would be great to have a BIG Spyder turn out to this event. I think we have 6 or 7 Spyders in the area. Lets get together!

I just found 4 more spyder owners on the spyderryder website and invited them over here. Hope to maybe get them to come to the event too
bamaSpyder (from Foley, AL)
RoseMiller (from Lillian, AL)
Nbuchman (from Mobile, AL)
YNDCONSTRUCTION (from Mobile, AL)
If everyone goes thats a possibility of 14 Spyders at this event. That would be AWESOME!

the more the merrier. Tell me it wouldn't be impressive to see that many spyders at a show?

Pretty sure that hollylmh will not be joining us as he said he and his wife were going over to Daytona for Bike Week. Hollylmh says he knows of four other Spyders in the Milton area but does not believe that they are on the website.

Definitely bringing both my Cameras out for this event. Plan on taking lots of pics; of the other vehicles too ;-)
Looks like we got a decent sized group going.
Updated the above list.
Did I read somewhere that TONI is coming? I sent a PM but hadnt heard back.
sabunim, do you know if you could get a hold of Hollylmh to find out if we can make contact with the other milton spyders and invite them out to this event?

[quote=kalavera;74025]Did I read somewhere that TONI is coming? I sent a PM but hadnt heard back./quote]
Don't know if they are or not, just made some random thoughts about routes and meet-up points. They live just a few miles east of our farm just off US-90 in Alabama.
Just got a new HD video camera so am still learning it. I am thinking on one of the RAM mounts to put it on the bars.
-
I am looking forward to this event. It's gonna look cool to have a large group of Spyders together.

well a few of us are gonna ride over from pensacola. I know the promoter's son and he said his dad is excited about a bunch of spyders coming out. I will call him tomorrow to find out about our status. If we dont compete, we could at least be set up among the other bikes to draw the crowd. If we do compete, I am checking to see if we can get a group rate.
i think I read somewhere about a plan.
meeting up with some at the I-10 and hwy 59 exit.
Pensacola, folks can meet up at the McDonalds on pine Forest Road and I-10. Then ride over to pick up some folks at I-10 and Hwy 59 then ride on into mobile. From the map, looks like I-10 west to I-65 north. West on Airpot Blvd, and we could take University Blvd to Grelot Road or Hillcrest Road to Grelot Road. The show is midways on Grelot Road between Hillcrest Road and University Blvd.
I have never organized a ride before. I dont ride in groups often. So maybe I shouldnt be the one to lead this ride.
What time does everyone want to get there? Show starts at 9am. Registration at 8am.
Ya dont have to stay for the whole thing. Littlebit and I were thinking about riding out to the beach in Biloxi afterwards. Depends on how we feel and the weather. I was thinking driving down the beach road on casino row might be kinda cool on the spyders.

I will be in Biloxi the weekend of the 7'th for a concert, was thinking about going on the spyder. So please keep me informed an I'll see if I can make it work.

The route sounds pretty good but we could probably turn more heads if we got off I-10 at the Bayway and went thru the Bankhead tunnel into downtown Mobile and drive straught up Hwy 90 to Azalea Rd and then to Cottage Hill Dr to University to Grelot Road. I grew up in Mobile and my Mom still lives there not too far from the show.
Let me know what you think - call me at 850 525 2859 and we can talk about it.
-
thats fine by me. Like I said, I dont have a lot of experience setting up/leading a ride.
I bow to you either you or sabunim. You guys got more miles on a spyder than I do.

Talked to one of the promoters of this show, this evening. When his son told him, he was excited about the Spyders being there. He said we could enter if we wanted to (cruiser or street bike class is what he thought we might be in). He said we could just set up all our bikes together to show off. So, we enter if we want, otherwise, we get to show our spyder pride.
-
we can finalize the route soon - any ideas about the time you want to arrive in Mobile.
also I sent a PM to Aubierules and he said he would try and meet us there.
-
the show starts at 9am... registration at 8am...
takes 45 min to get there?
i dunno... what were yall thinking?
