MISSOURI RENDEZVOUS

[xpeschon]

It's been awhile since I have posted but Deb you are correct, although I pray that the weather will be in our favor I can't help but think that no matter what Mother Nature has in store for us that week-end its gonna be good, lets just hope that it's not as hot as when we all did the "Missouri Express" with you and Brian.. I'm getting :2excited:about the whole week-end.. See ya soon..

As Gene said last June some Missouri Spyderlovers wanted to get together and someone suggested the annual USO Run to support the troops. Seven Spyders made this event and grabbed most of the attention both along the route and at all stops. We made friends with each other and found out we all spoke the same language (Spyder Language). We parted with a feeling of "Wow that many Spyders in one place, what fun". This event in Cuba has the potential to top that little get together 10X over, and probably will. Not only is Len of Cowtown humbled by the turn out, but I think I can speak for the rest of the gang and say we all are. Here is a link to a thread with some good pictures of the USO run I know there is a lot more out there but this is the 1st ones I found.

And probably one of the best pictures I remember is this one and if you join us in Cuba next weekend I think you will see most of these faces again.

Sorry B...
Work is pretty hectic right now. :gaah: I will be going to Chicago with Firefly in June and we'll also be in Gatlinburg again this year.

Sorry to hear you can't make it (we will miss you). This has turned into a big Event hyea:
Many pixs and video's will be taken from many of us :2thumbs:
"Gatlinburg and Lamont's BBQ" has been marked on our calendar, see you there

Len, I can't thank you and Gene and the rest of the Missouri Express for the even you have planned. It has really blossomed and I am so happy to be a part of it. I just pray that the weather is cooperative too. Regardless, it will be a great time though.

:agree:This was a great idea! Looks like the weather is going to be in our favor, lets just hope it stays that way. :agree: with you Joe, no matter what the weather condition is going to be, fun we will have hyea::yes:

 

[BumbleBee]

Looks like this may be bigger than the BRP event. :2thumbs:hyea:

Now that's something to Celebrate :2thumbs:

Fanning 66 Outpost Welcomes Spyders

We thought this might be a really great photo-op for the group and it's one of the stops on the itinerary. Unfortunately, we can't get up in the chair (the fire department does that for folks as a fundraiser in August), but a bunch of Spyders around the base should be pretty cool!

Irish,
Was brainstorming on some ways you could be with us.
1. I won't ride with Len for all of the rides, so maybe you could ride behind him--he doesn't mind if you cuddle. :doorag:
2. I don't think Virginia will be riding with Gene, you can probably ride on his Spyder with him. I think he might mind if you cuddle. :dontknow:
3. If you wanted to ride by yourself, I have a local friend with a moped. I'm sure they would let you borrow it. We'll let you start the ride on Friday night and maybe you could meet us all for breakfast on Sunday morning. :clap:
4. Send an 8x10 pic of you and I'll make sure to be your "official" photographer for the weekend. I promise to catch pics of all the "fun" you are having--the rocking chair, Rt 66, giving Gene a hard time, enjoying a babycake at the after party, and the country club breakfast the next morning.

I'm there for you! Just let me know, I sure don't want you to miss out hyea:

This is probably the funniest post in this whole thread. If Irish don't get a picture here in time maybe we can find one and blow it up to 8X10. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

You may want to enlarge the Chihuahua on his shirt----I believe that is the famous Guinness Smithwick sitting on the table----as I recall he kept adding from the Coors Light can--- so just one would last all night.
I have no objection if you want to crop the picture into an 8x10 of the dog beer.

The Coors Light can was there because the rest room was too far away. Won't tell you where I emptied it

Maybe I'll get to meet you guys. I'm having my Spyder worked on at Cowtown on May 13th so I'm comfortable that it's ready for our X-country trip.

 

[BumbleBee]

It's not too late, still time for you to come,
join us in our great Fest :2thumbs:

So far looks like the weather is going to be great, mid 70's.

I made from Redding CA to Needles CA yesterday. No pics but it was a great ride. Heading over to see Big Joe at Kewlmetal right now. See you guys there. :doorag:

 

[spyder30517]

Looks as if I will be joing you!

I think I got another spyder peep to join the ride from Fl to MO..

" Wheeler " and is sporting a RT.. we both are meeting up with Doc in Wildwood, Fl 10:00 AM Thur Apr 15, and will arrive in Cuba at 10: AM or before on Fir Apr 16. Most likely before, if Doc Leads some of the way.:roflblack:

Well I think I will be making the ryde from Florida with the rest of the gang :yes: making 4 Spyders ! Forrest - HE MADE ME DO IT! So did Wheeler and Doc!


Getting ready to book the hotel now - now how/where do we sign the guest list?

Looking forward to 20 hrs of ryding :shocked: hyea:

Sounds great.

Only if we stop for 3 hours...:roflblack:

 

[RTGENE]

and it grows

Spyder 30517---Your now on the list.
I hope you make it in time for Friday's planned evening ride with Len.
We will be looking for you.

[SethO]

I hope you find some more people that ride like you and forest, it would be awsome to do some street "testing" on on twisty roads, the usual wager?

For those who have not raced against doc, he is LEGIT, and one of those people who have a similar outlook on riding.

Things keep getting better. Glad to hear you're signing on. Going to be a fun few days! Where did you book your hotel reservations. Doc, Forrest and I are 3 deep in a room. Let me know!

Hopefully the locals know of a nice stretch somewhere so we can run em' !
