Actually, we were there looking at a wing/hack setup, and noticed it parked outside like possibly it was going out on or just came back from a test ride. We noticed you got one of InspectorGadget trunk racks.. I like the plastic hoses on the cross pieces! Gonna steal that idea!

See yall Sunday,eh?

Yup be there with bells on if the bike runs that long, lol....

That is 1/4" vinyl that I silt lenght wise with a little jig I made up. It is just a bit sticker than the power coating so things stay put better and it protects the finish.

See you then,

Randy

I couldn’t make it today but anxiously awaiting pictures and a report

Eighteen Spyders! We made quite the spectacle out there on the road. Thanks, Joe, for setting up a great ryde. We had a blast. It was great seeing old friends, and meeting new ones.

The "official" photographer, our lady Seattle (Cindy) will, I'm sure, be posting up some higher quality pix. But here's one (hopefully it loads okay) with most but not all of the bikes. Cindy did a better job of lining everybody up to get all of the bikes in the shot.

Another Group shot

 

[Seattle]

Need to sort through the 350+ photos I've taken today to weed and toss the bad shots; based from a quick preview, I'll just confirm there are a LOT of those!

The two raw videos captured between myself and Joe will take time to edit and pare down to under 10 minutes, highlighting the most picturesque portions of our ryde.

It was terrific connecting with familiar friends as well as meeting the new people... which I hope we'll see over the summer for upcoming planned rydes. A special thanks goes out to both Lifestyles Honda for the coffee and donuts and Clem's Enumclaw Powersports for their generosity buying the group lunch .

Joe - Many thanks for being an awesome chauffeur... again.

Posted this on Facebook, but gotta share it here too. Our very own Seattle, looking for something she's lost... Title of the picture is "Has Anybody Seen A Pearl Earring?"



And no, our Spyders don't look like that, but I don't have any 3D models of Spyders, unfortunately...

OMFG, that is freakin' GREAT! :bowdown:

 

[bluestratos]

I had a great day, thanks for getting us all together! We have to keep it up now, I would love to do some overnighters, or at least day rides to Leavenworth or Winthrop for example.

I also want to thank Kevin (my salesman) and all the folks at Lifestyles Honda for the "Starbucks" coffee and doughnuts and Enumclaw Power sports for the great lunch. Randy is their mechanic and was fasinating to listen to and pick his brain.

I will try to get some pictures on line soon as well.

Regards,

Randy

I would also like to say wow that was a fun ride and seeing everyone from the Oyster Run and meeting new Spyder friends. I also want to thank Lifestyles Honda for the coffee and Randy from Enumclaw Power Sports for the great lunch and all the Tech Info he was giving us about our different Syders (RT/RS).
:yes: :clap:

 

[Radthorne]

OMFG, that is freakin' GREAT! :bowdown:

And my thanks as well to our buddies at Lifestyles Honda and Enumclaw Powersports. It's great to have such nice dealer support!

 

[Seattle]
