2013 events

[Boots]

where do I get information for 2013 Spyder events ? thankyou

 

[NancysToy]

Just stay tuned here. For the most part, the details for these are not announced until several months ahead of time. If there isn't a specific thread on here, there will usually be a mention, so you can look things up elsewhere. Typical major events are:

Spyderfest - April
BRP Spyder Owners' Event - June
Magog - July?
Spyders in the Redwoods - August
Spyders in the Adirondacks - August
Lamonster BBQ - September

What is MAGOG?

 

[ARtraveler]

I believe that is a gathering of :spyder2:,s in Canada.

 

[BikerDoc]

What is MAGOG?

Canadian Spyderfest

oooohhhhh IC. Thanks guys. Might have a few events to get to this year. Glad I am swapping out the seat, gonna need the padding. I was thinking about hitting Americade this year, since it is so close. I foresee a lot of myles on the odometer before this season is out.

 

[Bob Denman]

Otter,
Whereabouts is East Pharsalia?

 

[otter28169]

If you drew a triangle between Syracuse, Utica, and Binghamton dead in the center You would have Norwich, NY. I am 11 miles west of there. About 4 miles south of State Route 23.

I have plans to attend Americaide as well--perhaps we will "run" in to each other :cheers:

 

[otter28169]

Yeah, if I changed my route and somehow ended up In Syracuse just off of I-90. That would be "weird". Then we would have to go to "The Dinosaur BBQ" for lunch or something.:clap:

 

[Bob Denman]

That's a good thing to know; YOu're in SpyderJockey's back yard (Homer, NY)
I KNOW I've got his screen name misspelled... pps:

We're heading to SpyderFest in the same group; wanna ride along???

 

[otter28169]

If I can get free I would definitely love to ryde with you guys. It would be my first long trip with "the mistress" and it would be great to ryde with people I know. Spyderjockey and I will hopefully be doing a lot of ryding together this season. He does ryde right past my house on his way to the bike night at Gilligan's in Sherburne every week. I got a lot of prep to do if I am gonna go. My hand should be fine by that point, so that is one less thing to worry about. I am also hoping to be starting a new job soon, which means I gotta see if I can get the time. And I gotta get the mistress prepared for a long tour, including strapping a bag to bring clothes along. The next couple weeks will tell whether I am headed to Spyderfest or not. Gotta get my ducks in a row or the wife will not be easy to convince. I am hopeful though, and I don't give up easily.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you...:thumbup:

Boots...We're gonna do Spyderfest of course....Lamonts BBQ is a must do and we're also gonna go back to Spyders inthe Adirondacks...guessing around 4500 miles...not counting the local Michigan Rides to Hell, Artesian Wells and other stops on our quest to find the best BBQ or pizza in the State of Michigan....If you want to add to the list of must do's, just post it...Forgot to mention the annual trip to Petosky to do the Tunnel of Trees, watch for Bob & Joan to post details for this year..
Won't be a problem ever to get other folks to ride with you almost any time. I'd like to make a trip over to Ontario to meet more of our Canadian friends. Anybody can take the lead...throw your ideas out.
