Rando,
That ride sounds great, I told bjt about your post and he will read it when he isn't busy. If we aren't doing anything, maybe we can come down and ride in that. It sounds like a great day.

I might be interested in this one too..... not too far from home.... a good trial run for a longer trip!

My wife and I may be able to make this ride on sunday also. Not too far for us either.

So since the last 9,000 feet is on the runway...... will they let us open them up???? :doorag:

bjt and I are considering it. We would have to ride two up on his Spyder, as mine is going in for my custom paint job tomorrow. He is going to start on Wed. I highly doubt I'll be able to pick it up by the weekend. We haven't had a chance to talk about it yet, but it is a definite possibility. I will post for sure before the end of the week. Maybe we can arrange a meeting place. We would be coming from the Grand Blanc area.

Did you let them keep your whole bike... or just take the panels in?

Of course, no posted speeds for a runway!

After talking it over with dltang last night, we will not be doing this ride this weekend. I have been kinda busy the past few weekends and would like a day to just vegetate and she said she is going to work a evening shift that day so we would have the additional "pressure" of making sure we were back home in time for her to make it to work. Plus, the downside of this crappy Michigan economy , we need to be mindful of our extra cash and I figure it would be at least $50 in entry fee and fuel costs, not to mention any extra goodies we would want to "impulse buy". I think it's better that we save that cash for the Homecoming. Too bad as it does sound like a good time and a chance to hook up with a few other Spyder owners.
