BRP Ride with 600 Harley Riders and Two Spyder Riders

[WaltH]

Just got back from a wonderful ride with 600 Harley riders and one other Spyder rider. We went from Roanoke Virginia to Asheville, North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP ). This is the 75th year of the road.

Last year, I was the only Spyder rider on the National HOG rides. This time there was another rider. It was a woman riding a yellow Spyder with her husband riding a Harley. She is not a Spyderlover, but I encouraged her to join. I hope she does.

We have increased Spyder participation on the National HOG rides by 100 percent from last year. At this rate of increase we shall soon out-number the Harleys.

There was considerable interest in my Spyder and I did not hear any negative comments, but the woman rider did get negative feedback from one person (high ranking Harley employee). The Harley riders themselves seemed to be interested, or they just ignored me.

My next Harley ride is Route 66 in September.

There was an article in the Asheville Citizen Times about the event, including pictures. Might this be you?

Man that is a beautiful ryde. We did it last year at Spyders in the Smokies. Missed our destination and ended up in Asheville. Man what a blast. Plan on doing it again this year. Glad you had a great time.

MAN!!! i was in CUBA,MO with pit bull buggy or i would have been there for at least part of the way. i have two an rt and rs here in boone, nc and cant find any other spyder riders in the area to ride so we went to mo and enjoyed our ride. sorry that you were left hanging with the rude harley guys, well not all are we passed fifty harleys on the way home and they wouldn't even look, so we just twisted the throttle and smoked'em. i couldn't believe they were like that i mean i didn't make them buy a harley hahahaah:shemademe_smilie:
