Check-in on your ryde home from SpyderFest '15

[PrairieSpyder]

Just checking in to say I am home. I had a bad cross-wind from Bolivar to Kansas City and went through about 20 miles of light rain south of KC. Then a strong head-wind as I came west.

Back in Kansas and "There's no place like home!"

Ride was great and see you next year.

Wandering home, via Amarillo, Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, and of course I have to visit my money in Las Vegas. I know a wooze, I'm trailering the bike.

This was my first SF and just wanted to say that PB and MO Gang couldn't of done a better job putting this all together. Will be back next year for sure.

It was also great meeting a bunch of you. Wasn't able to make a deal on a 2015, but I'm not home yet.

Home safe here. Bit windy, but nothing Keira couldn't handle. I had a great time and look forward to further fests, etc.! :yes:

 

[5legsshort]

We too made it safe-n-sound. Quite windy on our path also. Can't wait to get our sway-bar installed, next on the hit list for our RT. Hope all travels for everyone is safe too.
Sure was a great 1st Spyderfest for us- A BIG thanks to everyone that made it happen in such a great fashion. Can't wait for next year!!! See ya then...

Made it safely to Lebanon TN for my first night's stop. Saw another Spyder in TN on I-24 west of Nashville. They waved as they went by.

 

[ChicoFowler]

Made it back to Omaha, NE - ran into the same winds, but were fortunate enough to miss the rain. Coming into Omaha, we skirted around the storm and made it home without any rain. Real strong winds though.

SpyderFest was 'AWESUME' --- the weather was exceptional and it might be a long time before this type of weather dominates SpyderFest like this again.

Great time and thanks to everyone who was involved.

We too are back in Kansas! Glad we trailered the bike to Spyderfest. Those cross winds PRAIRIE SPYDER experienced were indeed STRONG. We too encountered a couple of showers but are glad to be back. Things here are in good shape, lots of mowing ahead! Hope our wandering cat shows back up soon. Otherwise we are home and getting ready to hit the classrooms again tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone for your cares, concerns---and time shared at Spyderfest. It was a GREAT week and the weather was awesome. In fact there is now a Tornado Watch just been issued to our north- which just reminds me how truly blessed we all were this year for this event with the entire week of perfect weather.

There are so many involved in this weeks events, I can't call them out one by one, but all of MoGang and Len and Lamont, the shop crew, the spouses, the hotel hosts, just THANK YOU- THANK YOU---and THANK YOU so so much!

We are indeed a special group of people and we are blessed to be a part of this. GOD BLESS and GOD SPEED as we say good bye to this fun week and return to what ever may lay ahead!

Deke and Sara made it home! This probably sounds like no big deal, but we made it home by ambulance and wrecker after last year's Spyderfest, so we're relieved to have made it home on 3 wheels this time!

Riding home

Made Amarillo, TX. Started the day digging a nail out of my tire, plugging it, and liberally coating myself with rubber cement, rubber, dirt, and sweat. It seems that they rode lots better with air inside! Hit a bit of rain/hail/ high winds. SpyderAnn threw a mystery code. Had dinner at the big Texan; watched a tiny Ukrainian girl polish off a 72 ounce steak! 54 minutes flat! Very entertaining. New Mexico and Arizona tomorrow. Great ride! Great event, great friends! Will update tomorrow! Cheers! Joe

Home in Michigan

Made it home to Michigan. Great time as usual.

Home On the Horizon

Leave Springfield in couple hours. Weather radar says rain awaits me. 2200+ miles await Studley and me. Plan on Thurs arrival. Patriot Guard mission on Friday. So need to make some serious miles. Stay tuned. The murph is getting ready to grind coffee beans and saddle up. Total awesome Spyderfest, but soooo agree NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!!

 

[joebryanjr]

Home about 3:30 PM to Dardenne Prairie, MO, just 240 mi.
Great weather all of the way.

 

[copilot]

Made it back home around 1:00 tired and broke. I was doing good on spending money until my wife showed up Friday and met the Triclid group.

 

[Lamonster]

Made it back to Nixa MO, it was a nice ride.

I used to live in Amarillo, but never actually watched anyone eat the Big Texan challenge. It was great meeting you and Ann and also great getting the RT Squared Away. I decided to have the laser alignment for better tire longevity, but didn't really expect improvement in handling. I was wrong. The trip back to Dallas compared to the trip to Springfield showed clear improvement. Thanks for the service you provide and your integrity in doing it right.
