• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software.

Lake of the Ozark

Anyone around Lake of the Ozark on Sunday the 31st of May about 4:00 PM? I say a yellow and black one near the Harley dealership as they where entering Lake of the Ozark I was leaving.. My wife had the spyder in the lead and I followed with a Green and Beigh Honda Areo, I had a passenger on the back and who ever it was we EXCHANGED a wave and kept right on going... She (my wife) was on a Black and Gray one..
Just thought I'd ask

Good News

I just received an email They have changed the ending point for the USO ride to on Fort Leonard Wood. I will attach the revised flyer so everyone coming can meet the requirements, I know a few Spyderlovers were hoping for this.
 
Sorry to hear about the " work before pleasure " requirements for you Joe and you also "coolmachine". But I'm glad thay changed the end point to on post.... I think the folks at the post will enjoy seeing a big turnout as well as some real nifty Spyders.... :ohyea::ohyea::ohyea::ohyea::ohyea:

Hope there are still some coming from Kansas, Arkansas, and especially around Kansas City. Just a quick reminder, the deadline for reservations at the contract rate is tommorrow !!!! June 5th.

I won't be down to the hotel till about 8pm on Friday, so if I don't see some of you that evening... ( Joe and Mo Lee ) I'll catch you Saturday morning..... Looking forward to meeting everyone....
 
As the day for departure draws closer, I get more excited about meeting other :spyder2: ryders. For the next week, I plan on ryding as much as I can to develop the necessary butt calluses for the 2 day trip to MO :roflblack:

Am hoping the weather forecast changes (as it usually does) 'cause they're predicting rain on the 11th (my second day on the road)

I am so much looking forward to this one.. MO Lee I contacted Cowtown and they are coming with 3 for sure spyders and maybe a forth one, no word on how much they will get involved as far as the activities goes however they will do the actually ride so thats cool.. Link-up time for them is 8:30 here in Waynesville at Kum and Go, we can talk about this on Friday.. Yah I had an american legion meeting last night and they mentioned this but by the time I got home from the meeting and did some things around the house I kind of forgot about it but this is really good news guys, the Commanding General did the right thing to allow everyone on Fort Leanard Wood since it is a Fort Wood Ride!! Seems as though everything is coming together on this one, just wish there was a few more spyders but thats alright, we still have a lot of riding left and maybe after this one we can put together a "RUN TO THE STATE LINES" ride that would consist of picking up other members from the AR, IL, IA, KS (did I leave any other bordering states out?) we can talk about this one on the 14th... I am looking forward to this..

See ya all soon oh and as the Captain said, make you reservation if you plan on spending the night today is the dead line!

PS: irish2themax I hope the weather holds out for ya brother!!

Joe
 
Thanks for the heads up Captainryder I'll check with Joe and see if he still wants to come up Friday night. I believe we have one more local guy coming on the ride at least. I did read something yesterday saying the route of travel will be the outer road instead of the interstate, which is pretty much all historic Rt 66. I hope everyone reads the clothing requirements for entering the Fort sounds like those of us with stickers still have to wear the hot gear.
Irish you be careful on your trip, when I bought the silver spyder I really wanted a red one so it would be easier to be seen. Since that time I've decided the spyder is different enough that cage drivers see it so well they are dangerous to us and every other vehicle around.
 
One more week

Only one more week before the Mid-Missouri Spyder invasion! Looking back thru previous posts it still sounds like we will muster more than 10 Spyders. I'm working on contacting a couple more local local riders that don't seem to be on this web site. Joe do you have a way to contact the lady with the yellow Spyder? Hope to see meet a lot of Spyder folks lets hope as the time draws near more will decide to join in the fun.

TEN Spders:f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider::f_spider:

That's a really good first showing for Mid-Missouri meet. Hope there are a few more surprises !

Irish...ride safe !!

AS for the post requirements for clothing, I'm just glad they didn't say knee-high boots ! But it's great we will be getting this show on the post. By the way is this the first year driving onto post? HOpe the stop point is a place were post residences can come by and mingle.

See you all next Friday night or Saturday morning. That parking lot at HD Lebanon is not real big, so there will be alot of us out on the driveway or service road. In any event, I think the Spyders should take up the rear of this group, unless someone has enough pull for the leaders of the pack :thumbup:
 
That's what I was thinking, a Spyder grand final. I'm not sure but I believe 3-4 years ago they finished on post. of course the Post Commander was a Biker and lead the runs then.
 
The ride

I mentioned our USO ride to my good friend Lewis.
He is a Harley driver but as a redeeming quality he is also a past Dust off Pilot. So now we are heading up Thursday to spend some time riding around the lake.
On Friday night we will be waiting for you.

Okay...packing up the :spyder2: tomorrow so I can get an early start Wednesday morning. I put all of the Spyder dealers/phone numbers along the way into my GPS just to be safe. I asked my dealer if I had to do anything special to use the BEST Plus since I have no documentation yet. They said dealer only needs to enter my VIN number into the computer to get confirmation.

So I guess I'll see you all Saturday at Shoneys. My brother and a friend are going to join on their Harleys.
 
Wow this is coming together really nice,, Glad to hear that may are bringing along other riders.. irish2themax be careful and we will link up Saturday Morning for sure... Hey ya Captain,, No need for any of you folks to worry about the required gear to ride on post, this was all waivered by the Commanding General,,, HOWEVER IF you are a soldier in the ride or a DOD Civilian you MUST have on the proper gear,, So therefore it will put MO Lee for sure in the gear and as for me,,, I'm really not sure,, Lee I am a contractor, I don't think I need to wear that stuff do I?? I will figure it out though.... Now as for the Lady with the spyder,, I have emailed her but it says she is "out of the office",, This is the only way I know how to get a hold of her,, I will continue.. Any word from the guy at TMP??

K boys, ride careful as this started to develop and see you soon..

xpeschon
 
Wow it does sound good, hearing the Harleys makes me want to drag out the Valkyries, but thats alright I dusted a few of them last Saturday with the Spyder. I havn't heard from TMP, the gentleman on 28 said he would love to go however his wife has been sick so he can't make it this time. As for the gear I would say it will be a matter of if you have a sticker you need the gear. My plan is to have the gear with me and if they check I will put it on however I've been pretty good a blending in with the crowd before.

Good to hear...means I don't have to bring my spare DOT helmet. (Was thinking of putting the DOT symbol from my Bell on my Givi anyway...LOL) Was running out of room 'cause I'm bringing a cooler of Diet Pepsi and some mods that I'm shanghaing my brother into installing for me.
 
The only thing waived is the requirement for long sleeves, full fingered gloves, Motorcycle safety course, and reflective material. Everyone still must have over the ankle boots, long pants, eye protection (windshield does not count), DOT approved Helmet and at least open fingered gloves. Also proof of insurance, valid drivers license, and registration.
 
We'll be fine.. I am sure as we approach the gate they will have a open lane for all to travel in and it will be a seam-less entrance. I'm not getting wrapped around this.. I plan on just wearing my NON DOD helmet as I always do and they never say anything about it.. I will do the final coordination with Cowtown today and also try to get a hold of Cheryle ( the female that has the spyder) today, hopefully she's back in the office, and you work on the TMP guy.. K, gotta get ready for work now, see ya all soon..

My Givi helmet looks good with a DOT sticker. Made it by DMV this afternoon for my skills test. Now fully legal 3-wheel ryder
