CALLING ALL USO RIDERS PLEASE SEE THE MESSAGE ABOVE IT WAS POSTED BY ONE OF OUR BROTHERS SOMETIME TODAY!!!!

Mo Lee have you heard anything about this? I have not but you can bet that I will make some phone calls tomorrow.. Check this out all spyder riders---If this is true (and I actually believe it is but till I actuall here it from Fort Leonard Wood) this means that we can ride on POST without any waiver simply cause we have 3 wheels on the ground, WOW this is really cool cause my wife can now drive the spyder to work.... But again, I have to hear it from the Safety office here in Fort Leonard wood!! If you have ever spent any time in the Armed Services you know as well as I do that each Command must abide by the regulations however they CAN adjust to a more stronger restrictions, lets keep our fingers crossed,, Now look at the message above..

Lets ride boys the spyder is running strong..

Although I live in WV, my brother just moved to Camdenton MO. If my SE5 is running well, I may make a road trip. Anything for the troops is a worthwhile event
 
irish2themax--This would be a GREAT oppertunity for you to visit your brother,, Camdenton is right around the corner, would really be nice if you could make it.. Keep us posted, the final planning will begin soon so stay tuned.. June is perfect weather to ride in MO...

As for kcmess you got it but for planning purposes as soon as you know you can either MAKE it or BACK out of it PLEASE post a message cause of Hotel reservations for a overnight stay.. Thanks and lets hope the both of you make it..

Joe
 
I just spoke with my brother and have made plans to travel to Camdenton a couple of days ahead.

I've never driven a bike before so I'm not exactly sure how long it will take me to become comfortable on the interstate. However, by June I ought to be feel comfortable or I ought to sell my Spyder!!
 
Glad to see that our group is growing! It's nice to have some out-of-towners added. I'm sure we'll have a great time.:thumbup:
 
Final Plan

K this looks really good... I am waiting to hear from the CAPTAIN to complete the final plans.. So stay tuned for an UPDATE to be published on Monday the 18th of May.. This will include an overnight stay at a unknown place as of right now however, by Monday when I post the final plans there will be a hotel link on there for all of you to make your own reservations, so again, STAY TUNED the 13th of June is right around the corner.. Hopefully I will have an answer for you all as to if the ride is ending up on FORT LEONADWOOD or not, keep you fingers crossed lets up it ends up there.... They are still waiting to hear back for the Generals Staff as to see if he is going to approve the waiver, they are still hopefull that this will get approved and if not, thats alright as well but overall it would be nice to at least see the post..

Registration

As far as I know we just register there prior to the run, at least last year that is the way it worked no preregistration required.
 
I would love to join you its an 8.5 hour trip, however the 13th is my birthday and my neighbors are throwing me a party on Friday and my cousin on Saturday. Come to think of it I don't feel like celebrating (I'll be 60) so may be I'll miss my own party. :2thumbs:
 
DannyS if you ride 300 miles on your 60th birthday to make this run I'll buy you a Birthday cake. Hwy 54 is a great ride and gets you real close.

Lee
 
It's not 300 miles its 540. I really would like to go but I think I am going to have to attend the parties and pretend I am enjoying them, may be later in the summer I can make another run. I went to school at Stephens in Columbia and would like to visit some time.

DannyS,

When you return to Columbia let me know. Perhaps we could go for a ride or meet for lunch.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, I've been in Texas with an ill father. But I will be getting back tonight or NLT tommorrow night with final plans. For now, sent XPECHON some final suggestions.

1. Everybody try to meet at 7:30am to 8am in Lebanon, MO at Shoney's for breakfast. 1015 S. Jefferson ST, Lebanon, MO. (Only 2 places with good breakfast in town.... they may be crowded)

2. Optional, meet us at 9am at the Registration/Start POint, Lebanon Harley Davidson.

Those coming down Friday night.... we think that staying in Lake of the Ozarks area Saturday night will be the final stop that day. It's about 35 miles to Lebanon from middle of Osage Beach at Lake of Ozarks area. A 45 minute ride that morning from your hotel to Leabanon Saturday to start the rally won't be too bad.

I suggest that we stay in the 5700 to 6400 block of US Hwy 54 in Osage Beach area at the Lake of the Ozarks, lots of hotels in this 1.5 mile stretch ( think of Branson, alittle less crowded, but lots of traffic, and eats, and resort things along this stretch) The major hotels in this stretch are Super 8, Econo Lodge, Comfort Inn, Rodeway Inn.

After the USO ride we will leave for a ride back to Lake of the Ozarks.... plan on stopping for light lunch as suggested before... then ride one of 2-3 routes to the Lake area.... Options, we can vote on one or decide later: Bennett Spring Park, Ha Ha Tonka State Park, or the Lake Ozark Dam Area . Then check-in later, and dinner.

Plan on farewell breakfast somewhere next morning .... 9am??

More formal plans, contacts, coming. For now... contact me at [email protected].... I work still, so after 5pm most weekdays. or my cell phone is 816-810-3441.....

Looking forward to a great time......
 
Kansas City group.

Let's definitely plan to ride down Friday Afternoon. The earliest I can get away is 2-3pm... It's a 3 hour ride. I'll meet anywhere you want. My job takes me to different locations in Kansas City each day... but June 12th I am in North Kansas City, Vivion Road area. I could take my Spyder to work, then meet up with all somewhere and travel.

Suggested route: US 50 ( instead of I-70) to Sedalia, Turn south on Hwy 65, to Preston, MO at junction of Hwy 54. Then Hwy 54 towards Camdenton and Osage Beach...... hotel

We could meet some of you guys from Kansas also. Hwy 54 runs towards Wichita, KS ??? Anybody coming from that direction???

NOTE 2: Kurt is going to due a RECON on the many different Hotels this week-end and will publish his results and we can go from there, I would recommend that we all stay at the same Hotel however its entirely up to you folks, so STAY TUNED FOR THE HOTEL RESULTS..
We will then all settle in the hotel for about an hour just to get situated and relax a minute… Possible gather at the pool area-/-lobby area and socialize as well
