• 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. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Where will Spyderfest be held.

I would love Branson for the roads and hotel choices but... We would lose the famous Cowtown service center! I always stay in Rolla. The drive is not bad and the Mogang keep us so busy I never need or have time to go to the hotel anyway.

Anyone ever stayed in St James during Spyderfest? I have reservations at the Days Inn in St James but having never been to Spyderfest I know nothing about this hotel or St James. Past Spyderfest attendees...anxiously awaiting your feedback. Thanks

Last year the Days Inn in St. James was book full with Spyderfest attendees and most said that really were well treated :2thumbs:. I'm sure someone who stayed there will chime in!
 
Yes the Days Inn in St James was great. The staff even put wipe down rags on the bike each morning for us. I have reservations there for Spyderfest 2013 already.

That's great news. They still had rooms available earlier this week when I made my reservations. Looking forward to Spyderfest 2013...hope the MoGang decides to keep Spyderfest in Cuba.
 
Spyderfest, the Owners Event and my BBQ are the only three Spyder events I know for sure I'll be at, I only know where one will be next year but that's not stopping me from making plans. It's about the people not the location. :doorag:

I think I know the location of one of those events as well :shocked:

It's always about the people. And the Spyder community has some of the greatest folks I know.:doorag:

Let the fun begin!!
:clap:
 
Dates

Read a lot about Spyderfest 2013 and locations. Cuba sounds fun and I love traditions. Hit Sturgis for the first time this year. Two day drive to get there but worth every mile and minute. Its on my yearly event list now. Would love to do the same with Cuba. I plan on attending but I haven't read anything on the dates of the event yet. Is there any iteniary yet? Help me out so I can get my vacation scheduled. It will be a three day ride to Cuba but I'm looking forward to it. Date Please.

The dates are set. 4/24-4/27. This has been noted in several place here on SL. It;s the location that is currently up in the air. But you will be safe in scheduling your vacation based on those dates.
 
Best days to be there?

If I can only be there for two of the four days, which two days would be best? First two, middle two, or last two???
 
I have never been to Spyderfest and this year will be my first. My vote is Branson. With all the delay, procrastinators will probably have a very difficult time finding accommodations for the event with all of them trying to make reservations the same day! Branson has a huge inventory of accommodations and available options!
Just my view!
I am with you on Branson! Always wanted to go there and to Spyderfest! What a great way to experience them both at the same time!!!

Guess we can show up in Cuba on 4/24 and ask where to go.

We were there last year and they did treat us good. In the morning they gave us towels to dry of the bikes. Nice place. We are waiting to find the location for this year before we make reservations.
 
I was at the Days Inn and never saw a towel. It was a nice place. My wife said the rooms smelled kinda musty but I think that was from whatever was in the bottle of room spray. The management was really good even though I had some problems checking in, but it was ironed out ok. Computer problems. The folks around Cuba are just great. Would we get that same atmosphere anywhere else? Do you think the motels in Branson would allow Spyders in the lobby so repairs could be done out of the rain? And Friday Nite Lites at the drive in blew me away!
 
I have reservations at the Ladybug Campground. If the location moves far away, so can my reservations.
 
Looking forward to meeting everyone

I am looking forward to meeting everyone that I chat with on Spyderlovers at Spyderfest. Putting faces on names and logos. It won't be hard to get adjusted, I feel like I already know more than half of yall. In fact just this Saturday while getting my alignment done on my RT I had someone who has been reading my posts came over to meet me. Another spyder owner. He has a 2011 RT/LTD. He is a guest on spyderlovers, he needs to get logged in and get to know everyone. I took a picture of our RT's side by side. See you at Spyderfest 2013.IMG_0717.jpg
