Would you like a $100 per day help on your Spyder Owners Event trip?

[Lamonster]

I highly doubt BRP would disqualify someone for towing whatever kind of trailer they want..... Heck... Lamont towed that Bushtek all over kingdom come with his RS using a non-BRP hitch and harness--- and they obviously have not shied away from him doing videos and whatnot.

Tow what ya want!

:agree:
I think reckless driving (speeding) would be more of a disqualifier than towing a trailer. I'm not saying doing the speed limit the whole way but if your goal is to run 90mph the whole way that is not going to make the camera crew happy. :lecturef_smilie:
nojoke

Again, I highly doubt BRP would be ok with towing another companys trailer when they sell one. That does not make any sense from a business standpoint when they are making a video to promote THEIR product.

If Lamont was working for BRP when this happened making a video for BRP then I stand corrected. But I find it hard to believe they would condone and make a video for promotion with something that they state specifically not to do.

I do agree with Lamont about the 90 MPH thing.

FORREST ALL THE WAY. HE CAN PULL MY TRAILER. New decals for the front of FL Express original members STKR. Slower Traffic Keep Right

I tend to ride at a small amount above the speed limit, I mean really, we are on an engine and frame with a seat on it , besides being sexy, it just screams to be asked to perform.

Also, all my assumptions about the florida express are 100% based on the kind of comments that very well could be jokes on the forum. I seem to get the feeling that Doc and Forrest and the Hulligan crew prefer speed to not speed, I am not trying to cause trouble, I actually have a lot of respect for them, my cowardly gizzard keeps my speed in check... most of the time.

I will edit my previous post as to not "point a finger" I am very sorry.

 

[dave01]

Nope, you are right. Better to be in front of the traffic than behind or in it. But, Doc speeds up to catch the next bunch. We just follow along.

Thanks,

Doc rides like a bar outta hell and that ain't no joke.

IMHO, for BRP everything about Florida x-Press is a disqualifier; see the differences in explaining the term "hard core ryder".

That's too bad. I thought you were going to be here in time to ride to the crest of the mountain. Well I certainly look forward to meeting you, Forrest, and the whole Florida crew!

We are ryding in a moderate size group from Florida and Georgia; thought that was towards the end of the BRP event....:dontknow:

 

[murphybrown]

Heck Yes Pick Me!!!

• Where you’re riding from and how many expect miles
• Who you’re riding with
• What route you’re taking
• How long you think the ride will take you
• Why you think you’d make a great story for BRP’s YouTube channel

Ryding from Chelan, WA...approx miles 1300 miles not counting the ABQ leg. 1900 with ABQ leg..Mapquest shows WA-OR-ID-UT-NM-CO (that is a mapquest figure..see below..could be longer if need be)

Ryding with Another grannie on a red RT...she is a new owner...this will be her first overnighter

That is open to be decided..try for the most scenic with the least amount of freeway driving
How long: Depends would adjust to accommodate film crew and what they are wanting to accomplish.. the answer is flexible to accommodate

Then 70 years young and had never ridden motorcycles before making the decision to purchase spyder...never even sat on the RT...bought thru the internet...learned to drive "her" in WalMart parking lot...I'm a great grannie, single and a passionate Spyder loving owner who rydes whenever she can...i.e. 19 degrees today..but sunny...so I'm ryding...and I love to travel on RT...bought mine end of May 2010 and have 22k+ miles (winter of 2010-2011 was not conducive to ryding so she was garaged for 3 months). This year my planned trips are to NovaScotia via Spyderfest 2012...then ABQ/Durango for BRP event....Alaska in August...of course shorter trips in between these "planned" trips...

Uh OH Forrest. You have some serious competition here!!!!!!!!!! :shocked:

 

[flamingobabe]

This would be too cool...I just won the $100. gas card so really someone else should be picked for this one.....but....here goes....

Where you’re riding from and how many expect miles Friendswood, Texas mapquest says 1160 miles...but I never go the
most direct route
Who you’re riding with will be riding with my husband, aka hotglue, he rides a Valkyrie and/or a Harley...hopefully we will meet up
with different folks along the way, normally we ride alone
What route you’re taking we will head north...west...northwest on the 1st day and 2nd day continue to Albuquerque, NM...3rd day
then north to Durango, CO
How long you think the ride will take you 3 days...could do it in 2 days...but want to do the Albuquerque gig...plus it will be 100+
degrees and traveling in hot temps takes a little longer....more frequent stops ...100
miles or so to hydrate and cool down
Why you think you’d make a great story for BRP’s YouTube channel We are retired.....I purchased my 2009 RS SE-5 Spyder on May 24 2010, used with 1700 miles...today I have 32,000 something miles...so far I have been to 40 of the continuious 48 states....on my Spyder (traveled as passenger for 16 years and 48 states 2+ times, Mexico and 7 Provinces of Canada)...will attend SpyderFest in April, July - ??? about 8 or 9 weeks I will catch the other 8 states, Spyders in the Redwoods and Alaska is a big maybe. Nephew is getting married in Seattle in August...so we are half way to Alaska....murphybrown...maybe we should hook up....I have modified my Spyder for traveling long distances without a trailer...I love my Spyder...in the pink.....

 

[effgjamis]

Uh OH Forrest. You have some serious competition here!!!!!!!!!! :shocked:

yep you are correct.. I met MurphyBrown while I was in Eureka, CA as part of the Spyder Triangle ride, (8,150 miles), and she is quite the LADY, very nice and a pretty good looking girl. However, at that time of year I will be 79 years 11 months 3 weeks in age, if my math is correct, and 2,100 + miles vs 1,300 (MurphyBrown's).
I think it would be super if both MurphyBrown and myself had a BRP camera crew following us on the trip... I think that would be a HOOT.

Hey Forrest I can duplicate you mile for mile :roflblack::roflblack: (just a small correction :lecturef_smilie: since I am going Chelan to ABQ to Durango that is closer to your 2100 miles ( plus by Durango the age adjustment for me will be 71 years 4 months 23 days...give or take a couple days!!!!...plus I have a real problem keeping Ms Spyder from wandering down sideroads). BUT then it all goes gunny bag, well garbage bag...there is absolutely no way I can compete with your designer luggage aka..hefty bags...see you at Spyderfest...

 

[ThreeFeet]

Mysef, Dave01, Doc and others at Wildwood Florida, not sure of the count as yet. Could be as many as 6 + spyders

The map shows from Tampa, but I am leaving from Kissimmee ( Orlando ), in the middle of the state and we are meeting at Wildwood, Fl
The one way trip is about 2,100 miles one way and will be making 2 overnight stops.. looks like 3 days.
Why I should be picked.... Well I have ridden many miles, attended many events ( BRP events as well ) and I am not a spring chicken.

Would you believe an AUTUM DUCK???

Sandia Mountain is in Albuquerque. No worries, I'm sure we'll do lots of great riding in Durango! :yes:

See ya on the 20th!
