WOW, FIRST SPYDERFEST EXPERIENCE

[MikeT]

SOOOO much to say, so little time to say it.
1. I now understand what everyone posted over the years about the " Farkle Sickness". Spent way to much time and money @ Vendor Village. Made sure my better half had input into, and got to enjoy some of my purchases (Ultimate Passenger Backrest & Misty Mountain Sheepskin Full Seat Cover). Thanks Bob D for the input on the UPB.
2. Stayed @The Best Western Coach House. Thank You KING Cruzer Joe and Shelia for keeping The Party Going, and making these NewBs feel welcome.
3. It was an amazing experience to finally be able to put faces to names on the forum. I think BRP should stop using "hollywood types" in their advertising/marketing. The real Spyder Lovers are much more interesting.
4. Thank you MO GANG and Pit Bull for ALL the planning and efforts that it takes to pull off such a GREAT event, especially when the weather is intermittently uncooperative.
5. I'd want to give a SHOUT OUT to 2 Vendors that gave this NewB ​OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE:
A. SpyderAnn01 & CaptJam (SQUARED AWAY). Sorry, I forgot the name of your Louisiana assistant; but thank him for his "push" for me to get the Ron Bar while my RTL was already at SPYDERPOPS.
B. Harvey(SPYDERPOPS) and family.
What a way to get welcomed to the Spyder Family. Hope everyone made it to their homes, or final destinations safely.

Great review...

Sounds like things went well for you at the fest...:clap:now to start saving up for the next one...:thumbup:

 

[PrairieSpyder]

:agree: with all of the above.

 

[Girlfrn]

Another happy spyder rider.

We had a wonderful week as well. I kept thinking how much preparation must have gone into to making this such a fun event. Meeting new people and going on rides were two of my favorites.

SpyderFest numbers

Does anyone have numbers for how many Spyder's attended the event?
Pictures, etc.

really planned on going but pinched nerve in my neck prevented the trip.

Thank you

Mike, our pleasure! Dax is our friend from Lousiana, and he will be a sister dealer for Rolo laser alignments in that area. He is great! Glad you had a good time, and hope to see you again. Ride up to Kalamazoo when we are there! Joe

Mike did you get your newB certificate? If not PM me your email address and I will send it to you. Glad you had a great time it's always been a very positive experience for me being at Spyderfest.

And you learned a new trick on your Spyder.

And you learned a new trick on your Spyder.

YES I DID. My thanks to you for the tutorial.

Ditto...they did a great job. Some improvements could be made, but for our first 'Fest, we were pretty impressed. Spent waaay too much money, but it's worth it. Talking about what we'll do differently next year already. We'll definitely stay at a more "hopping" hotel next time, and hopefully get more riding in.
That darn rain really killed my credit card and checking acct. :banghead:

Mike,
It was a pleasure having you and your Bride as neighbors. :thumbup:
Thanks for keeping me out of trouble, and I'm sorry about the backrest!
