View Full Version : BajaRon needs some encouragement about going to Spyderfest

I won't say I'm surprised but I will say I'm disappointed. I was talking with BajaRon today and told him he had 18 days to get his Spyder in shape for Spyderfest, that's when I saw the look I've seen many times before :shocked:. He is not fully committed to going and I would take bets that at the last minute he's going to bail on me/us. You see he is a very busy guy and has so many irons in the fire that the fire is fixin to go out. nojoke If you can't take time out of work to spend a little quality time with your friends and in his case customers then what's the point of it all? I think he just needs to feel a little love from you all to make him commit to going no matter what he has to put off for a few days. The guys been retired for years but has less time now than when he had a real job.

So if you would like to see BajaRon at Spyderfest and it just wouldn't be the same without him then let him know on this post. It's easy for him to blow me off but it will be harder if 500 Spyderlovers are looking forward to him going. :doorag:

Hey Ron say it isn't so ???? Man you can take a few days away from the grind and bond with all your fans and customers. Rumour has it Lamont will drive slower so you can keep-up .:roflblack::roflblack:

Uh, Ron. Life's pretty short ... and like I told ya you're one of the people i gotta meet before its too late. :)

So drop the paperwork and packaging, get on the Spyder and make me and hundreds of others happy by blessing us with your presence at Spyderfest.

​Ron, just post on SL that you will be at SpyderFest, leave a note on your email account that you will be at SpyderFest. If others can take a vacation to be there, so can you. Announce this far enough in advance and people will have no excuse to be upset with you if you are gone for a few days. AND, if anyone does get upset, are they really your (good) customers to begin with? THEN when you return, have Lamont help you catch up!!!

I won't be there, But if you want some advice, When i had my Business if i wanted to take a long weekend off, When i left the office on Thursday afternoon as i was walking out the door i would stick a sign on the door be back Monday. Never lost a customer, if you tell them in advance, It's like your asking permission to take time off. Remember its easier to get Forgiveness than to get Permission.

I'm not even going to spyder fest; But I;ll be very upset if you don't put aside WHAT ever you might consider so important an ENJOY some time to kick back and decompress as well as a nice ride to and from. Life is WAY too short not to smell the coffee and the Roses.

Besids which it will all be there for you when your return, refreshed and recharged!!!

But if you hadn't much like the gum tv adds, they show up kid nap you throw you in a van and drop you off....... Think about it, ride your Spyder, enjoy the country side...... OR BE HOG TIED THROWED IN A VAN FLOOR, no windows and be tossed out at spydefest at 30 miles an hour, but hey no worries you decied. :roflblack:nojoke:yikes::doorag: I'll make the phone call

Whatever decision you make will be the best one for you.

However, I have to add that It was a pleasure to meet you at the last SpyderFest last year. We rode together in a group of ten on the Passport run and had lunch together at Friscos.

You, along with the others at the table, encouraged a very newbie ryder in the world of motorcycles. If you decide to not come, you have to know you'll be greatly missed. Your expertise on spyders, SpyderLovers, and your business make you an invaluable asset to any group gathering.

IF you do decide to make the trip, then I sincerely look forward to seeing you there. Enjoy! Just think of who else you can touch with your experience?

See you soon and Ryde Safe!!!

I really appreciate all of this fanfare and I do enjoy seeing all the old friends and making a bunch of new ones. But really, you're all going to be having so much fun that you won't even notice!

Without a doubt! It's worth the trip just to see Len running around with his hair on fire. After 2 or 3 days without sleep he gets pretty sketchy. Does anyone know how he pulls this thing off every year?

Honestly, it has nothing to do with not wanting to come. It's the best even of the year. Why would I want to miss it? Truth is I don't want to miss it. I'm just not sure if I can do it off this year.

Love to help all I can, especially with a helmet. I do carry Arai and a few other brands. But I don't carry them around with me.

If you dont go to Spyderfest you will have less "Business Expenses" for next years taxes. And lets face it, the Federals love to take yo money, its really just a good call for your business, and your tax return!

Bring some spark plug wires, some amsoil and peddle your wares like an E dealer in the middle of a rave.
