Thanks D&J

I am glad someone posted this. I was hoping we would find a place to meet up. I am anxious to show off my new mods and see what all cool stuff you guys have to show for your hard earned $$$! :doorag:

I have never ridden in the parade before, but would be happy to do so with my fellow Spyder Ryders!:2excited:

First photos!

Here's a few photos from opening day (today) at BBB in Fayetteville, AR.
That's my wife on the RT. They would not allow rides on the RT,
only on the GS and RS models. At least I got to sit on the RT!

I was wondering about the same thing :dontknow:

 

[GaryTheBadger]

The red, black and silver are the designated demo 2009 GS and 2010 RS bikes. There was one yellow that was for sale (not a demo) and there was, of course, my yellow, spotted all over town, which turned 4000 miles on the way to this event.

I'm leaving home in a hour for Day Two of the festivities. More photos to follow. Can't wait for Saturday's Power Ride....4000 bikes and all the Spyders grouped together (I hope!)

It was really nice to meet you and your wife today. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and say hello! :clap::2thumbs:

Don't know who that ugly guy is next to the Tail Light display (did you photo shop it? ) because I'm much better looking than that. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Have a fun and safe time at the rest of rally! :thumbup:

Very nice meeting you too!

You're not ugly...anyone with a beard & moustache is okay in my book!

Day Three!

Day Three Report:
Went to the separate venue called Bikes, Blues and Hot Rods, then a trip to my Spyder Svc Dept for replacement brake fluid reservoir caps, then many, many hours on Dickson Street, the main venue for BBB, watching bikes, women (sorry honey!) and eating BBQ.

The photos show the various Spyder Roadsters I spotted on Dickson St. There was at least one more, yellow with Corbin bags, but my camera was not at-hand before she passed me by. And take a look at that wild red four-wheeler!

Tomorrow, Day Four, the last day, includes the big Power Run, 4000 bikes, and we're gonna try and have all the Spyder Roadsters grouped together. Meet up early for a group photo shoot at the BRP display!

 

[one50npump]

Ya didnt get my picture! I wasnt on Dickson, but on a side street 10 feet off Dickson.
Whats the plan for tomorrow? where am I supposed to be?

 

[GaryTheBadger]

I heard that Bradford Marine / BRP would like us to meet at their display area around 2:30-ish for group photos, then we'll get in line for the 4000+ bike Parade of Power that begins at 4pm. Forecast is no rain and high temp of 76.
