Let me try to set the stage for you. Bike nights here alternate on a monthly basis between Cape Coral and Fort Myers and last night was Cape Bike Night. We shut down a street and fill it up with vendors and bikers from all over. Now this is not your typical bike night. I'm talking bands on two big stages, dozens of vendors and thousands of bikes. Yes thousands.
Well last night the Spyders made an entrance that people around here will be talking about for a long time. We had seventeen Spyders meet up in the CVS parking lot and we paraded through the middle of all those people with music blasting and LEDs flashing. I led the parade and it was a sight to behold. For about a quarter of a mile the street is jammed with people and vendors. The people will move just enough to let bikes go through and when they saw us coming it was amazing. Women were whispering to their husbands (probably saying let's get one of those!). Kids were jumping up and down. Even the Harley guys had to smile. At one point I turned around and saw Steve from Ft Lauderdale posing for the cameras and high fiving the kids. I mean you really had to be there to appreciate what I'm saying. It was like the paparazzi surrounding his bike. They were on their knees taking pictures, turning their cameras to get all different angles. It really was a sight to see.
So to wrap this up many thanks to Johnny G from Ocala for getting his Central Florida guys down here. And thanks to Steve and Reggie from Ft Lauderdale too. We turned a lot of heads and I wouldn't be surprised if we sold some Spyders. At the very least people know now that Spyders are here to stay!
