I was thinking about all the folks coming from afar and was just wondering how many were riding in? Anyone know?

Call me a wimp I guess, Spydie is being trailered to Gatlinburg then onto Daytona.

For me it would be a 4,946 round trip to Gatlinburg, then 5,660 round trip to Daytona, to make those miles in less than 4 weeks of time was not an option for me.

Well Spydie is having a smooth air ride trailer trip with several of his buddies from the Corbin bike collection.

Will be watching for your trailer pics. :thumbs:

Tharkun#409 .....I understand with going that distance....I was picking on marc & craig

If my spyder needs to be transported a long distance and I don't want to ride it (maybe because of snow or something)....then this is my rig (30ft 4-5 place snowmobile trailer will fit 3-4 spyders or 5-6 ATV's)

that would be fun unfortunatly it is not legal for the road . dot got a hold of me they would red tag it

it goes on the matching trailer and then goes off in a parking lot and it dosent even do much of that anymore. i havent been having much fun lately. but that may change at the mini golf
