I will be making a really cool loop on Monday if anyone is interested. It will start in Burleson at my house and go through Joshua, Cleburne, Grandbury, Glenrose (very scenic with awesome twisties), Godley, then back through Joshua to Burleson.
Here is the map

If anyone is interested let me know. It will be a nice ride, not a knee dragger. Just some really good scenic backroads and a nice sporty pace. All are welcome. 130 miles round trip.
I am in for it. Will ask Slagette (she really needs her own screen name) when she gets home.

Saweeeeet [evil] ride. Man in about a month 917 from AMS to Godley will be awesome. Not sure if I will make the 5-6 loop tonight, took a little nap and woke up a little sore. Doh! I will hit you all up for another ride in two weeks. I have my daughter next weekend. Good to be back riding with the Klan.

Man, I'm gonna have to bail on the afternoon run. This weekends shenanigans have left me in need of some chillaxing. Glad to hear y'all had a blast.
Great ride today. That was my first time on 51. I really like parts of that road. I could have done without the train...
What are your ideas for the ride tonight? I am 50/50.
Kevin.......did you make it time?
Judging by the lack of posting or texts to let us know you made it, I can only assume that you didn't and she grounded you from the forum and put your iphone in time out. [cheeky]

And yes Bonnie, go get some proper boots... I've been meaning to nag you about that ;)

yeah, I've been telling her to get some more.......she does have a pair of Icons, but she says thay make her feel too tall.
She also needs a new helmet, her Spec 1R is way too loose and moves around on her head. I think she needs to make a trip to ML.

The whole ride was awesome, with the exception of the 1 spill, it was awesome [thumbsup]
Ouch, I hope the spill wasn't bad, it doesn't sound like it.

we were on a tight road that was nothing but blind tight cutbacks and we came around a corner down a small grade and there was a road to our right that i was slowing down for. I was tryng to read the sign to see if it was the right road, and Kevin (haywire) was behind me and I think he was probably had his head turned to see if I was going right or not and was braking hard at the same time, soon as his front tire hit a 3 foot patch of black sandy wet gravel, his bike kicked out and he rolled. His bike slid, and he did a tuck and roll. He had a couple small places on his tank from his bars and broke his rear brake lever, and I think scratched his right grip and front brake lever. He was able to finish the rest of the loop. And might I add, they way he rode that S2R800, I thought it had a 1098 engine in it........man he can ride. [moto]

whew that was a fun ride. Did a full inspection of the bike the other night. clutch cover will need to be powder coated, going to black it out . As for the cosmetics its going to get mostly replaced in the winter with a new paint job anywhoo. I have just a little soreness left. My Vanson Mesh gear has held up to a few track days and a few spills. (Good Stuff) I need to get a quick ride in to bite the hair of the dog :) I am working the route from AMS Alvarado to Jacksboro, Then north to Palo Pinto and take 4 south to 51 all the way near hico ;) This will be a breakfast/lunch/possibly dinner run.
basically go here http://www.motorcycleroads.us/regions/tx_north.html (http://www.motorcycleroads.us/regions/tx_north.html)
and look at 157/917/51/4 all the way from AMS to Jacksboro [moto] [evil] then back Its better on the way back going down hill. Figure uphill you could get an idea of the fun back ;)
now if I can just find that spare rear break lever. DOH! [bang]
man I am glad to hear that you are okay and the other yellow duc has only minor damage!
And as for you missy "GET SOME CORRECT FITTING GEAR"
