thank God no injuries.  God how I hate turning around for a fallen rider not knowing what to expect.  Thankfully all is well and pride was the biggest thing that got hurt.

Here's an easties suggestion...from a Westie. In Irving around N. McArthur and 635 are several nice places. Even down around the 114 and McArthur area there some nice places. One that comes to mind is C ool River on Mcarthur and Hidden Ridge. I've eaten there many times and the food is always great. They even have a smoking lounge for cigars! Upscale dinning and all the Dallas Cowboys you can gawk at.

Part of the conditions of my felony probation, per my wife an ex-felony probation officer, is that I can't be seen with any of ya'll with my helmet off. So I'm out for eastie dinners. I pushed my luck last weekend at Hard8. ;D

Won't help. I worked for Judges... ran their courts. Retired from the criminal courthouse. In fact we ran into a District Attorney married couple I worked with today at brunch. Can't escape that place! My wife has me on "felony marital probation". She thinks my cell phone is an ankle monitor! Your actions will only get my probation revoked!! [bang] [laugh]

I understand, martial law sucks but there is dramamine and ambien that would buy you 6 to 8 hours at a time.  just a thought.

Isn't that the old Hoffbrau steakhouse? Don't live near there any more but I seem to remember someone took over the place when Hoffbrau went under and there were always choppers out front.

Sorry, can't make this one. But I do like the idea of some Eastside folks getting together now and then. Hit a Westside dinner at Salt Grass a while back and it was a lot of fun. [thumbsup] I'll stay tuned to see if another Eastie thing happens. My kitchen point balance will be somewhat lowered by the Cycle World show this weekend but will grow better than the stock market the following week as I help "she who must be obeyed" get the house all spiffy for some sort of girls jewelry party next weekend. Sapata?? or something like that? I tried to act interested when she told me about it but I have already forgotten. :P ;D Just focused on that point total growing! [thumbsup] [moto]

Good to see everyone tonight.  The ride home wasn't too bad when drafting the Motard  8)

Let me know if you and Sue want to ride with me and Elizabeth since we are practically neighboors.  I love to play hooky to ride.

The ride home felt 2x colder than 60 degrees it was supposed be.  I sat more upright to give you a better draft  [moto]

Yeah, it felt rather brisk after chilling on the patio. I was looking forward to my nice warm abode until I realized when I rode up that I had lost my garage door opener at some point during the day. That opener was the only way into my apartment (aside from the 4 sets of keys that were securely locked away inside). Luckily M had to make her way over to the airport to pick someone up, so I occupied myself with some hot sake at the local sushi place while I waited. It was almost as toasty as my heated grips.  [laugh]

It was great to see everyone again. Nice to meet Sue and I look forward to her joining us on a ride sometime.
